The ONE lineman currently playing NSFL ball. You're not saying anything about the extremely marginal downside every other team seems to see of not having one at all. And you're just writing off the more experienced players who also don't think the rub is fair.
You can talk about the sim all you want and everything we do know about it as a community and still ignore the problems in the community around the sim. Give me stats about probability of getting drafted at all, let alone in early rounds. Because i'm not saying change a thing about games or sim math. I'm saying consider and discuss community rules and the fallout of potential changes to slowly phasing-in one mandated OL slot.
There's one Active OL in the NSFL because Beaver is basically the only one to actually play that role since like....S4? I'm not going to argue that there wasn't a culture of telling people not to create as OL, or to position change away from it. That 100% happened and still does. But that wasn't an issue of rules not favoring player OL, they definitely are better than bots in several ways. That was an issue of culture. And I don't believe in changing rules to try and change a culture. If anything you guys are already changing the culture around OL with how many are creating and steadfastly pursuing it.
I'm sorry but you can't expect to come in and get a rule change just because you feel like it makes sense if you don't want to bring actual data. The data is already there, player OL provide a very significant boost to a team for less money.
