Which Team is Truly a Rebuild Project

[Itsfuntobethespurs]

BTW. I'm a Raiders fan. And their philosophy worked for 20 years. Then Al Davis got old and he just wasn't a good GM anymore.

But the new ownership has made the team soft this year. Nothing cooler than the Raiders with the hitting, the stick 'em, the castoffs taking their game to another level.

When I started my CCM first thing I did was trade for Chancellor, Browner and recover that physical identity. Took a while but we got where we wanted

The Rams were the only rebuilding phase I went through, but quickly become a SB team when given a #1 WR and some safety help.

Have u messed with Isaiah Pead?

Always a good time to bump up this chestnut for guys who want to "keep it real" when making deals with the CPU:

One of the "rules" that dropped of this revised version relates to only being able to resign 4 players per year over 75 OVR and 2 under 75 OVR...

I stick to that (excluding kicker / punter) and it does make it tougher...

i feel the exact same way. i hate flacco and i hate cam cameron. flacco is a very average QB and cam cameron does everything in his power to run whatever plays arent working as much as possible

It's so true. Yes, the Raiders have tended to go big, fast, strong, troubled, mean, but that gave them an identity and a philosophy, and even in the post-Madden and Flores era, it won them games.

Now, Reggie McKenzie's desire to make the team "multiple" seems to have confused the team identity. One quick look at the defense makes the point. I can't tell what they're supposed to be built to do. Bartell and Spencer are terrible choices at corner.

I wonder how folks feel about the Jets. The QB situation there is not great, nor is the receiving corps. On D, I'm not sure how well they'd play in Madden, but they do have some aging/marginal players in the LB corps, and I'm not sold on the safety combo. Landry has health issues and Bell isn't that mobile.

Jest are interesting because the game fires Ryan either after 2012 or 2013, at the latest anyway...

I doubt he'll survive much longer IRL, either...

I'm not sure what roster you're playing with, but in mine, Tebow was rated WAAAAAY too high by "the EA employee that shall remain nameless" (I'm looking at YOU, OS TOS) and not only does he end up starting there, but seems to go FA when his deal ends and goes off to start elsewhere...

You can end that nonsense by taking them over and sitting him...

And yes, the team is a mess...

The 34 doesn't implement well in Madden, so you could try and move away from that on D...

Greene isn't a long term solution at HB...

Maybe you could usher in the "McElroy Era"...

It's pretty wide open, due to all the factors currently in play with this once proud franchise...

Heck, even "Fireman Ed" has had it...

Man, the Jets' QBs are bad. I just played a preseason game with them and Tebow completed 33% in one half of play and Sanchez completed 44% in the other half. Yikes.

I used the Broncos in Madden 12 and Tebow was both a blast and extremely frustrating to use at QB.

Jets definitely are a good project, though I prefer Indy because of the rookie QB, and being a Giants fan, don't think I could stomach looking at that Jets uniform 20 times a season.
