I think it is two totally different "animals"
I definitely see the need for both! Never question that. Somethings you take from your childhood into adulthood regarding games. I think one of those things was that commercial on television. That's how it hooked millions. That's why we can't hook many today!
No problem with pass simulation. But I want to test my ability to kick and pass against those who do likewise and then I can feel good about him whuppin' my 'behind! I can't feel good going 500 miles and I know that the pressures of whether he was able to utilize his own skill of kicking a FG or hitting a pass when everyone is watching was not on display.
I think it would be fabulous to be able to go under a tent and in one venue, you see guys battling it out using pass simulation determining winners and then you run over to another venue and see a guy actually having to throw a pass in the corner of the endzone with time running out.
Each venue makes for great TV. It's just that you would have to decide which type of drama fits your liking.
I think, believe it or not, we are headed in that direction anyhow. I think the people who would run a coalition championship already play under 4-5 distinctive styles. I always look at it as if you don't won't to play under that style, just come watch and help out if you can.
