Worst team to start a franchise with.

[rayb]

I know this will get different responses but whats the team to take if you want to struggle. In the past Ive always used the Fantasy Draft to draft myself a team of backups and the lowest rated. Usually end up going 1-15, 2-14 the first few years. Takes me awhile to get decent. Now I cant do that unless I cut half the team.

Tried starting a franchise with the Buccs but they were as bad as I hoped.

What team requires the most work. Would likely release the best few players to start.

Just wondering.

Use the Rams, Cut Bradford, Jackson, Finnegan, Quinn and Amendola/Gibson. That's the best bet i think, unless you pick the Colt's and cut all their draft picks from this year.

Colts pretty much have nothing going for them.

Re: Worst team to start a franchise with.

I asked myself the same question, and came up with the Jags if you decide to part with MJD. The Browns are pretty bad as well they only have Trent Richardson to build around. Weeden usually puts up mediocre at best numbers during the sims I've ran. Ryan Tannehill has done the best so far out of the rookie QBs with a 7 to 1 TD to INT ratio. Dolphins still have a losing a record though. I hope they don't replace Tannehill in the off-season with a vet or I'll have to take them over before week 1 of the regular season again.

A young D with 2 great pass rushers who can be turned into a solid D because of the XP system, plus a top young QB and TE combo and Wayne still getting done. The Colts have more then you would think.

I was thinking Minny then cut Peterson, Allan, couple others. Plus they are in a tough division so I would have a tougher schedule ( although oppostion ratings mean very little in Madden)

The Browns. Their O-Line is in SHAMBLES. Right Guard and Tackle are low 70s and they're starters. The safety position is terrible. The WR corp is SLOW except for Cribbs (when he's actually healthy.)

Joke? Two of the best pass rusher in football, Angerer is a rock in the middle, Bethea is an elite S, Vontae Davis is a borderline elite corner, and he's only 24. Powers is #1 CB material, and an 80 overall is a good #2 OVR. On offense, Luck and Fleener. TY Hilton and his blazing speed in the slot, Wayne is still a great WR, Collie has great hands, Dwayne Allen has good hands and is a great blocker. Tons of young talent.

Re: Worst team to start a franchise with.

Jaguars and Browns are the toughest.

Jaguars - Cut MJD or trade him like he wants. If you can get a couple draft picks for MJD you will be ready to truly rebuild. The Jaguars are in a spot that reminds me of the Lions during the 0-16 season.

Browns - I don't like their QB, WR, or TE situation. Trent Richardson is easily the bright spot on this team. Defense isn't great but can be good.

If I had to pick which is worse I would say the Jaguars. They will be my pick if I want to try and rebuild a team this year.

Re: Worst team to start a franchise with.

People keep saying the Browns, but they are a fun team to rebuild. They have 2 of the 3 cornerstones already in place (and young)

Joe Thomas and Joe Haden are great, young players at their position. If they had a stud young QB (Cam, RGIII, Luck) they'd be such an easy team to build with...which makes them one year away from being a great team to build with.

Re: Worst team to start a franchise with.

I went with JAX. Traded Jones-Drew and Smith. It was amusing. At first I tried to trade Jones-Drew to TB for a 1st rounder. they wouldnt do it.. I put him on the trade block..Tb offers me a 1st rounder. Got a 2nd rounder for Smith. Team sucks now (will soon be dumping Henne soon).

Just wish I could find the right setup. Really struggling with the sliders this time.

Two of the best pass rushers in football?? They are aging and changing to outside linebackers, I saw that song and dance go terribly wrong with Aaron Kampman.

I did the same thing. I traded MJD and got a 1st rounder, forget what team tho. I still have Smith I believe. Do you think you can get a decent pick for Henne? I decided to use Gabbert as my QB because his short and Mid passing is better. And did you sign another RB or did you use Jennings?

Re: Worst team to start a franchise with.

I think its pretty clear cut to say the Browns or the Jets...I say the Jets because they finally scored their first TD in the last Pre-Season Game,SMH. I say the Browns because,well they are the Browns,LMAO.

I want a terrible team so I will likely dump Henne, maybe even Mathis at CB. I like starting off really bad ( maybe win a game or 2) then rebuild. With no Fantasy Draft this is the only way to do it.

I picked up Cadillac Williams for the pre-season. Will probably carry 3 rbs and split the carries 3 ways.
