Re: A thread to kill time...You're best NCAA Dynasty players
After the 2004 season in my Carolina dynasty (NCAA 2005), I recruited a 3 star QB from Ohio, Brian Stanton, who was just average in every rating category, and he only had decent speed (4.7-4.8). Surprisingly, he came in with a rating about 73-75, cant remember exactly. I also landed the top QB from North Carolina, but he came in lower rated, so I decided to redshirt him, and let North Carolinas real backup, Matt Baker, start the 2005 season with Roger Heinz (real backup) and Stanton behind him. The 2005 season starts and we are struggling, we start out 0-3 and I decide to make some changes. Baker is out as QB, Heinz is in. Unfortunately for Heinz, he got injured in the first quarter of his first start, out for the season. So I decide to let Stanton take over, since it really couldnt get any worse. We win the game, and then 6 of our final 8 games to finish 7-5. Stanton had a pretty good stretch and finished the season with about 20-25 TD passes, and was Freshman All-American, All-ACC. 2006 season, Stanton is now the full time starter, the 4 star redshirt freshman QB is actually a lot worse in ratings than Stanton now, who improved a ton over the offseason. In 2006, we went 11-2 with a win in the Gator Bowl. Stanton had a great season, put up huge numbers, he won the QB of the Year award, first team All-American, All-ACC and finished second in the Heisman. In 2007, Stanton had an even better season, won every award imaginable, and led the Tar Heels to a national title, 13-0. By this time, his ratings up to 95-97 but surprisingly, he decides not to even test the draft. In 2008, Stanton nearly matched his huge season from 07, and still won every award, and led to the Tar Heels to back to back titles, 13-0. Stanton finished his career with every North Carolina career and single season passing record, and most of the NCAA records. Not surprisingly, he was the first pick overall in the NFL draft to the Jets I think. I guess the plan was for him to learn behind Chad Pennington, as I checked on his stats and he wasnt playing too much. By 2012 (I started simming seasons around 2010), he has become the fulltime starter, but halfway through the season, has a career ending knee injury, ouch. He was still the best player I have ever had in NCAA.
