Moment of Silence: My best player retires

[WheelsVT]

I've been playing this one Washington Redskin career since FOF2004 was released. In 2005 I drafted a scrambling QB named Horace Orellana with the 3.21 pick to eventually beat out Ramsey (tough job there, huh?). Turns out his high volatility led to a boom during training camp, and the rest of his 17 year career is history.

He was forced into retirement in 2021 as he developed the dreaded sports hernia the last game of the regular season. The team rallied around him, and sent him off with a final league championship thanks largely in part to 3rd year QB Paul Marker (62/68).

Sounds like what falcon fans dreamed vick would be.

Funny, that's who I kept comparing him to during his career. Orellana was just like Vick with a healthy ratings boost. However, Vick wasn't a total disappointment. He was selected to the Hall of Fame around 2016. :cool:
(as a VT alumni I got a kick out of that and my QBs similarity)

Also, as a VT alum and GA resident you know I'm pulling for Vick.

Orellana was just like Vick

So Horace Orellana also had a negative intelligence rating? ;)

[WheelsVT]

You mean Michael's brother?

Some other stats: his Intelligence was very high (98), he played at Temple, was featured on the list of Fastest Man, and he was a tall guy - 6'6" 227 pounds.

Not to nitpick but, sure seems like an unusually high # of player of the game awards. Seems like over 70% of the games he would be the player of the game (based on a career).

Are player of the game stats skewed to QBs?

[JeeberDMack]

Have you not played the game before, Mustang? ;)
