A modest O-line proposal

Yeah but you could say that about a lot of things in this sim. Unfortunately that's the hand we've been dealt. It's by no means a useless position but you'd be much better off putting your best guy at LT or RT. Just like how you don't want a 1200 TPE kicker (sorry @run_CMC) or a 1200 TPE blocking back.

Maybe there are ways to adjust for all those positions. We took a pretty good stab at it way back when and I have since hung up the cleats on that role. I think we accomplished a lot but it also caused so many problems and headaches with all those archetype overhauls and custom playbook modifications to get where we are today that I'm not sure the juice would be worth the squeeze to do it all over again.

So why not remove the position entirely? You admit it's important, at least at Tackle, you allow people to play it, but it seems like a long time ago everyone decided it's just "not fun" and didn't mandate at least one like every other position. I'm arguing it can be fun, we have a sizable amount of dudes that do think it's fun. A small change would shake things up for theree positions in what I think is a positive way (OL DT and DE). But community rules and common strategy are the only thing hampering Olinemen right now. Idgaf about sim math until I can actually get in game.

Edit: The key thing IMO is that in real NFL games we have seen idiots like Chaz Green at LT. We see average dudes, and we see greats. We don't see any of those in NSFL because there are no Chaz Greens. The worst you can do is like 5xErick Flowers. And you won't get noticed at all unless you're Tyron Smith.
