Ugh, Quarterbacks.

[Your Mom]

Do we need to create someone then? Can we play as a pro?

[Dan]

The idea is to create someone new

[JasonM]

Do we need to create someone then? Can we play as a pro?

Thats the awesome thing about Connected Careers online this year, you could easily have 32 guys in the league and all play your own created Rookie QB in the league to see who is the very best.

And that makes me very annoyed not to have gold now, because I would love this and to take the Eagles to their first Super Bowl win.

I'll sign up, the game should arrive tomorrow from Shopto so i'll edit the information in this post tomorrow.

[Maxx]

Ugh, Quarterbacks.

[Dan]

If people don't want QB's, we can do TE/WRs or HBs? Thought QBs would be more used friendly for everyone but I don't really mind.

[Your Mom]

I thought QBs would be easiest too but I'll do whatever

[Dan]

Just edited it, should give everyone chance to play as what they want.

[Your Mom]

So we just give you a name and create the actual player when we join?

[Dan]

Yeah, just fill that thing in and post it here, then I'll PM you the details to join with.

Good afternoon to the first batch of the EWB NFL Rookie class of 2012.

As you're aware the 2012 NFL draft is now over

Dan Higgins, you've been selected in the 7th round of the 2012 NFL Draft as Mr Irrelevant by the New York Jets, you'll be backing up started Mark Sanchez and his backup Tim Tebow. You'll be expected to challenge Greg McElroy for the 3rd spot on the depth chart by the end of pre-season.

(Select high drafted when creating player)

Jim Tebow, you've been selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the 6th round of the 2012 NFL Draft!

You'll be battling it out with Joe Webb and Sage Rosenfels to back up Christian Ponder going into your rookie season but if you perform well, you could be challenging for a starter spot as part of a weak QB corps.

(Select low drafted when creating player)

Ryan Steel, you've been selected in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. You'll be expected to compete with started Danny Woodhead in your rookie season as well as hold of the challenge of Shane Vereen, Stevan Ridley and Brandon Bolden during pre-season. As a first round pick you'll be under pressure to perform in you're first season.

(Select high drafted when creating player)

Davide Marriotti, sadly you haven't been drafted in the 2012 NFL Draft however a number of teams are interested in taking you as free-agent. The Indianapolis Colts, the Green Bay Packers and the Detriot Lions have all invited you to try out during off-season as an undrafted free-agent, if you could please respond selecting which team you would like to try out for.

(Select udfa when creating player)

Good luck!

Hopefully we can get some more sign ups in, I'll be PMing league details today to everyone mention in this post but it'd be nice if we could get at least 4 more.

[Cactus Drags]

How did you decide where and how high we got drafted?

[Dan]

Used random.org to get a number between 1-8 to get a round with 8 being undrafted, then looked at teams which would be interesting, no point in being a UDFA QB behind Aaron Rodgers for example.

[Cactus Drags]

Ah, I was going to say, I couldn't see the Pats drafting a power runner, especially in the first round. Still, I embrace the challenge, although I refuse to block for Golden Boy and his dinky dunk bullshit.
