Plenty of moves in the International Simulation Football League that could be described as “What if?” scenarios. From trades, to draft pick or appointed expansion bids. In my time in the league, I can think of one moment that changed the course of the franchise. The move is a General Manager pick by head office. Since I started in the league back in Season 21, the Chicago Butchers were known for being the worst franchise. Everyone in the DSFL level dreaded being drafted by them. Plenty of reasons are for this, from failing General Managers, who would draft their capital for an inactive running back to drama of the players taking over. The franchise certainly took a hit for it’s reputation and its future looked bleak. What is the saving grace of the franchise is Bayley and Muford taking over as general managers. From Day One, they have made moves to turn the ship around. They picked their draft picks well and made the right trades. This helped propel them into contention for the NSFC in no time. What if the head office didn’t pick Bayley as the general manager? Would they still be struggling? Would they have won an Ultimus? Personally, I know Bayley and I think the team would have continued to struggle. I have a strong feeling that picking Bayley helped the franchise overall.
