*Zack Vega has an opinion- The Players Tribune - WALDO - 03-16-2020
Zack Vega walks up to the podium with a stack of papers in his hands. He is accompanied by his agent William Stockings and has nothing but a blank blue background behind him. “Thank you all for coming today. As expected, I’ll be making an announcement today. Effective at the end of the season, I will be switching to Wide Receiver, as I feel I will be in a better position to succeed there.”
Questions are spurted out by the audience of reporters wanting a soundbite out of Vega. “Mr. Vega, can you explain what led you to this decision?” Zack thinks for a half-second and starts speaking. “I was motivated by my dedication to the game of football and the love of my wife Jennifer.” The rest of the questions were along the same lines, the same answer, the same questions.
Hello. I’m Zack Vega. You might know me from a little known award called MVP and Best QB in the DSFL. So you’re probably wondering why I’m changing positions, like what’s the real reason? It’s actually pretty simple and it makes perfect sense when you think about it.
I want out of Chicago.
“Then why did you resign?” I thought I could trust Valor and Steele to be competent, the latest moves have clearly been showing otherwise.
At the beginning of my tenure in Chicago, our locker room was dead and terribly inactive. We were the worst team in the league and I had about a 5% chance to ever play QB for the team. Since then, our locker room has gotten better, more rookies are talking, more people are hyped for the team and the league, but that’s no what has driven me away from this team I once loved.
At one point in time, Valor was a good GM, he made some decent moves and had the team on the ups. It wasn’t until the last couple of seasons when he made lots of shitty moves. The whole Bex thing was fucking weird and they still couldn’t get anything out of it anyway, then they traded picks for nothing but IA guys again, and then recently they did the same thing, but that’s not what drove me away at the most.
It was the fact that they couldn’t see what they were doing was wrong, that it was a bad move. They’ve created this bubble — or an echo chamber — of players on the team that think this is a good move. They consistently denied that the moves they made were wrong and when presented with basic facts that proved them wrong they would look them dead in the eyes and deny it. It’s like arguing with a brick wall, and your GMs shouldn’t be like that, at least in my eyes.
To wrap it up simply, I want Chicago to trade me or just release me at the end of the year. I don’t want to play here anymore. I’m not having fun. I’ll be a Wide Receiver after this year out of respect for the Grey Ducks and their organization, any team who wants me, come get me, baby.

Good luck, dude. I’m sure people will be banging down the doors to sign someone of your, ehm, sordid sim league history. I don’t often go off on the forums, or chat here at all, but when someone takes what I view as an unwarranted swing at my GMs I’m going to back them up every time. The last trade included an active player and makes perfect sense for a team trying to compete in a given window. Feel free to take your whining and negative attitude elsewhere. The way I see it, this is only a net win.

I completely understand. My tenure in Chicago has been an interesting experience, to say the least. They have the best RB in the league with me, Jake Utler, but they refuse to play me enough to truly showcase my talents. I have been considering leaving Chicago for some time now as well and if we lose a player of the caliber of Zack Vega, I may have to finally pull the trigger as well. And by pull the trigger I mean to shoot myself with a revolver and hope that I can play for a better team in my next life. /s

Even if the player is active, he is regressing next year and won’t be good by the time the team rolls around. The point i was making is that they are making moves like they are a 5-5 team at the deadline who needs one or two players to win an ultimus, when that is the exact opposite of what they are. We are a borderline 3-5 win team and adding an old DT isn’t gonna do much but increase it by one, so that’s 4-6 wins, possibly missing out on a top pick, oh wait, we don’t have our first round pick IN THE FUCKING R/NFL CLASS.
I rest my case.

I dunno...that tread seems great to me! It will really make Philly's upcoming draft class a lot better
