How's Your Career Doing?

[NoleFan]

I know I'm probably screwing up in the FA period. I'm the Panthers and so far we've signed Albert Haynesworth (from my home town), Isaac Bruce, Asanta Samuel, Ken Hamlin and Stacy Andrews.

Did one with the Redskins playing as a made up coach, I went thru the draft over and got all 4 rd and further back players, traded for more picks in later years, moving up sucks only if u need some1 who seems great, I found some nice talent tho, as everyone I drafted stayed on the team for the whole year, my Best a 5'11 receiver who had a 95 Potential, and 80 overall, compares to Anquan Boldin

Went 8-8 and decided to keep all my staff, Still in the playoffs, so I don't know what I'm gonna draft, Like real life my whole defensive side of the ball is injury plagued, and Clinton Portis is usually in bad health, Which is kinda bad, he only was knicked up 1 year, Only big signing was of Marion Barber in Free Agency n the beginning, and traded away LaDell Betts who was crying about Playing Time

- Made a coach and took over the Bears.
- I got rid of Grossman and Benson.
- The Browns offered me Ken Dorsey who was a 76 in my system(better than Grossman and Orton) so I traded.
- got Briggs and Berrian back.
- Signed Micheal Turner
- Drafted Avery, a lineman(i forget name, 2nd round, only o.k.), Forte, Bennent(spelled right?), Booty, etc.
- Dorsey went from a 76(79 pot.) to an 85 overall QB for some reason early in season
- Reg. season record, 11-5
Losses: Colts, Lions, Jags, Texans (last week, 2nd string), and one more I forgot
- Lose to Buccaneers in conference championship (Colts win SB)

Also signed Lance Briggs and Nnamdi Asomugha and drafted SS Kenny Phillips who is already and 86 with a potential of 92. I also drafted WR Limas Sweed in the 2nd round. Overall I have been able to improve the skill level of this team quite a bit, although my lines both still need work. plus I only have a few draft picks left for next year. I lost my first game 17-15 with Quinn throwing for over 300 yards, but also 3 picks.

What did you have to package to get Boldin?

Started a new coach with my Atlanta Falcons.

Drafted Matt Ryan with the 3rd pick. I actually had sweaty palms seeing if he would get past the Fins. Also, did some wheeling and dealing, and ended up with SS Kenny Phillips, LT Duane Brown, TE Fred Davis, C Mike Pollack, DT Frank Okam and some late round scrubs.

Also, rebuilt the defense with FS Ken Hamlin, LB Terrell Suggs and resigned LB Mike Boley. Signed Trent Dilfer to backup Ryan (who is a stud in this game), and Turner to anchor the running game (but he's now out 8-10 weeks with shoulder separation).

The Falcons had a ton of cap room to play with.

Im currently 1-1 in the preseason, I beat Jacksonville 21-13 and got thumped by the Colts 28-17.

Just about to kick of my career for real.

Gonna run the Chargers for my first shot. Still deciding whether to go pre-draft or post-draft. Will have a thread in the dynasty forum this weekend for it.

peyton manning killed me too. i lost that game like 42-20. the next game i loss was to tampa. their secondary killed my offense. leftwich threw 3 picks in the first half. i benched him and orton also came in and threw 3 picks.. im gonna finish up the season to get a pretty good feel for the game. im gonna restart due to the injury bug.
