EWB Bad QB League (Xbox 360)

[Maxx]

So in the spirit of keeping things fresh with Madden, LL and I have concocted a new league idea, with a simple premise: You must use a bad Quarterback

You'll still control both offense and defense, but your quarterback must be terrible.

Using the David Carr principal, we have determined that a bad QB is any QB rated 76 and below, so everyone will be using someone that meets those criteria.

Now, to make things fair, we've instituted a wager system of sorts. Based on ratings and player, we'll be putting the teams into different tiers, and depending on how bad of a QB you select, you're allowed a better team. This means a 76 rated QB can't take over the Packers, you'll have to take a team from a tier that includes the Browns and Rams. Go with a QB who's 60 or lower and you'll have a better tier of QBs to select from. Elect to use a kicker or punter as your QB and you can pick whatever team you want.

This is using the latest connected careers roster update, so refer to that when looking over your potential QBs. It rules out Ryan Tannehill, who's now rated 77.

Who is up to the challenge!?

Sign up with your tag and your preferred QB, then we'll reveal the team tiers tomorrow.

T MONEY SNIPEZ - Chandler Harnish

Ironically, the same QB I use in the main league

[Plubby]

SOMEBODY PICK KELLEN MOORE!

[Maxx]

LL is working on a list of acceptable QBs.

[LL!]

Game crashed on me, and I want bed. I'll finish up the list tomorrow and have it up for y'all.

[Braeden]

Vince Young or Russel Wilson? Hrmm...

Decide for me someone.

[RoHitman Reigns]

Russell Wilson then, go lesser known.

[Toe]

360, I assume?

I'd give it a go using Terrelle Pryor from Oakland.

Edited October 30, 2012 by Toe

[Maxx]

Wow, this guy immediately goes to the highest rated players he can get. Sad.

[ROC]

This excites me. I'm trirby, the man that will lead Tyrod Taylor to the house. (Although, I'm probably changing this when the acceptable list gets in.)

[Your Mom]

Here is a list

Not sure if its up to date but it might help.

Power of Pris and I'll take Kirk Cousins if he is sucky enough. If not I'll get a different one

[Maxx]

That's not up to date. The guys who are 73 and under are probably accurate, though some may have been removed in a roster update. The guys around 76 have fluctuated. Brandon Weeden and Ryan Tannehill are both higher now.

[Braeden]

Wow, this guy immediately goes to the highest rated players he can get. Sad.

Me?

I'll go Russel Wilson since Seattle is my actual team irl.

[Cactus Drags]

I'm in, DragsyTwoSeven. I'll edit my QB in later when I can be arsed to turn my console on.

Noted Sex Cannon, Rexinald Daniel Grossman...the third.

[Maxx]

Come on, you have to use Sexy Rexy.

[Cactus Drags]

If that is an option, I will take that option.

First post is updated with QB and Team Tiers. Pick a QB from Tier 1, you can pick a team from Tier 1. QB from Tier 4, Team from Tier 4. Pretty simple stuff. Again, pick a punter or kicker, and you can pick any team.

It is now first come, first serve. Pick your QB and your team!

GO GO GO
