quick vote please

[davidsonj14]

Sorry to be THAT guy... ive got around 45 mins before im home and I fancy a new career. Ill be using the default squads. All I need is for you guys to vote who. Moat votes at 21:30 uk time wins. Thanks in advance people.

1. detroit lions (my team. fancy a super bowl outing)
2. raiders (one of the builder/future teams)
3. Jets (seem to be at rock bottom here)

Im also open to suggestions if you have a better option. Im done with the jags though. That ship has sailed.

Re: quick vote please

Id say Raiders if you want to build up a team from the bottom. Pryor is prett good if you can learn to use him. If you're sim style, Pryor still has stuff to prove to be the starter, so you could conceivably recycle him and get a new Qb in the draft. The raiders are also a fairly young team.

If you're just lookin to rock out, do the Lions or Eagles. Both teams are underachieving their potential and deserve Madden supremecy.

Re: quick vote please

As a Lions fan I love the Lions and almost chose to own them, but then I thought about how much I loved Chip Kelly at Oregon (being an Oregon fan) so I chose the Eagles, I know they're not on your list though, lol. Raiders are a rock bottom team, but they've got a loyal fan base, so there's that, and they're really young too. Marcel Reece is the best swiss army knife type player in the NFL, IMO, and Rod Streater is a underrated, good, young WR. Jets, not sure what to make of the Jets. Not sold on Geno Smith, love Dee Milliner though, hmm....no real receiving core to speak off, a slew of good, but not great RB's. Honestly the choice is yours, depends on what you want to achieve in your first season, lol.

Re: quick vote please

Thanks for the reply bro's. I have to say, the jets were immediately retracted from the options after playing 1 game with them, haha! And although i love my lions, and cant wait to go see them at wembley next year, i went for the raiders. I too like pryor, and looking at the roster, its not all doom and gloom (unlike my career with the jags).

Pryor hasnt been given the number 1 spot for the opening game, but i am expecting big things from him, especially that speed.

The only change i made with the Raiders so far, is that Davis no longer owns them. Being english, and you know.. a little patriotic, for me, there was only one man who could take over the reigns of a NFL franchise.. The worlds biggest brand. Englands finest ANYTHING produced EVER.. The soon to be.. SIR-DAVID-BECKHAM



haha, a little farfetched i know.. but what the hell.

Re: quick vote please

Dang......Beckham really cleaned up playing in the French league then! lol. Have fun with it and keep us posted on how it's going through the season and draft.

Re: quick vote please

lol for arguments sake im going to say that brand beckham is worth 64 bazillion dollars, which roughly equates to "he can do anything he wants.. hes rich" paha. Will do buddy, just started up Pre week 1 with Flynn as starter. Question though.. Ford isnt THAT tall in comparison to the other 2 (i think moore is 6ft 3 and Criner 6ft5) BUT his speed is like 98.. Slot? or outwide? which would suit better?

What are your receiver player types and give me Size/Speed ratio (Height/Weight, Speed, Acceleration, Route Running. Hell give me CIT and CTH too.) for your Receivers and I'll give you my opinion.

Re: quick vote please

(Cant give you types at the moment, just in middle of a game)

Moore - 6"0 195lb - 94SPD 96AGI 95ACC 84CTH 84RTE 73CIT 95SPC
Criner - 6'3 221lbs - 83SPD 85AGI 84ACC 81CTH 69RTE 78CIT 90SPC
Ford - 5'9 185lbs - 98SPD 96AGI 97ACC 76CTH 68RTE 74CIT 88SPC

These are my 3 starters at the moment, there are another 3 backups that im going to be looking at over pre season. Vernon looks especially interesting.

Well reading that, I would put Moore in the Slot, his size is a little small to win a lot of jump balls on the edge, but he Route Running is a way better then Criner and Ford. Look at Rod Streater too, not sure how good the game has him, but he's been pretty good as a Raider IRL.

Streater is my 2nd string starter for the first game. Im giving him 2 quarters to show me what hes got. Criner will most likely be dropped for Streater to fit in. Im definately going to take your advice on putting moore in the slot, he has already lost out on a couple catches due to his size. I understand ford is smaller, but with that amount of speed he should be able to open up ALOT of space right

Yeah, Ford is a smaller guy, but I'd rather have him on the edge with his top end speed, take the top off the defense kind of guy. His route running isn't going to make him a excellent slot guy.

Re: quick vote please

I'm glad to see you went with the Raiders. I'm a Bay Area resident and will be doing th Raiders myself next. Although I'm a 49er fan, I can never bring myself to play them in a franchise setting. I can never see myself dismantling pieces of that team. My favorite positions to make my own in a franchise are the 3 offensive skill positions. I can never bring myself to replace anyone on that team (good or bad). Raiders on the other hand, I have no issue making changes. When I do end up with the Raiders franchise, I may move Pryor for Hoyer, dump McFadden for Jennings after a year, and build up the team that way, eventually dumping Jennings when a draft pick comes up good.
