2013 GM League Team List

Your perception is off. You shouldn't rush to judge something you don't know anything about.

Since you're talking about me, I figured I'd correct your error. I wasn't trying to lessen anything in regard to my salary cap concern; I only wanted it where it was supposed to be, not $6 million higher, especially when I was $8 million over the cap to begin with.

Spotrac initially had an error with San Fran; they just fixed it. The league was supposed to based off ACTUAL cap hit numbers, period, not some arbitrary number that we weren't aware of in advance. There's no reason to needlessly be stuck with an extra $6 million in cap hit just b/c Spotrac made an error. Not to mention, there's a huge difference between Justin Smith at 9.8 million and 8.0M; one price makes him worth little to nothing in trade value, as well as makes it tougher to stomach keeping him. Ahmad Brooks at $1.6M higher ($6.6M rather than 5.0M) drops his trade value as well and makes him harder to stomach keeping, too, so it's not just about the money, it's about the impact of the falsely increased contracts. I could care less if a player is off by 100k or some sh*t like that, but when it's players who are borderline being too expensive, then there's no reason to have to keep them at a higher price just b/c Spotrac originally made an error.

Doesn't matter now b/c it's all water under the bridge, but if you're gonna bring it up as if I was being petty, I'll certainly address it.

 

I think its silly to expect to change your salary every time Sportrac updates their numbers.

 

ahh, gotchya. No worries. Some sh*t has come up next month that might keep me from being an active GM. No big deal.

 

Hopefully nothing to serious. Todd YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE. You were suppose to stop the Sith not join them!

 

The numbers were off to begin with, so I'm not sure your point. The league was supposed to be based off ACTUAL NFL cap numbers, not Spotrac's numbers (which weren't listed until very recently). If the rules had instead said the league is going off Spotrac's current cap numbers, no matter what they are, right or wrong, then I initially wouldn't have said anything about it. Context, BK.

 

I hear the dark side is where it's at. Not as many rules to follow over here. Besides, Boik can stay the chosen one...... since he likes to do sisters and all.

 

I still believe you cheated on Gik with Mach

 

I'm not sure where you get that. I already knew my cap in advance, and the discrepancy was brought up immediately, not past an implied time limit. I don't think I could've brought it up any faster in fact. The problem is it's the first time using actual cap numbers, so Mach & GIK initially weren't sure how to handle any discrepancies.

 

wouldn't you?

 

No need to beat a dead horse any longer. Here's the amount of cares at this point.... 0. Back to the game. (cares don't work as well as f-bombs.)

 

I do to to..... unless the original Spotrac numbers are wrong, which in that case GMs should have a one time chance in correcting them if they're over a certain amount, like 300K and above. It's not like it's every player on the team; in San Fran's case, it would've involved only five.

 

Clearly there is only one option......we need to start the whole f***ing thing over.

 

Ha, that only works on your ole lady.

 

Guys. Lets use some common sense here. Numbers will change over the next few weeks constantly. So lets not get into changing numbers AFTER a game starts. That's like playing a football game and the ref saying in the 2nd quarter "You know what..that touchdown we ruled the WR out off bounds and he wasn't in the first quarter. Lets add that 7 points now".

It completely undermines the game and the hardline stance that was posted that the numbers we use are the numbers at release.

You'll just open pandora's box and if you think you had drama with Todd before...wait till you have drama with a quarter of the players.

 

Next season then..and maybe a week after the Superbowl. Train's left the station now....don't start yanking tracks.

 

Ok well Buffalo is on record as against ;p

 

fixed

you can thank me later...... just wash your hand first.... and then one more time for good measure.

 

Ah...own it man ;p It makes for a good laugh now and then ;p

 

I'm going to get you all up to date here and then closing this thread.

We chose Spotrac as our source of salary cap numbers simply because it was the best available resource at the time. We went into it knowing that it wasn't completely 100% accurate but there is no site that is 100% accurate... we can only work with what we have. The only site that was 100% accurate was the NFLPA website when they allowed salary information to be available to the public however that ended two or three years ago. Recently Mach ran into the guys at overthecap.com and he seems to think they are much more accurate and have a much better understanding of how NFL contracts work. This doesn't mean that we are switching anything this year but that we will likely use their numbers in the future.

I don't know if you guys welcome change like I do but I believe innovation is a good thing for this place... next year we may implement cap penalties so it could get even more realistic. We want to keep things realistic while avoiding loopholes. I think we all want an accurate NFL simulation here but maybe that's just what I am hoping for.

I just want you all to be aware that we are not doing any form of mass changes in the salary figures. However if mistakes are noticed with a particular player, we will certainly address it. This doesn't mean we will allow players who restructure their contracts to have new salaries but if Spotrac missed something such as Justin Smith having his signing bonus paid out in advance back in 2010 which means that $1.67M each remaining season is off the books... things can get complicated and easily be overlooked.

Hopefully this clears up everything but you can always PM me if you need clarification about something. Now I think it's best we just move on...
