I am not a fan at all of direct affiliation. I've shown some stuff already, I think it would overall be an absolute negative. I dont think its about the cliques, NSFL teams are already very clique-y in general and already many have DSFL "feeder" teams so to speak. My main worry is positions. My team has 4 active offensive send downs (2 QBs) and if i remember correctly 6 active defensive send downs. I am one of the more send down heavy teams. We would just have a lot of slack there
That being said, I do think there are some good things to be looked at here.
First off, I think GMs should be able to have a higher interaction rate with players. of course there is rookie discord but that is hard to regulate. We have a prospect zone where we invite all rookies (if you are S23 and are not in there, dont worry you will be added soon :eyes
so we can try and interact with them and get them involved with our LR because we just dont have the same general range DSFL GMs do. This can (and has) negatively affect us in a few ways. Mainly I think of the incident with Tesla. She had made up her mind to go to NOLA before we were even a team yet. After enjoying our locker room, she said that we were a close second. While it didn't affect us in the end thanks to the great linemen we acquired, If we would have had the ability to give her the same experience that the norfolk top brass did from day one, which is all influential new orleans players, maybe we wouldnt have lost out on a player before the draft even started. Another person is kalakar, the kicker we drafted that retired. Apparently he talked many times about retiring, but only in Myrtle Beach discord and off league. If we had known this, we would not have drafted him, but because it was an unknown, we ended up having a very valuable wasted pick. If we were able to have this more unified, consistent string of contact with the DSFL, I think it would help many things, and thats a good thing this article i think is trying to say.
Ironically, even though I'm not huge on the proposal, I think the sub proposals are all very good. A two way contract is similar to what we have already with the "DSFL covers 4 million of a send down contract." I think a two way contract would encourage movement from the pros to the minors. Would have to really be fleshed out, but this way we wouldnt be afraid to make moves, because we could call someone up and replace that player just fine without a personal cap crisis.
a separate DSFL HO has always be goal for both me and dermot. I think the formation of the DSFL Advisory board shows without a doubt that its needed. Before we tried it but it was too much in its infancy stages, and lack of people to take up the mantle ended it's short reign. We have actual people who want to apply now, lets make it happen!
I also think the thought of send down years not counting to regression is a little interesting. I think it shouldnt be counted as purely a cop out, but think something about that could be done and make it a good proposal
