    Child, please tell me why bonus points make ANY sense at all. Is that 300th yard passing *that* much harder than the first 299? Again, I'm not going to debate PPR, to each his own in that regard(but really, you don't deserve shit for a 0 yard catch, or a 0 yard completion, etc.).

    I wouldn't pay money to play that system the first year, Tyche. I'd need to get used to it, sort of like with Tyr's the last few years we've all played in it.

    Still though.. I'll rip Standard. 4 points for a passing TD makes no sense at all. Sure passing TDs are more frequent, but how often are we going to see QBs throw for 50 TDs? That Tom Brady season was just beyond crazy. Still, I like the idea of a passing TD scoring the same as an actual TD. If anything, I think kickers should be nullified. There's been games I've won and lost where it was due to a kicker getting like.. 24 points or something insane. Remember that year Bironas was like 8/8 or someshit?

    And wat. When a QB passes for 300 yards, it's usually a pretty big thing. If you're going to argue that 'well the other 299 were tough to get to..' well shit, just give points for one TD. I mean.. it's not like the other TDs obtained weren't hard to get.

    300 yards in a benchmark. They track it in the NFL. You hear stats all the time "This QB has had 4 strait 300+ yard games". 100 yards in a benchmark for RBs. I don't know if you watch real football to realize that or not...

    The crazy ass league I posted above. .25 points for an extra point.

    Do you get credit for a 300-yard passing game when you only throw 299?

    Fuck that. I remember when Tyr wanted to do Extra Points = -1, and 19-29 yard FGs = -1. I would do that. Fuck kickers.

    For as much shit as we give Tyr every season, the dude's leagues are always money (not literally). I think most of us have expressed the love of the scoring system. Only gripe I've ever had was waiver handling.

    Passing TDs being worth the same as Rushing/Receiving makes no sense, points for a rushing attempt is also lulz.

    Yeah, but waivers are always tough as hell to coordinate with online leagues, so meh. But yeah, I look forward to beating Tyr every year. Remember that game where I beat him by 0.02? Loved that shit. He was so pissed.

    fucking rofl, you realize anything with ppr was considered a goofball league up until a few years ago right?


    also, not everyone is sucking tyr's cock btw, the ridiculous shit he's pulled in the past and the scoring systems he uses are the main reason I haven't been in the main bg leagues for a while, along with people wanting to do auctions with people that don't show up

    Yes yes I know it's a fucking benchmark, just like 100 yard games for RBs and WRs. And in the context of the game on the field and not some ESPN storyline bullshit, 299 yards passing is the same fucking thing as 300.

    Not everyone is sucking Tyr's cock. It's just that he's organized a ton of shit with a few different sort of leagues for everyone to get involved with. Is it his fault if people don't show? No, not really. We usually try to find folks to fill in for those other teams. That's the problem with online fantasy leagues. It's a lot harder to keep it all organized. No need to be a shit.

    points per rushing attempt make more sense now than they did 5 years ago. I've said my beef on passing TDs. Yeah, RBs don't score as many TDs as QBs, but you start 1 QB in fantasy and 2 (and sometimes 3) RBs in fantasy. In a 2QB league, 4TDs may be more applicable.

    that's the fucking point. The game has changes in just the last few years and possession WR's value in the NFL should be reflected in fantasy

    Come on man! Like I said earlier, 16 TDs for a starting QB is shit, 16 TDs for a RB or WR is a career year. QBs still tend to score more points than RBs or WRs with 4pts/TD, as they should since there is only one slot for them. If you make it 6 shit gets all unbalanced like.

    I'm afraid to ask how you guys handled waivers...

    I've never taken the 2QB league too seriously, because that shit's just fun as hell. Draft TWo Whiteys ftw. God knows you'd be retarded to actually draft Vince Young.

    Tyche made a good point. In some leagues.. Standard for instance where you have RB RB RB/WR (or whatever the case may be), you have multiples at that position that can rack up the TDs while you only use one QB.

    It is... they are more consistent than guys who depend on catching a bomb. The main problem is RBs that catch passes become unbalanced because they catch all of these dinks and dunks. Shit's unbalanced, yardage is what matters and therefore is king.
