post draft/training camp review

My review of the 1st round post training camp where I ranked them as one of five categories from Starter to Depth to Cut. I also pick future Hall of Famers, possible future Hall of Famers plus future ALLPROs or possible ALLPROs.

Once again, these are just my opinion and don't reflect what will happen and everyone can have a different opinion.

Both my 1st and 2nd round QBs boomed +8/+6 and both have 100 accuracy potential.

Anyone looking for a starting QB...I have 2 vets and 2 rookies...all rated 82 or higher....all with 100 pass accuracy and all with 80+ intelligence.

Fielding all offers


I looked as I wouldn't mind a younger backup, but they no longer fit my idea of what I want in a QB. Ever since 4.6, my QB focus has been on speed to go with good passing fundamentals. Speed helps with avoiding the improved pass rush of everyone, plus they scramble now.

I'm sure slow QBs will do just fine, not really trying to start a thing. It's just a personal preference for now.

Didn't Smirf and CJ say in 4.6 you can't call any pass plays? The QB just drops back and falls on his backside once his first 4 passes are picked off.

Oh you are planning on moving him to RB so that you can employ the 14 rbs 15 stamina strategy. Got it.

You certainly can pass in 4.6. Medium and long passes are doable, but plan on your QB taking a lot of sacks. In the MFN leagues, I've seen a lot of successful owners running balanced offenses in 4.6.

200 yards passing in a game is the new 300 yards passing in 4.6

250 yards passing in a game is the new 400 yards passing in 4.6

You can pass in 4.6 just expect more sacks and interceptions while throwing less TDs

These are QB stats through 15 games in USFL. U-G-L-Y

I didn't realize Tony Dean has only been sacked 8 times all season.

63 speed
55 scramble

Aren't epic or anything
