So I edit the scrubs ratings to make him even worse. I then hit auto depth. Guess what - the scrub is now starting against both righties and lefties. I then edit the scrub again, this time giving him mediocre ratings, somewhat better than he originally had. Hit auto depth. Jackson is now starting against R and L.
This is with 6.5a, by the way.

Yep. There definitely seems to be something with the AI that's causing really, really awful players to be considered good. So we've got the bizarre situation where the AI really does seem (to me, at least) to be a lot smarter at handling its depth chart when players aren't too far apart in ratings, but gets the absolute no-brainer decisions wrong.
