9) It’s always important to look forward to the future. Examine your team, and in 400 words or more, talk about how they can improve themselves to get a stab at trophy contention next year. Are you loaded with draft capital for the next draft? Do you have plenty of cap space to sign free agents? Go through the roster and note the different strengths and weaknesses, and how you think those will change over the next few seasons. How should your team adapt?
Not only do I believe that Colorado is going to be in the Ultimus this season, but I also see them continuing to be just as dominant and continuing to build for the future. This team is lead by a pair of incredible GMs in Sylphreni and TVC and both of them work tirelessly on improving the team. It doesn't matter how good we are. It doesn't matter that we've been the number one team in the regular season two seasons in a row. They don't get lazy and they're always asking "What about next season?". Currently we're going through a bit of a transition. Our TE1 has retired, one of our top two CBs have retired, our beloved QB Wolfie McDummy has retired. It looks like there is a ton of loss coming Colorado's way, but for the most part there are plans in the works. Colorado currently has a young up and coming QB in the DSFL who is in position to take the reins from McDummy. Dave Bautista has been steadily developing his game and he looks ready to have a breakout season as he replaces Sauce. Just this past season, Colorado got a steal late in the draft with an incredible user in SDCore who seems primed to work into our secondary. Every perceived hole on this team looks like it already has an answer thanks to the persistence and forethought of these fantastic GMs.
Which brings me around to the question of how to we take a stab at the championship again next season? The answer to that is simply continuing to develop. Most of our players are young. Most of our players have long careers ahead of them. They're almost all devoted to sticking it out with the Yeti. There is no great fear of regression in our future. This team is here to stay and I think will continue to be a threat every season for the next four or so. We have the best young defense in the league. There is youth at every position and they're already one of the best this season. As they continue to develop, it'll only get better going forward. Our offense is built to stand the test of time. We'll have a rookie quarterback next season but he'll be surrounded by talent that is coming into their prime. Williams is one of the best running backs to ever do it and Lim is the scariest receiving threat you'll ever see. Mix that with an elite offensive line and I see him set up for success.
We'll see what happens, but I believe as long as we continue to stay active and develop, Colorado isn't going anywhere.
13) Take a step back and predict what the league will look like three seasons from now. Who do you predict will be the dominant teams? Which young players do you think will have morphed into superstars? Will the league have expanded again in the next three seasons, and where would these new franchises be? Don’t be afraid to be creative, but don’t be entirely outlandish either. (400 words)
Looking forward three seasons would bring us to the off season heading into S29. By that time, a ton will have changed. I believe both Berlin and New York will have developed into contenders just in time to see the league expanding once more as another massive reddit class absolutely rocks the ISFL. With this extension to 16 teams, I see the playoffs expanding to a full 8 teams. I see the potential for there to be two divisions in each conference, which will really shake up the league and how it views rivalries and the like. You'll see a lot more competition between smaller groups of teams to really make those playoff pushes. I see it really changing the dynamic of the entire league and really throwing personalities for a loop as things get a bit more competitive. I see us hitting over 400 active, regular users. I see us growing larger and hitting a point of steady growth as the league gets big enough that word of mouth begins to get us larger recruiting classes that aren't strictly depending on reddit. In the big picture of things, I see nothing but good things and positivity for the future of the league. I see a stable environment where everyone has a place to call home.
Outside of the overview of how another expansion will impact us, I see Colorado becoming the new Otters. They'll be that dominant, super competitive team who takes home multiple championships and everyone hates. They're already a top team who is super young and continuing to develop, so taking a back seat really doesn't seem to be in the future for this team. I see them continuing to be led by an absolutely stacked defense built around their star linebackers Murder-Moose and de Pengu. I see this defense developing into one of the best the league has ever seen and setting multiple records in the next few seasons. I see OCO finally facing some challenges and dropping backwards. I even see them potentially missing playoffs. Young, upstart teams are really starting to compete in the ASFC and I think OCO will find it tougher and tougher to maintain their dominance. Teams like San Jose, Honolulu, and Arizona have show what they're really capable of lately. The Silverbacks are lead by a magical GM duo who will keep putting their best foot forward as they continue to advance as a squad. I see a world where even with playoff expansion, we see OCO finally missing one. The league will rejoice.
I think this league has a bright future ahead of it and obviously I hope to see Colorado at the top of the pile at the end of it all!
