Since this is the initial season of  this Prog I have an idea moving forward based on my experience with the ATBA that we will be using scrubs alot for a while.
Why don't we go 2 seasons at a time after this season, not only would it double the rookie crop but also make this prog unique to the other progs and reduce the need for scrubs!

Definitely YES on the double progressive

Personally I like making it a double progressive since I should have decent picks over the next 2-3 seasons. Should be able to build a contender quicker. I would also understand if some people had a big problem with it, since drafting/trading strategy in the last draft would've definitely been different knowing this beforehand. Remember people traded away future first rounders during the draft. In this senerio they have a lot more value in my mind (2nd rounders too, and I know ben collected a bunch of them)
Are you suggesting doing 77-79 or 77-78 and then (as an example) 97-98? Not sure if 77-79 would solve the scrubs issue, and adding 97-98 would create a set of other issues.

sorry but im definitely out if we go double prog...i didnt sign up for that and based my whole draft on it NOT being a double prog
6/24/2015 9:30 PM
I would also be out.
6/24/2015 9:45 PM
Yeah don't blame you guys. Pretty sure dh traded away two future firsts, he'd be screwed.
6/24/2015 9:48 PM
yup...i built my team to dominate the first 4 years...i lose that advantage if we go to a double
6/24/2015 9:55 PM
I don't like the idea of double progressive either.
6/25/2015 1:09 AM
