QB Exceeding Bars.

[claystone]

Has anyone had a QB exceed their bars, ala "Tom Brady or Tony Romo" type of player? What i mean by this, is that your young QB playing better than what his bars are showing. Lets say he's a 20/30 but he plays like a 70/70.

I personally haven't had a 20/30 play like a 70/70, but in FOWL (the best FOF multiplayer fast paced league out there), I actually have a QB named Brady who was 52/52 that won every award imaginable and only had I think 3 Interceptions the entire season while having over 30 TDs. That is the closest I have had.

See this thread (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=62880). Aaron Sweazy (originally 16/43) played like a good QB from the start, well before his ratings climbed into the 70s. And he didn't have mega-talent around him, due to the house rules I was using.

That was a nice fine. I saw his progression, very nice.

That exactly what i was talking about. It's nice to see that you can find those gems in the game.

It's interesting but his Sense rush bar gained 8 points from start of his career to the finish. I don't recall ever seeing the sense rush bar move :confused:

I have a QB recently drafted in SP that started at something like 14/23 - he put up a rating of 108 in his rookie season and threw for about 3800 yards and 30 tds. He is into the 30's now in year 3 i believe, but I'm excited to see how far he goes. Having just begun to get good at finding gem QBs in the draft, I am excited to apply this to my MP teams over the next several seasons.

I have had a good look into this, the biggest move I could find was 11 points. It seems a player has to be extremely heavily masked for moves of 5+ points. More than a couple of points is rare.

Funny:

I personally haven't had a 20/30 play like a 70/70, but in the CFL (the best FOF multiplayer fast paced league out there), I actually have a young QB named Krumrie who is 52/52 that hasn't won any awards at all but last year only had 2 Interceptions the entire season while having 36 TDs and a 133 rating. He also has had over 100 in rating each of his 3 seasons as a starter and would have the best rating in league history if he qualified. That is the closest I have had.


The thing is, Krumrie's ratings haven't crept at all. He does have a great WR to throw to, but so do lots of other teams in the league, and then some. Much like Sweazy, he played well from his first preseason game (and that, in fact, is the only reason I even gave him a shot).

I'd be interested to know if anyone knows QBs who had long successful careers witout ever creeping?
