If guys started sending below 80 peak and if they rolled a good number it could increase them over the 80 threshold which would mean a 80 spec somewhere else would have to drop. Of course this doesnt prevent 89 peak specs jump to 90 and making someones 90 spec drop but it helps curb problems a bit.
I get it, but I don't like it. Just saying you can't send any 70's peak isn't a valid reason IMO when there are plenty of 78 guys just as good as 80 peak guys. If we're going to do it like that, then lets change the age requirements too. There is no age requirement now, but why should a 25 year old 77/88 go, but yet a 60/78 19 year old not be allowed to go? We're hating on the guys below 80 peak for no real good reason, other than stopping a few possible drops. If you want to do that, then fine, but lets talk about age requirement as well if we're going that route.
I'm personally not going to be sending too many 70's peak players to WB, but if I feel that I have a young guy better than what his peak shows, then it's a possibility and should be for others as well. Also if we want less drops, then we absolutely shouldn't be allowing for teams to sell their WB slot to a team that wants to use it and will use it on a player, which could make another spec fall. Some teams don't use WB, which is fine, that also helps keep drops at a minimum. I'd much rather we have WB where you can send 70's peak guys while not able to sell a WB slot. Selling your WB slot (when some wouldn't use it) would cause MORE drops (not less) than if you prevent teams from sending 70's peak players.
