Just curious. I sim every game, and just do the management stuff. I've just seen my best player, and he's about to start his senior year:
Usually my QBs only play 1-2 years since I'm really deep at that position, but this one recruit, Mark Vinson, had a breakout training camp as a redshirt freshman, and has started ever since.
He was starter for the 2015 All-Freshman team as he threw for 3,200 yrds, 30-some TDs, and a national championship (143 rating). Sophmore year (2016) he returned to throw for 3,400 yards, about the same # of TDs, and a second national championship (162 rating and 99 overall).
In his junior year (2017) he was put into a perilous position as the only QB behind him (a redshirt freshman) went down with a season ending injury. So much for depth. But, man, did he step up. Faced with playing every down he threw for a dynasty record 5,200 yards, a record 56 TDs, and a 171 rating (still a 99 overall). Needless to say he got the heisman, best qb, maxwell, and 1st team awards.
The great thing is that with a quick talk to the assistant coach he decided to return for his senior year. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I lost to eventual national champ UVA (in a #1 vs #2 matchup the last game of the season), and he didn't get that all important national title to make him definitely leave.
While it sux that the 68 game winning streak is over, keeping him for another year to see if he breaks the all-time career marks is worth it. I thought I'd never see someone break 15,000 yrds, and 126 tds, but Vinson only needs 4 tds, and another 3,000 yrd season.
Which beggs another question. Ever have a player win the heisman more than once? I think Vinson's a shoe in.
This is one draft class I'll be exporting.
