Proposed Usage Rule

Gentlemen,

I am advocating a strict 125% usage limit. All players will be limited to 125% of their NFL attempts for:

QB Passes
RB Rushes
RB Receptions
TE Receptions
WR Receptions

No player will be checked unless they hit 60 attempts.

The spirit of this rule is to give coaches enough leeway that they are not "dump offed" or "honest mistaked" into a penalty. 59 free attempts by every player is plenty to give more than enough leeway. But a small enough figure that those players will not effect the integrity of the cards. Super Great carded, but limited, cards will not be able to take over a season.

Also the cap at 125% rather than having unlimited guys is to keep attempt limits within reasonable allowances. I have Frank Gore on my team. He is a 250 carry a season rusher, yet I carried 435 times with him last season. Another team passed 800 times with a star quarterback. Those totals were completely legal last season, but seem to be excessive use and breaking the spirit of the strat game, which is to be similiar to the NFL. Having multiple runners top 400 carries or having a quarterback with 800 passes is not similiar to the NFL.

The free 59 attempts every player gets should make up for any attempts a team finds themselves short of by having a previously unlimited player now limited to 125%.

QB rushes will continue to be controlled by the QB rush limit that we currently use. And RB fatigue will also continue to be used.
