Batman1876 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 So we are in the off season now (a Patriots Super Bowl doesn't count) and Bills fan are once again trying to figure out who our QB will be. The usual contenders are all there, a starter looking for a new home, a bunch of backups who other teams aren't keen on keeping but some fans are convinced can be the guy, a bunch of early round rookies and the ever popular late round sleeper sure to be the next Brady. Everyone has their choice of what they want to happen and the tough part is we wont know for a while what the Bills will do and we will have to wait even longer to see if it will work out. I wanted to figure out how to solve it so I went to the go to source of information for smart fans... Madden NFL 18. Its on sale this week so I downloaded it, auto skipped to the off season and solved our problem. I started by resetting the rookie class until there was a bunch of guys projected to go in the first round (just like this year) of the draft and thoroughly scouted them all. There was a few guys who were good choices but I really liked one who was slated to go in the top few picks, he would be long gone by the time my picks came around. So I called up the Browns and worked out a trade, The Bills two first round picks and Preston Brown, the Browns love that guy, for the #1 overall pick as well as the Browns 33rd pick and a 4th rounder (125 or so). with that done I decided not to go after Cousins. I drafted my QB first overall and then grabbed a bunch of other guys to fill holes. My pick ended up being a solid 84 overall, the best player in the draft, and was a superstar in terms of skills development. That made him the same overall as cousins but he was a faster developer as well as cheaper and younger. In the end I was able to get the best young signal caller in the league without having to give up my draft to do it. Cousins ended up signing a 4 year 80 million$ contract so that would have been an OK option had the trade not worked out. So there you have it, The bills should trade to the top of the draft, pick the guy their scouts say is best and we will be the AFC East leader for years to come because, cherry on top, Brady retired! I hope this ends all debate on the QB topic. 2 1
Big Turk Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Madden is ruining how people see football because its AI is terrible in regards to FA, drafting and trading. 5

transient Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I don't like it. Go back and see if you can get them to give us the first overall pick for Vlad Ducasse. Throw in a practice squad player to sweeten the pot if they really push you. Call the GM a pancake eating MF'er if you have to. 1

There's a post on Reddit right now about how a guy drafted a kicker named Rich Fugger; cracked me up so much. The AI really is pretty brutal in that game; I play in an online franchise with 31 other guys and it's so much better that way.

He was a Superstar had a 99 arm strength rating and 85%+ on all 3 of his accuracy numbers. I couldn't stop laughing. Wifey took a pic to remember it, even she was dying... 1
MJS Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 So all we have to do is keep resetting the draft until we get a QB we like. Sounds easy.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 #1 overall for 21, 22 and Preston Brown- who is set to be a free agent? Take it!!! 1
somnus00 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) If we're going to go this route, why don't the Bills just create a player? Let's say 6 '6, 250 lbs. Accuracy, Arm strength, and Awareness 99s. Then set the experience level of the NFL to "rookie." Edited February 2, 2018 by somnus00 1

Man do I miss the days when you could import an NCAA Football draft class. Such a shame that game is gone because of the NCAA issues - now we have to deal with a bunch of Buck Fugger's! 3
1st&ten Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Sorry to say, but for us old farts who could care less about Madden this seems stupid. I wish all Madden posters would put Madden in the title of their post so I won't waste my time looking at it. 1

If you just fast forwarded, it's likely that our draft picks are much lower than they are now.21, 22 and Preston brown are not worth 1 overall, much less 1 and 33
