That's one of the reasons why I'm one of the few above 700 TPE, because I want to be the best and I put in the work for it. Other people don't want to and that's fine too. That's why there is a cheaper tier. Half the TPE for 1/3 the cost = bargain.
Edit: I'd like to clarify my argument a bit with some real numbers. I give you three players:
1) Josh Garden: Top TPE player in the league (751). Doesn't miss PTs. Buys all max equipment.
2) Bradley Westfield: Pretty damn good TPE earner (682). Doesn't miss PTs. Buys budget equipment.
3) Robert Phelps: Above average TPE earner (511). Misses some PTs. Doesn't buy equipment.
All three are season one players. Here are the career receiving stats:
Basically, they're all really good. Really damned good. The three best. And there's not a huge margin between them. Not being a TPE whore like me or Garden doesn't mean you can't be elite at your position (assuming you have a good GM that knows how to use you.)
I'm a tpe whore and I had like 1 sack this season. :belly:
