I'll start. I started my first CFM today that I will actually be playing. I've done many over the last few days testing things and just playing around. But now its time to get serious.
I created a new owner (since I went with an ex player, I named him Warren Moon) and choose the Titans. I then promptly moved them to Houston to restore the Oilers. I then went a little crazy cleaning up the roster. Trading away anyone who was a large cap hit. I also simulated the entire first season. Because I was hoping to go in the toilet and get a top 3 pick. However that did not happen.
We won the AFC South with a 9-7 record. Tied with the Texans, but having the tie breaker. Ended up playing the Raiders at home in the wild card round. Lost (sim'd also) by 21 points. Chiefs beat the 49ers in the super bowl 31-17. Pretty crazy year overall. Manning was the season MVP. Not sure who the rookie of the year was, don't remember seeing any news about that.
In the offseason I traded Jake Locker (84 ovr) to Dallas for their #4 pick and my first rounder for 2015. Romo retired after the season and I was shocked they made the trade. I wanted a fresh start for the new team. So I then continued to go nuts again clearing out the roster. I traded a 90 ovr rated RT (who was 31, and dropped to 85 the follow season) to Arizona for their first round, #6 pick. Along with my second round next year and fourth round this year.
I then drafted with the #4 pick a QB, Derrek Glass from Oklahoma St. He was the #2 rated QB in the draft. Came in at a 82 ovr, but dropped to a 79 ovr in my scheme. Speaking of I moved from a west coast to balanced offense after firing the HC and hiring a zombie coach with a higher level. Which appears to be pointless by the way. However I hired him only based on his name. Garry Star. Moon and Star. They are both zombies. Any way, I then took a LE with the #6 pick, Zak Zike. Who was projected to go #1, but kept falling. I had not scouted him, but I figured since he was being touted as #1 I would take him. Singing day said he was an 86 ovr. In my Attacking 3-4 however he is a 71! His preferred scheme is a Tampa 2. Hmm.
I kept Chris Johnson, and the rest of the starting O-line from the Titans. Everyone on defense was either a backup for the Titans or a FA pickup. Along with some other draft picks. Team is middle of the road now. But I am building for the future. Not for the right now. Currently rated at 76.
Played the first pre season game tonight after spending all day just managing the first season. Beat the Jets in NJ 30-22. Was a pretty good game. And it was really cool playing with the Oilers unis.
Other news around the league. Ryan Fitzpatrick is now a Jet. Mark Sanchez is on FA list. Tony Gonzalez retired. Drew Brees retired also. Dallas coach Garret(?) was fired and hired by the Jets. Rex Ryan was fired and hired by the Jags. Don't know what happened to their old coach. And a bunch more, I can't remember, its late and I am tired. I'll post more tomorrow. That is if this doesn't get locked down or ignored.
