The 3R cycle is about to happen.
Regression
Retire
Recreate
After it does we will have a better idea of where we stand in terms of players, and capability to field teams at a high level. It's hard to judge where we really stand with things like S1 skewing things so much that Bovo's quoted "21.3%" retention should actually be 28.5%. That's the number you get if you treat each season as an equal part of the equation. Even then the number is skewed by the lack of inclusion of active players who have maxed out on tpe. As noted. When that cycle happens we'll have a much better idea of where we are.
Also, I disagree with the logic that for the league to be active we need the max number of players updating. If the absolute max number of players is updating, that means you don't have anymore room. Remember..this is ONLY counting the people who update. Not the various inactive players. Having 140 of 144 (instead of 98 out of 104 for example) updating right now would mean we go ahead and just cancel the next draft class and stop approving players because our rosters can't fit those new people. Max actives means that there are no positions to fill.
That group of inactives essentially needs to exist to create room for new players. In fact the biggest change post 3R is most likely going to be that the inactive players who are holding starting positions will drop significantly in quality. Some of them will be filler bots once that passes. Either way they need to continue to exist.
