irish Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Other than needing obvious reassurance, why do people constantly bother asking for others, who are similarly as clueless going into the season, to rate their team? How the hell does anyone really know how anyone did in a draft? What is the expected response? - I've just visited the future and you drafted the perfect team and will win the title. It's all just guessing. I have to imagine most people posting these threads are young folks and/or do so just to strike up conversation and don't expect true valuable feedback. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 And please don't post them in this forum. They belong in Fantasy Football Advice as they could be used to help your team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, never undestood the point and who has the magic ball to answer. Didn't somebody here use to reply in many of them with some random number as a rating. I do wonder does constructive feedback help, not for that draft, maybe they've got others or will use it next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they are told they are weak in a certain position, they can try to improve in that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'canes2004 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 lol. I can honestly say I never had a "rate my draft" post. You know how you did there Buckeroo. Now go sit in the corner in a puddle of tears like the rest of us. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gijoerock Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I think some people post for reassurance while others may post because of their ego. Eitherway, I check the forum for interesting dialogue or something to read about versus viewing nothing at all. I truly respect the feedback as well as contributing to a managers thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RILETT Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Most of them don’t want you to rate their team. They think they had an awesome draft and just want acknowledgement and a pat on the back for everyone to say how great their draft was. You can tell who they are when you give them a small criticism, they get really defensive 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Probably a little bit of everything. Humblebragging for some. But it can be useful at times to see how others feel. you can get over or underconfident about players. Peoples' knowledge is variable, either noobs or not enough time to follow all the inside info. For instance this year I am less prepared than some recent ones as I haven't really researched all that much. What is the outlook for Jahmyr Gibbs for instance? I'd have to look at the specific deets on Detroit's RB situation and philosophy. Lots of guesswork but I don't think it totally lacks value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
