One Regular Season Down, and pretty happy! (Analysis/Long!)

[StL_RamZ]

Tucker Riley (RG) = I drafted him they said he was the fastest linemen in years or something like that lol

Tramon Sears (FS) = I drafted him because they compared him to Ed Reed I believe

And that QB Bree dropped out of the 1st round after being called the 2nd coming of drew Brees in the beginng of the season then did poorly For the rest of the college year lol

If I remember them correctly

Don't worry, it sounds like player draft stories are dynamic....how the stories progress can be different from franchise to franchise.

I just started my 2nd go around with them in CCM with the new rosters and patch. But my 1st was some of the most fun I've had in a video game in a long time. Went 8-7 my first year, just missed out on the playoffs by 1 game. 2nd year signed Danarilo Alexander as a 2nd top WR, and dominated the NFC, getting 2nd only missing out with the Saints for top NFC spot in a tie breaker. Won some blowouts to make it to the Super Bowl where I barely beat the Colts 17-10 I believe. 2 of my TE's were injured so I picked up a free agent TE the last few weeks of the season and he was Super Bowl MVP with over 150 yards and 2 TD's. Johnson got top receiver and Stafford went to the Pro Bowl. 3rd year go a few nice draft picks and had to sign a replacement RE for the retired Vanden Bosch who went out on top with a ring for his last year. Today I decided to hang up the towel on that CCM and just started a new one, week 1 here I come! Right now I'm practicing and simming pre-season to get XP points and planning what I'm going to do to replace the aging offense and defensive lines. It was kind of a mess my last franchise mode having to shell out big money for a RE. Jahvid Best is on the PUP list, so are you sure the Lions don't expect him to play this year? I started him season 2 and he was a solid small quick back, a great combo with Smith

RE: Jahvid Best

My thoughts on Best come from being a native Detroiter and hearing talk radio and other chatter, but mostly from sources around the team and obviously just observation of the whole situation. He's been out with that concussion since last October, after obviously having concussions screw his career at Cal, ending his final season.

So, he's got ANOTHER concussion from last October, and he was still PUP at this point... we here in Detroit figure the chances of him coming back are slim-to-none, with Slim quickly inching towards the door... when the questions start becoming "OK, if he comes back -- is this going to affect his quality of life later on" its time to hang them up -- and we've been asking this since about December.

Great read on your season, I'll be looking to get a new person in Burleson's spot as well, but Titus Young has been doing a great job for me so far, and is having an amazing Playoffs thus far. (I'll be finishing the writeup, but I stopped playing after making the Super Bowl last night.)
