1983 NFL Draft Chat Thread

[broncosmitty]

Can I play in the play in game instead of Smitty please? I messed up his picks a few times and maybe if I didn't he wouldn't be in this spot.

It's all good Ritz. I think you tried to stop me from going 3-4, which was noble. Despite the HOFers flying at opposing QBs I think others are unimpressed with a guy who played DT, LB and DE playing DT and a HOF DT who was also an All Pro DE playing DE. Thought the two most versatile DTs in the draft would be viewed differently than they are.

I also should have realized Anderson and Sims wouldn't get credit for their short primes. Booma Soona was an absolute stud, but only for a brief time before injuries ended his career. (Nobody is complaining about the next #20 that was drafted a couple years later.)

I also didn't do myself any favors with the rankings.

Billy Sims was the original #20 baby!

Lem Barney is the man too. That number had one helluva Honalulu Blue run. (Not much of a winning run.....)

 

[Nosferatu]

Yeah, it's too bad the Lions played ZERO D during Barry's run or they might have done something...

Semi-Final games are up and ready to be voted on.


Funny how Game 3 of the first round had 11 votes and game 4 had 16 votes... hmmmm, somebody was having their friends vote...

Those friends came through at the last minute and voted the person onto the next round. I'm hoping for a fair and balanced RD2.

Damn I'm making a comeback!

I may be inv the minority, but I've never liked taking votes from anyone but the guys in the game or maybe a set panel. You end up with at least the appearance of buddies helping buddies or just as bad, someone who doesn't know a football or baseball from a frisbee deciding the winner. Just my opinion

I dont like it either but just having us vote is kinda anti climatic. I would like to have a panel of judges but I dont want anyone in the drafts to be part of the panel.

I agree for the most part. I say we hold a playoff until we get to the championship game and that's where we use a 9 SportsHoopla poster panel to decide the winner. If a member of the panel is in the championship game then we use a alternate.

I agree its not the best way to judge whose team is best because there are guys who PM for votes so we are all ears on a better way.

I agree. I think Ideal would be 3 Mods with good reps like Ford or Skinsdad if they'd be interested. Or, if we have an odd number, we could take turns sitting out and judging. For instance, the 9 that signed up for this, instead of a wildcard game, one person could sit and judge. Maybe Hammer would agree to 100 v cash for judges time

I sent this PM out to a few people so hopefully we can get more votes before voting ends.
