Gentlemen,
Since we cannot seem to come to any resolve on the SOM drfat league defenses and we also have some complaints concerns about the quality of defenses available to all, using only half the defenses which allow for duplicate use, how about this as a thought to spice up the league next season.
I have a copy of every official carded version (1956-2016) and computer versions (card image available) SOM has ever produced using the current post 1981 format. What about determining the greatest 24 defenses of all time based on season statistics (Yards allowed, turnovers, etc) and using those teams for the league defensive cards? Nobody retains any defense year to year and we can still have a defensive draft where your draft position is still a tradeable asset. Nobody ever gets stuck with a "bad or unplayable" defense and nobody ever has to pay through the nose to get a "playable" defense in any given year. Plus this list can be updated season to season as new great defenses may emerge.
Imagine the fun and variety-'85 Bears anyone? '76 Steelers? '72 Dolphins? '00 Baltimore?
Thoughts? Whose on your list. Any teams you'd like to see? Let me know.

I think that would be fun as hell. But knowing this league, some will read this post only 4-5 people will even respond much less give an opinion.

I'm not a fan of it from the standpoint of mixing seasons. As I understand, player ratings, cards and D cards are all designed together based on previous year stats.
I'm good with the way things are going in the league (except not being caught up on schedule which is another thing). I'd be ok with somehow leveling of in-season D cards. There's been interesting proposals.
That's just my 2 cents.

I'm not sure what difference mixing seasons makes, it's just a set of cards.
While what you said is true relative to ratings, we're not trying to complete a replay and the individual ratings of our defensive players are not a reflection of how are overall defense can or will perform anyway. The mixing of team defenses/card seasons changes nothing other than leveling the playing field without duplicating defenses. I'd go so far to argue that this best levels the defensive playing field as there would be no duplicates used and no poor/unplayable defenses. Consider these defensive teams kind of "nameless" with no changes to the current amount of times your defensive or offensive numbers come into play. Same mathematical posibilities relative to players, no duplicate teams being used and no bad/unplayable defenses. Isn't that kind of a balance between Joh's proposal and the draft league cards from SOM offered?
