Yeah but that’s kind of what I’m getting at - it made more sense with CPJs offense. JT5 was a monster in our offense but wasn’t gonna be drafted early no matter how well he played. So the 5th year was a lock. Similar things could be said for most of the offensive positions. If I’m not mistaken we didn’t have a single offensive player drafted early since 2009. So getting those 5th years was more of a reality. To the point where you might risk putting in a worse player into a game to maintain a RS for another player.
With a more conventional offense these guys that are good enough for us to want to keep around are more likely to leave early anyway. And with more “roster management” you’re less likely to have a guy for 5 years anyway. I don’t think there should be many scenarios under CGC where we decide to play a worse option to maintain a RS.
So just be smart about it. Don’t throw a guy in for garbage time in 5 games. But if somebody can give you meaningful snaps - even just a few - in some games, then get him on the field. That’s what I say at least.
