Hey everyone, I know Madden hasn't even been out a week yet, but I bet all of you have already dived into connected careers. I think it's pretty cool so far, but they do have a lot of mistakes that annoy me, but that's not why we're here! If you selected to be a coach then you probably did roster cuts throughout the preseason. Anyone have a surprising player that made the team? Or maybe a surprise player that you didn't expect to put up big numbers?
I recently started mine with the Dolphins(my favorite team) and I thought this would be fun because I like to rebuild teams. At the beginning Garrard was my starter but he didn't really play well for me during the preseason. Even though Matt Moore put up better numbers than him I decided to go with Garrard as the starter. Through two games of the season he threw 8 touchdowns and 5 interceptions, which you would think was good, but not for me. He had about a 50% completion percentage which is what pissed me off. His medium throw accuracy was garbage and he often missed WIDE OPEN receivers down the middle. So I said screw him I'm going to look at my other quarterbacks. I saw Matt Moore had pretty good accuracy but what surprised me even more was Tannenhill's. I nearly drueled over his stats compared to Garrards. He had the speed, throw on the run, short throw, medium throw, and Arm Strength were all better than the other 2 QB's. With that in mind, I started Tannenhill the next game and what do you know? He demolished the rival Jets. Completion percentage is 66% through 2 games, with 6 touchdowns and 1 interception. Also, he is 2-0! He is looking great and if he keeps playing like this than we can be serious contenders...
