Offseason Schedule First Draft, Voice Your Opinions

[Suicane]

Really the only way to accomplish that is to start on go tue-wed-thu-fri for the first 4 stages (coach+ticket) and then sunday straight through everyday for early FA. That way by Friday we're at stage 6 by friday. Everyone cool with that?

Works for me. The quicker we get to the draft the better.

Will revise the schedule and get up a 2nd draft tonight.

I agree, Tarc ... but with that said, I support anything that Sui finally throws on the board as he sees as the best fit. Tough to please two people, let alone 31 others.

lol, I always feel that way when i'm making the schedule but the truth is that that first week is always fun enough that it turns out to not be a bother. I'm just worrier. I stretched it out a little on the back end, skipped Thanksgiving so it should all be good.

[tarcone]

Ok by me.

I have to agree here. Not in sympathy(sorry Sui haha), but from a tactical standpoint. Think of the offseason like a chess game. Every move another team makes, changes your move. I can only speak for myself but, this is the most critical offseason I have had in years. I'm not going to win the Imperial Bowl this year, I'm not stupid, I realize this, but at the same time, I am also trying to retain the players I have, an add very important key position players through FA and the draft in the hopes that in the next 2 years I can at least move deep in the playoffs.
I'm not against a quick paced offseason, but I'm not exactly for it either. The offseason is the only way to improve your team. Gameplanning is king, no doubt, however don't think for one second big red bars arn't important either. I'm split here.....But rushing the offseason could hurt more then help the teams that are really involved and trying to improve.

Just my 2cents..............

Oh please, your team, talent-wise, is better than most of the play-off teams. Next year your going to be in cap hell by the looks of it. I say your best shot is now. GL by the way.

LOL, yea, since week 2 when I saw cap used next year I have been terrified trying to figure out how I'm going to afford my team. To me, the offseason is hell this year!

[Matt]

the fact of the matter is that you don't need to export every stage. there's key stages for time consuming exports and the others might be just literally upping an offer here and there.

looks good guys yep just wanted to get through the dreaded coach signing period so we could get to free agency where the real dealin' and wheelin' begins...
