[Anthony D Burgess]

Once more, it is not about what we think, but what is best for the hobby.

A balanced playing style will eliminate this issue. The problem is many have taken EF and molded it to what they like, and call it football, when they should have molded it to football.

It needs to be about the game. Look at it from a new persons eyes, or a childs eyes. Who wants to check the weight of a figure ? Who has time for that ?

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.
