A modest O-line proposal

[timeconsumer]

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.

Removing the position entirely has been on the table many times. It was even on the table way back when we did the OL bot implementation back before season 4. The reason why is that we could never really gain any consensus among GMs and HOs about it to pass a vote. Democracy is like that sometimes.

Y'all got what, 10ish OL in this draft right now? Here's my proposal: Stay Active. You'll be better in the DSFL no matter what cause DSFL OL are garbage. If y'all can earn so much as 350 TPE you're already good enough to start in the NSFL because you provide a very nice boost over the 350 TPE tier OL bots.

But as it stands trying to require teams all carry one OL when there are 10 teams and 10 OL to choose from when we all know the odds of any player at any position staying active even to the NSFL draft are about 50% is something that will never pass.

If we get to the point where we see a sustained supply of player OL then we have a chance to find a way to help its growth.
