Have enjoyed your insight and was feeling a sense of confidence in your observations. But after your statement that you think Sage did OK and you didn't even see the game, Well that kinda speaks for itself and kinda puts things in a different perspective. Personally Sage didn't impress me with his throws that looked weak and didn't have any real power and authority behind them.As compared to the zip that AJ's passes have shown. But I do take under consideration that it was his first start. Just the Quality of his throws were not really impressive, even though many were completions.I'd recommend at least seeing a player on your own before making and broadcasting your hightened opinion through out the board. I have enjoyed your opinions its just now knowing you may be making judgements on players you haven't seen is weird.
:shakeno:
Read my comment again. I said "I THINK he did OK". I didn't profess to saying that he DID do OK, just that "I think" he did. I made the point that I didn't see him. Check this thread. There are NUMEROUS occasions where I comment that I can't judge a player because I haven't seen them.
"Does the sun rise in the east?"
"I think so".
Meaning I don't know for sure.
I've seen enough of Rosenfels as a collegian to know all about his arm and I have seen, as I said, enough of the highlights of the Ravens game to judge his arm strength and his usefulness to us in the future. Reading trusted friends and the work of journalists AS I STATED, it's clear that he they think he deserves a 2nd look. No more, no less. Not the starters job, not being annointed to Canton, just another look.
If you think I'm making judgements on players I haven't seen then cool. But read this thread. I'd have to have one hell of an imagination to make this lot up.[/QUOTE]
Boomer -
I totally understand where your coming from with the "Sun rising in the East" comment.
You don't have to "see" something with your own eyes all the time to know in your gut the reality of a situation.
That being said.....
You wear the GM (HC) (Owner) hat and give me insight on how you improve the team and return it to a division leader.
Going to this RFA, FA, and Draft period can you rank the positions in order of importance to fill, and via what method.
Very curious to see your thoughts and what areas we need to clearly address and the most realistic options we have in filling those areas.
Thanks -
P.S. not to be a total weenie, but in my Madden 2005 game as owner of the team, I have taken the 2004 squad that finished 7-9 (CPU controlled). I traded Fiedler to improve LT (low 80 rating), traded Minor to improve C (low 80 rating) (kept Gordon), traded Konrad to improve LE (mid 80 rating) (moved Smith to FB). All three trades are 8-10 point improvements of the existing positions.
I did sign Westbrook (RB) as RFA. Gave up #1 in 2006.
Drafted DT, CB, RB,
LOL, I know total weenie.....but its fun to see if things improve. Anyway, the CPU ran the 2005 season and the team finished 2nd in the East (made playoffs) at 10-6. I know its totally unscientific, but it proved my theory that the OL, DL, really plays a bigger role, than a stud QB, RB, WR, "playmaker" would do.
Thoughts?
