I am hoping we can have a competitive roster out the gate like Atlanta.  I am encouraged that Tepper has hired people with experience running professional soccer teams.  That said, how does it actually work in MLS?  Do they get first option in the draft, what about free agents, designated players, etc?  It's a lot to do in only a year.

There will be an expansion draft this time next year where the new teams will get to pick players from the existing MLS rosters. Obviously, each of those existing will have players not available for that, but I believe that's how the initial roster is built

Is the team able to purchase players or bring them from loans in their first year? I'm sure Tepper will want to bring in a star player and not shy away from paying the sort of money to bring one in.

yes, all player acquisition mechanisms will be available. the expansion draft will build the nuts and bolts of the roster, while purchases and free transfers will supply most of the real quality

MLS has regularly tried to recalibrate the rules for the expansion draft, to prevent it from being either too loaded (see: 1998) or too sparse... we'll see how they run it this time around

      So.... you're admitting he's never going to be the type of QB who can drag his team to victories on a consistent basis? Because in today's NFL, the teams that are constant contenders have QB's who can put up those kind of games will their team to wins when needed. If Bryce was anything near as amazing last year as the Bryce defenders try to insinuate he was, we'd either have won more games or his stats would have been better, if not both. Yes, he showed significant improvement over the last 2 months of the season.  Yes, he had a few clutch  moments/throws/drives in that span too. BUT... It's also very much a true statement that on the whole, he was still AT BEST an average QB during that time period.   And for a QB who was touted as being a PG who can get wins without elite talent around him because of how he sees the game, that's just not good enough, sorry. And none of that is to say he can't do that this year, especially after we gave him a weapon like T-Mac and hopefully an improved XL and Coker.  But stop trying to say he was this amazing QB to end the year who has proven he can (and should) be considered a long term solution as a franchise QB, as it's just not true.

      In what way is that remotely the same thing as I'm saying here? First things first, comparing QB's to any other position is just asinine to begin with.   Second, you're trying to imply the exact opposite of what I'm saying here, so it just doesn't make sense. I'm saying if you remove the players that teams haven't committed to as their long term QB solutions yet, Bryce is the last player ranked in this set of rankings, that's all.  But sure, go ahead and try to make some weird convoluted equivalent for my love of T-Mac (who btw, you'd probably only need to take away 12-15 WRs for me to rank T-Mac #1 in a dynasty format, just sayin, lol)
