Default Re: Rule Discusssion - QB RFA Tenders

The current RFA tender scale for QB's is
1200 1st
800 2nd
400 3rd
200 4th

In 2012, all but 3 QB's made less than the 1st rd tender (2 of whom are RFA's in 2013) and not a single QB in 2012 after those 3 made the 800 required for a 2nd round tender (the closest was Tony Romo at 733).

I propose that the QB tender numbers be adjusted downwards. Something more like:
900 1st (3 qb's in 2012 made over 900)
600 2nd (6 qb's in 2012 made from 600-899)
300 3rd (12 qb's in 2012 made from 300-599)
150 4th (8 qb's in 2012 made from 150-299)

The proposed scale seems more in line with what realistic QB salaries in the Frenzy are these days and would encourage more realistic tendering and RFA bidding and match/decline decisions IMO.
These are the numbers I was looking for:

RB
2400 - 2
1600 - 4
800 - 16
400 - 26

WR
1800 - 8
1200 - 1
600 - 15
300 - 31

So realistically, QB levels are pretty much in line with RB and WR. I guess it depends on what you want out of RFA compensation...I personally think there are too many high level comp picks - compare to NFL this year..no one had anything higher than a 4th round comp.

But this is not NFL, so I don't expect it to be Parnell in everything.

But my point above was, lets not JUST adjust QB's because it affects one persons declarations. Let's look at the system as a whole.

I think its fine myself, but I will absolutely not vote on a rule change to just one Position, when its in line with the other top impact positions.
