Best of the offseason

As suggested by Dr. Ken, let's discuss the offseason, and how it's gone for everyone.

What about the Best Dumb Recklessly and Poorly Executed SC Decision?

Biggest move has to be the Curtis Gambol / C.J Spiller deal.

Pretty sure there are multiple things worth voting on here. If only there were five Greg Fords, then none of this would be a problem.

One of the biggest trades that kicked things off for Ken and I was the Cassel/three first round picks for Schaub/Alford. It set into motion huge changes for both of our teams, and was the beginning of an epic offseason for us.

I'm pretty damn proud of my Earl "Double Rain" Bowman pick at the bottom of the first round, of course. Amazing speed and maxed trucking? A five star offseason for me!

Gained:

FS Tanard Jackson - 89 OVR
CB Glover Quin Jr. - 86 OVR
WR Vincent Jackson - 91 OVR
HB Arian Foster - 83 OVR
LOLB Jarret Johnson - 74 OVR (83 on the line)
RT Jeromey Clary - 73 OVR
HB/FB Lendale White - 73 OVR

Lost:

HB Jonathan Stewart - 89 OVR
LOLB Anthony Spencer - 80 OVR
RG Jacobie Barclay - 86 OVR
WR Marcus Easley - 73 OVR
TE Daniel Fells - 77 OVR
WR Devin Thomas - 79 OVR

Made significant gains to my defensive backfield and wide receivers without losing too much. Katskins are locked and loaded for next season.

Also, the Revis for AP trade and the Frank Gore for Ray Rice trades were easily the biggest of the offseason. If I were in the NFC North, I would be horrified to have to face Megatron AND Gore.

Best offseason

Undecided at this stage

Best single move
I love picking up Brandon Marshall while giving up Michael Oher. Oher is irreplaceable but Marshall gives me another receiver and bigger match-up problems for the defence.

EDIT - Browns picking up Chad Ochocinco

Biggest single move
Revis & Peterson. I still don't know who wins in this trade


Biggest head-scratcher
Zach knows madden better than I do but I can't understand the Gambol trade for Spiller and Whinter. Can a DL really make that much difference? What will the bills offensive identity be?


Best rookie nickname

TBA

Feed the ball to Marshawn Lynch. All day, every day.

Seriously though, the Chiefs have made some fairly impressive improvements in short order. Broncos and Chargers better watch out!

Best Nickname:

Raiders/Ryan Lewis: LeRon "LeOhShitThere'sAnotherKickoffReturnedForATD" Winters, WR

Texans: Earl "Double Rain" Bowman, HB

Chargers: Robert "Johnny" Cash, C

Titans: Vonte "Wheel of Fortune" Aaron, CB

If he had been on the draft board when it was turn to pick, we would have had Elton "Dirty Dancing" Cox.

What could have been.

Best Nickname: I wasn't awake when the pick was made so I'll debut this to you all live.


Booker "BOOK IT" Homan.

If that one doesn't satisfy you, he could always go by his street name of Booker "Ladies Man" Homan.

For the record, I have now changed Earl Bowman's nickname to "Bones."

Bones, after all my playtesting, has proven to be outstanding. The Shonn Greene/Bones two-headed monster in the Texans backfield is going to scare the living hell out of every opponent I face this season. Not to mention their improved blocking.

BONES.
