Hey Sorter, can ya gimme da 411?

From Pioli's 10 things.

8. The impact of Fantasy Football has shifted fan reaction and behavior in a way that makes it much more difficult for fans to understand the real jobs of a GM and coach. A large number of fans want NFL teams to be built “fantasy style” with top name players and top stats players. Over the last 10 years, I can’t tell you how many times I have heard comments from fans about the lack of opportunities that “their” players were getting. I’m sure Fantasy Football is good for the business of football, but it’s not good for players to hear they should be getting the ball more—or for teams just trying to do whatever it takes to win a game, not just compile stats.

I need some help sorting this out.

I never played organized football of any kind, and on a good day understand the game as well as the average schmoe. I know nothing about fantasy football other than I want to be the punter.

Would the top 5 GMs in the NFL be the top 5 GMs in the FFL? I am genuinely interested in understanding the differences and similarities between the two leagues.

You seem to be knowledgeable on a level I can't even comprehend on all things NFL, so I singled you out purely out of respect. I am interested in others' takes, as well.

Having typed all that, discuss.
