I'll get to work on that. The ranking of the players I test won't be based on our scoring system, but they should still give us an idea. I'll try to do a few players from the 2001, 2000, and 1999 draft and see how it plays out.
Your's and Jake's concerns of constantly changing the rookie system aren't falling on deaf ears. As I've said before, I'm fine with keeping the system as is for another year to give it another test. Also, if we do decide to change it, I'm in favor of implementing a rule that a change in structure needs to remain unchanged for x years (3?) before it can be revised. That would give us time to truly look at how it works before we change it again.
On the other hand, I'm also interested in getting the best possible system implemented as soon as we discover it. This league is a lot of fun. If we can make it better, it's just sweeter, but I don't want to screw with it so much it gets all messed up.
As far as the DS contract year cap, I would not be in support of killing that. I think when Mike said all rookie contracts should be 5 years, I took it to mean they should all be allowed to be assigned 5 year contracts given the available years for that teams cap (that comment being made against my proposal that RB contracts are limited to 3 years). If I said anything otherwise, I mistyped.
