Out of position penalty

[iamslm22]

Hey, I have a kind of crazy notion. Why don't we have players only play their position? You're a DE, you can only play DE. You're a Safety, then you're only a Safety, not a CB or LB or WR or K or whatever causes the sim to give you insane stats and advantages. Timeconsumer posted a piece the other day about how QBs lining up as WRs breaks the sim for some reason. It would seem to me that the sim is far from perfect and by switching positions without true position changes, you're breaking the system and causing it to give us guys like Tuck having 21 sacks in 7 games.

My only problem with this is it really limits teams. Lets say you have 3 awesome corners, and no DEs. Should you be forced to play an inactive at safety? And what about in the nickle? Are you now allowed to play your linebacker at the nickle? I don't like the idea of not being allowed to be flexible.
