Quarterback Controversy -_-

 
Due to recent events, the league will outline the quarterback insurance rule below. This will also be posted in the Forum.
 
Backup Quarterback Insurance Process
 
If an FFBMCO owner has one and only one quarterback on their roster, and said quarterback ends up injured, then that owner is entitled to the backup quarterback for the NFL team that their quarterback plays for if and only if:
 
1.) That backup quarterback is NOT already on an FFBMCO roster.
 
AND
 
2.) The owner notified the league within 24 hours from the end of the game in which his FFBMCO quarterback was injured and states that he is using his backup QB insurance policy.
 
*Notes*
The owner who uses this insurance claim is only allowed one waiver claim the week of the insurance claim and it must be for the backup quarterback in question.
 
This rule does not apply to an FFBMCO franchise that has more than one quarterback on their roster.
 
This only applies to quarterbacks because it is the only position in the NFL in which one player plays the entire game and gets stats with VERY rare exceptions. Fantasy football is about picking what players get stats.
 

Mechanism:
 
The owner of the injured quarterback receives waiver priority number one for the week, all other owners are moved down one spot to their proper waiver spot. This is the only claim that the insurance owner is allowed to make during the week thereby effectively not affecting any other owner’s waiver claim.
 
Reasoning:
 
A scenario can exist where all starting NFL QBs are on FFBMCO rosters. Therefore when a starter is injured, the FFBMCO owner would not have the ability to have a starting quarterback. This is a huge negative to the competitive balance of the league. We don’t want to discourage the keeping of quarterbacks on rosters, we just want to mitigate the possibility that an owner will be without a quarterback to play.
