Default Weight Is Very Much An Issue!

bluesman and Mr. Burgess: As much as I respect everyone's opinions and input, I must disagree with your views on weight.

We HAVE TO set a weight limit for the simple fact that some guys would always use the heaviest guys to naturally "outmuscle" the competition. There is NO WAY a coach with a WHOLE team of Buzzball/Haiti Repro figures could beat another coach - of equal coaching skills - with a WHOLE team of ff.com figures. Why would you want to try? That's Volkswagens vs. Bulldozers. That's insane! Can you imagine a newbie with Fab5s and/or Mag7s vs. a veteran with ff's and/or customs?

ff.com's figures average 2.4grams (max of 2.6g). Why would you think a Fab 5 Haiti Repro that weighs on average 1.7g would or could take on a figure that outweighs it by almost a gram? Hopefully this doesn't become a 'dead horse' and we can agree that bringing ALL your players up to 3.8 - with a simple bb or washer or nut under the base - is fair.

Or create 3 different weight limits by position i.e. OL/DL = 3.8g; FB/TE/LB = 3.5g; QB/RB/WR/DB = 3.2g.
