    Luckily,  you don't need to be

    You're right i don't.  The Colts staff does. Currently, he's only shown he's mid at best.  Both in his pro career and his college career... both of which were pretty short lived, 28 total games in college and pro.  That's really just 2 college seasons.  So we drafted a sophmore/junior as our "franchise" qb.

     

    Really high hopes here.

    I participated in my live draft on Sunday, while at Bristol Renaissance Faire in Kenosha, in full noble garb, in the nobles glade.

    Yahoo gave me an A+ for my draft.  I drafted 8th in a 12-team league.

     

    1 (8) - Travis Kelce TE Kansas City

    2 (17) - Patrick Mahomes QB Kansas City

    3 (32) - Rhamondre Stevenson RB New England

    4 (41) - Keenan Allen WR LA Chargers

    5 (56) - Michael Pittman Jr WR Indianapoils

    6 (65) - James Cook RB Buffalo

    7 (80) - Christian Kirk WR Jacksonville

    8 (89) - Philadelphia Defense

    9 (104) - Khalil Herbert RB Chicago

    10 (113) - Kirk Cousins QB Chicago

    11 (128) - Ezekiel Elliott RB New England

    12 (137) - Joshua Downs WR Indianapolis

    13 (152) - Jake Ferguson TE Dallas

    14 (161) - Rashaad Penny RB Philadelphia

    15 (176) - Nick Folk K Tennessee

    What's your record now with this team?

  3. In my office league I just won my first game.  With this team.  

     

    QB: J. Fields, J. Love

    RB: McCaffrey, J. Jacobs, Mattison, J. Taylor, E. Elliot

    WR: St. Brown, Thielen, Pittman, Reynolds, Sutton

    TE: Hockensen, Henry

     

    Never benched my studs. On paper, I've got the best team in the league by individual rankings. But they just cannot seem to put it together each week.  Have been the 2nd highest scoring team 3 times; each time I faced the highest scoring 😆

    How will sitting out the season help him learn whatever you think he needs to learn, and how will he gain experience while not playing?  Just trying to understand your thought process here.  Thanks.

    Not playing can be as good of a teacher than playing and continuing to make the same mistakes. 

     

    You can experience through shared understanding, through watching how to play in the NFL, practicing etc.

     

    Not too complicated. Better than continuing to injure yourself because you think your 16 games with two teams translates to bring successful in the NFL.

    Thanks, figured it out... I couldn't see the option earlier Browsing in my mobile.. I'll try the app, that could make things easier for first time player like me in ESPN. 

    Usually you have to edit roster, and then move the person that is out to IR spot.

     

    I use the app, it's pretty straightforward

    @Narcosys I posted an important question in the message board, there was no response... Maybe, it doesn't highlight or pop-up when there's new messages. So I'm posting here 

     

    Please reply with how to do. I'll have to add some other player, as one roster spot is valuable to have an injured player not being able to move to its designated IR position 

    I have not been available these past few weeks with travel and work.  I apologize for not getting to this sooner. 

     

    Once ESPN recognizes IR it should allow. You can even put people who are "Out" in your IR position.  It had to be something with the App and ESPN. Not ever seen a time where you can't. 

  7. Just finished an office league.  Some first timers, some experience, some only a couple years. Standard 10 team league, drafting in the 6th position.

     

    QB: Justin Fields
    RB: C. McCaffrey, J. Jacobs, A. Mattison, S. Perine, J. Taylor, D. Jackson

    WR: A. St. Brown, Dionte Johnson, B. Cooks, M. Pittman, E. Moore

    TE: Hockenson, C. Okonkwo

    D/ST: Patrios
    K: D. Carlson

     

    A lot of the league went WR first, so I went double RB, WR, QB, TE  to start off.

    Get real, I was apart of the conversation.

     

     

    Bottom line you dropped the ball.

     

    One poster asked if we could potentially change the date of the draft. You make a unilateral decision without confirming with rest of the league that it's ok, and were supposed to take "we can the 26th then" as an official change. If they even see it?

     

     

    Once that was asked, posters should've been asked if it was good to switch dates, if so, Then, it should of been announced in the thread and everyone tagged, that there is a new draft date from previously agreed upon one. Not just assume everyone knows what is happening, or expect we should get push notifications. I don't even use the app, download it on draft day and delete it afterwards. 

     

    I even was apart of the draft order selection process, which by the way wasn't even announced completed until the, what now was, the new day of the draft. Was having conversations with you on that day. Couldn't even tag members a reminder that the draft was that day? So you can't use the excuse (which you already did) that you don't use the forum that much, as to why you didn't tag people, because you were here posting.

     

    If you want I will finish the season. I have no problem honoring my commitment, if you would like, and admit I handled the aftermath incorrectly(was initially looking for the leave league now button, doesn't exist after draft, so was.double frustrated). But don't try to blame this on me , passing the blame down for poor communication on your part. 

     

    There was at least 2 of us that didn't know the draft day had "officially been changed", and missed the draft.(VFIC, myself)

     

    1 more was auto drafted (crazy colt?)

     

    30% of league were not even at draft.

     

    Maybe more? 

    You're good.

    Ah man, I was thinking it was on 2nd, anyway... Good luck everyone...

     

    I think it's better to send out a reminder on this forum in future on important events like Draft Day, e-mail notification is so outdated unless it's for work, so I don't check it all. 

     

    I don't really use the forum that much,  only follow this thread,  but i monitor all my emails.  I would also expect people to have push notifications enabled for the app they are using for the league.  

     

    When there were no responses on the forum about issues with the date and time, I had assumed people were following the forum and were ok with it, as others popped up when stating that the 2nd was not a good date. 

     

    I do try to tag quiet often, but I slso expect people to monitor their league notifications, be active on this forum for the league, and not require me to tag them in order to be active.

    Ok,  I'll do the 2nd at 2pm EST so it doesn't roll into people dinner. 

     

    And if anyone knows someone interested,  we need a 10th as @onebad150 hasn't come up online yet.

    The 26th is doable as well as the evening if the 2nd. But you'll be too busy to deal with this and I wouldn't want to inconvenience you. 

     

    We can the 26th then.  

    @w87r

     

    We discussed it here.

    Wow, bad communication here.

     

     

    Trying to settle on a date, never confirmed a time and date while tagging people.

     

    Picking a draft order, which apparently was never completed until day of draft.

     

    Again, no tagging people about draft is today?

     

     

    Probably be rolling with 2 unmanned teams, I guess... I don't know, will debate it tonight? This is just annoying.

     

    Should of just got out when I initially wanted to.

    When crazycolt couldnt join, that made the positions set. 

    I posted that we were going to do it the 26th. I set the Date and Time which generated Email notifications and ESPN app notifications. The same notifications were sent out when draft order was set

    Maybe I should have pinged again, but I would assume you'd see those notifications both in Email and in the ESPN App. I also additionally figured people would be following and checking in on the forum for which their draft is based upon.

    What's the final draft order?

     

    Do we still need another person to join?

     

    Apart from crazy colt, I still see one vacant spot in the above list. I've not checked the league site though. 

    Nah, I filled CrazyColts spot with a random team and IndyD4U got the last.   We're good.
