I may not make the correct draft pick each and every time ... or sign an international leaguer when I should have. The development engine allows enough randomness that I will miss here and there. What I won't ever do, though, is make an incorrect 40-man roster move, incorrectly use my player options, hire a substandard scout/coach/trainer when a better one is available, etc. These are the things I want the AI to avoid, always. OldFatGuy states that the AI will make poor decisions with these options. Sweed doesn't seem to think so. Lukasberger, are these the options you mean that the AI won't handle as well as a human player? The Wolf, I understand your point about stats only, and agree that it can have a massive effect on both the AI and human player and will be using it to see if the AI uses it correctly. This is not about me, the human player. I'm not going to make mistakes with regard to the intricacies of roster management. Its impossible to always accurately gauge the development engine and that is a good thing. This is about the AI playing against the AI and ensuring that the AI games and rosters are managed correctly.

a couple things...
The AI playing against the AI is always "fair" no matter how correctly or incorrectly the game is managed by the AI, no matter how many bugs the game has, or anything. Since every AI team has the same advantages and disadvantages. You say this is about the AI playing the AI but you are constantly bringing it back to the AI vs. a human. If you are truely talking about just AI vs. AI none of any of this entire thread matters or any thread here would matter since the AI will always be using the same AI engine based on what you set.
The first bolded line from above... You will make all of those. Except maybe for the coach signing. Personally I feel that is an area where the human has 100% control over the AI. The difference is though that the AI will always go for the best available coach it can get (Taking budget and personalities and league rep, etc. into the decision). All of the moves you stated are a guess and they will sometimes be wrong. The difference is not that you won't make them, which you will, it's that you can fix them immediately.
Pertaining to the second bolded line... Are you really saying you never make a mistake in game? That's a pretty bold statement. I'm going to try and decipher what you meant and not just believe your a narcissist. I think you mean you're moves can't be "wrong" to you as a human player because you picked them. Your always picking what you perceive to be the best move. But what you perceive to be the best move isn't always the best move. Personally I'd venture to guess the AI is a lot better at all those things then you think it is. It's not perfect but it does a great job at what it does. remember when looking at what the AI does you only see the action not what went into the action.
