I wanted to see some movement this season and go for kind of a shock value with these rankings, but I had to keep this the same; actually maybe too high

Pretty crappy initial rankings considering those teams are destined to play in the 'ship


10 is probably about right. A bit surprised to see us ranked behind the Nighthawks though after beating them 73-9

I agree. You will likely be lower. You took a major roster hit in the offseason and it doesn't look like you've filled it back out. On top of that, about a quarter of your team is already in or will start decline on Day 1 and a good number of players won't improve unless they boost. I'm not saying you will definitely struggle, but the chances are high that you will.

Normally I feel that jp's ratings are pretty much spot on. I think we'll see significant differences between these and the rankings that come out at the midpoint, and maybe even quarter point of the season,

They don't mean anything. I never said I wouldn't read them and post, and my post is basically about how worthless they are.

Are we still recruiting? Yes

Is our chemistry going to be low? Yes, but so will 3/4 of the other teams. Besides, I think too many people put chemistry too high in the ratings. If you've seen the studies, you know it's a difference maker, but minimal difference at best.

Is our roster getting old? A little, but we are getting young with every new signing. We won with nearly all of our players on decline last season. As long as you aren't past day 480 during playoffs, you won't hurt too noticeably.

Our entire team is boosting, and all have CEQ as well. You have to have that to be competitive in Pro, especially USA.

Like I said, we have been ranked low before (due to our roster size at the time), but that was pre-season ranks as well.

It's obvious that no-one here in Pro's really knows much about us and our roster turn-over every season. Our record shows that we don't suffer form that.

I like being under the radar though, so I'm not complaining. I am just stating how useless these rankings are, especially these last couple seasons of retirement issues.

We do it every season. Believe it or not, but most of best builds we have ever signed were after the season roll over and usually after the first pre-season game.

That argument holds no water.

As to the "under the radar"......We're in USA Pro now, there really is no "under the radar" here. As much as I would like to be.

We'll see how well some of those builds translate to the Pro level. You may find a gem here and there, but I don't think it'll be enough to round out a Pro level roster.
