Originally posted by JeffSteele wow first one I was against. Just having the option makes it quasi-mandatory, and the reason you don't hear about agents being cut for closing their builds from the team is that agents can't do it because the market has forced everyone to have their builds at least open to the GM
Alrighty, I'm gonna stop keeping track of the in-thread +1's and -1's now that this is up for an official vote. Instead, I'll just keep track of the official votes.
OFFICIAL GLB SUGGESTIONS VOTING SO FAR
Official votes as of Thursday 1/20 11:50pm Eastern Time: FOR: 395 (81.78%) AGAINST: 88 (18.22%)
Quite a few votes against - given the lack of negative votes actually telling us why in this thread, I'd have to say there must be a fair bit of knee-jerk negative voting going on. Because as far as I can tell this suggestion doesn't really have any holes in it.
this is just "creeping owner-ism" the gradual shift of control from the agents to the team owners... this must be stopped...
The York family doesn't get to tell Frank Gore how hard he is going to play.... what degree of effort he'll give or in what manner... all they can do is sign/not sign him based on his performance.
No matter what anyone says about how this is "voluntary"--it will result in teams not signing players who don't comply... you know it will happen.
I am utterly shocked that 70% of people right now think this is a good idea!
Originally posted by fogie55 worst idea ever! why not just let agents sign over their dots to the team?
Do you feel the same way about having the option to have your build open or closed too? 'Cause I guarantee, your build is far more important than your tactics.
I really don't get this... people have no problem letting owners see their builds, but their TACTICS are where they draw the line? That's like saying, "Okay, you can see my junk, but I'm drawing the line at letting you see my shoulder too! My shirt stays on!"
Good owners will prosper. Bad owners will fail. This is a tool that will help separate them. In real life, you'd "hide" your tactics choices for how many plays?
