if a minimum pass accuracy mandate would be beneficial for the league

first thought is yes.....but im not much of a fan of the law....the less rules the better

I would think that would fall under no tanking. I'd also judge it by future rating not just current.

but one more thing for league admin to watch over

If you have a QB with low current pass acc but high potential max you'll need to give him as much play time as possible for his development.

No.

No comment from a Owner who watches his Team run the ball on 3rd and 10 every game.
Here...talk to my FB, he's obviously screwing the Owners daughter and knows more than I do.

aren't you the owner? :) Maybe he is a good kid

after some consideration, i will eventually be implementing a minimum pass accuracy mandate for QBs. this will not go into effect this season or next.

the objective is to maintain a competitive league with sensible stats. as of now, there is not a whole lot of pass accuracy to be divvied up since the league is in its infancy and is full of developing players. over time, there will be more QBs with pass accuracy over 50 and will become more obtainable.

in my opinion, this is no different than requiring every team to have a punter and a kicker. QBs with pass accuracy below 50 are simply ineffective, provide teams with little to no chance for victory and often lead to warped stats. QBs with current pass accuracy below 50 will be permitted as long as their future pass accuracy is 65+ and are clearly in the developmental stage (a current example is Brazzaville QB Dennis Cobb)

this subject will be revisited at the beginning of the 2071 cycle. hopefully by then every team will have a competent QB

while we are here..... teams who have secured their position in the playoffs can rest players to avoid injury, but otherwise please make sure to play your best players in pursuit of victory......tanking is not encouraged.

week 14 in Rosario seems to have been a learning experience for jhoseph and hopefully any other owners unfamiliar with the importance of pass accuracy. i do not want to see any owners who are out of playoff contention losing games on purpose in order to secure a better spot on draft day

I get you want to keep it competitive but having rules on what players abilities are on each team. ?? Many rookies have low accuracy you saying we cant draft and build players.? What's next WR must have catch ability at a certain point... **** why stop there if a defender has low tackle abilities then heaven forbid he is on a team.

I am against rules (orders) on what my players abilities are. If I want a QB for whatever reason it should be my call.. maybe his generated name means something to me. ( I dont buy credits so I dont change names) I carried a OL in another league because he was named after my son.. he sucked and eat a roster spot.. but I loved it.

That's my 2 cents for whatever it is worth

i understand your concern & appreciate your feedback.

quoted from the message above....."QBs with current pass accuracy below 50 will be permitted as long as their future pass accuracy is 65+ and are clearly in the developmental stage".........this will provide the time needed for young QBs to develop into reliable starters.

also......"this subject will be revisited at the beginning of the 2071 cycle. hopefully by then every team will have a competent QB".....this means that as of now there is nothing concrete. there is the remainder of this season and the entire subsequent season for me to evaluate the necessity of the mandate proposal.

there is no reason to speculate on any further attribute requirements for any other positions because there will not be any. you seem to have an active imagination :) this is not an attack on freedom

from your post, "....you saying we cant draft and build players.?"...... no. in no way am i suggesting that an owner can not draft a QB with a low accuracy rating (however, i am not sure why anyone would want one outside of a gamble on a highly volatile prospect). what i am suggesting is that starting QBs with low pass accuracy ratings are absolutely detrimental to a teams chance to be competitive, which in turn compromises the integrity of the league (if anyone can locate a starting QB in MFN RO with less than 50 current pass accuracy who has respectable stats, please share). if any team is getting two free wins a year due to a lousy QB in their division it can potentially influence playoff seeding.

requiring teams to start a QB that is able to complete passes - now or in the future - at a realistic rate seems like a simple one to me, just as it is simple to require teams to have punters and kickers. in no way do i feel that this mandate proposal is out of line. i do feel that it would be unfair to make any immediate requirements or for the requirements be difficult to meet, hence the time frame provided and minimal qualifications. eventually, the free agent pool will have several qualifying QBs. in fact, there are a hand full in free agency right now.......

and after all, why would an owner want a ultra crappy starting QB? pass accuracy is a highly influential attribute when gauging a QBs effectiveness. a team doesnt need a QB with 100 pass accuracy to win, but a team isnt winning anything with a QB under 50
