hard to find a worse front office in the game right now, the other teams know it too.
Houston, recently, and Washington, definitely giving them a run for thier money.
I'd like to throw the Bears into the mix.
Ryan Pace is a first-time GM and has made some poor choices in the drafts.
Go a little higher in the front office and you have "yes" men and business executives and not much "football" personnel.
George Halas would be rolling over in his grave.

If I had a say I would hire Louis Riddick as GM and then reach out to passionate ex-Bears to coach and or run the front office. Names like Jim Harbaugh, Mike Singeltary, Leslie Frasier, Peanut Tillman and even Ron "Chico" Rivera.

for anyone that ever wonders why the Greatest Show on Turf crashed and burned, this is the exact reason!

Georgia Frontiere stole the rams from LA, then let he dumb dumb kids run it into the ground after Dick Vermeil resurrected the team.

Honestly ive never thought Ozigbo was a true NFL RB..but, "chip and a chair " is all that it takes to make RB's roster worthy in fantasy
It's ARMSTEAD SZN baybeeeee

Good thing is I haven't drafted Fournette yet, bc I was afraid of this very scenario, and I still have 3 more drafts. I guess they tried and tried trading him but no hits. Wonder where he ends up? He's only $4M someone will fork it up.

Bucs or Bills?
I have him in my first money league home draft, but I got to keep him for a 7th and we're doing a dumb thing this year where we knocked the starters back to 1RB and 1WR (but added a flex) so whatever. My team in that league is fucking stacked though... Somehow Saquon fell to me at 6. It's a superflex league, but still... there's no way that should ever happen haha.

Heard rumors they tried to get a 5th or 6th rounder for him and nobody would do it lol.
Most likely because teams that may have been interested knew they were just gonna cut him anyway. Can't really imagine a ton of teams would be in on Uncle Len, though.

Patriots would be a very interesting landing spot.

At least Houston hit on Deshaun and has been a pretty regular playoff participant. Shit, they had a massive lead on KC before BOB and Co fucked that into oblivion (Yeah, Pat Mahomes may have had something to do with it too).

I'm gonna toot my own horn here a bit, because I feel like the team I got is unreal good.

It's a 10 team league with my keepers being A-Rob in RD6 and LoFo in RD7. PPR with bonuses for yards... I know 10 team leagues tend to lend for more loaded rosters, but goddamn these boys made some of my picks easy. I think there were at least 4-5 times where I stated my pick no more than 1 second after the guy before me. I was lucky in that I had the 5 worst players in the league picking before me in RD1...

Screenshot (43).png Screenshot (44).png

My draft went...

1.6 Saquon (LOL)
2.5 Henry
3.6 Julio (LOOOOOOOL)
4.5 Stafford
5.6 Golladay (LOOOOOOOL)
6.5 Robinson (Keeper)
7.6 Fournette (Keeper)
8.5 Waller
9.6 Parker (Feel like the value here is unreal)
10.5 RoJo
11.6 Moss
12.5 Coleman
13.6 Goff
14.5 Shepherd
15.6 Jarwin
16.5 Goedart (Kinda laughable that I took Jarwin fisrt but at this point I couldn't turn the value down)
17.6 DAL
18.5 Zane

Well how the hell was I supposed to know that 'recently' meant 'literally within the past 6 months'???

I do agree that BOB is a fuckhead of the greatest proportions, though.

Definitely looks like an overpowered team even for 10 team. Were a lot of teams keeping QB's? I see you got Stafford in the 4th...

Some teams kept QBs, but it wasn't a ton. The QBs just fly off the fucking board in this league
(Mahomes and Jackson both went at 3 and 4, allowing me to snag Saquon at 6). I know there were at least 6 taken within the first 2 rounds and probably close to 10 after 3 rounds. Had to make a move and get my guy in round 4.

These guys really really overvalue the Superflex, I think.

Its a 2qb/superflex league, where teams with 2 great QB's dominate, and you've got 2 mediocre ones. Better hope that stable of RB's and WR's ball out every week

Being a keeper, I'm curious as to your finishes in the league. Has thier strategy of over valuing the superflex paid off for them, or no?

I mean... teams with 2 'Great' QBs don't dominate... and Stafford is gonna be far from "Mediocre" but yeah, continue to hate me.
