i wasn&#039;t really around for the franchising era, but I guess it comes down to the best captains are gonna win every time.&nbsp; That&#039;s why Ralph and Nostar are undefeated.&nbsp; During the franchise era, the best players will (likely) want to franchise with them, and they (apparently) are the only ones smart enough to draft right without franchising.&nbsp; Also, having themselves on each of their teams helps a lot too.&nbsp; I dunno, it is what it is I guess.&nbsp; That being said, I&#039;m the greatest captain ever and if I had a decent connection that would show.&nbsp; Just saying.
