[quote name='bvharris']This is banned. We have been explicitly clear on this several times in the thread. It is also in the rules.

Blade, you have a warning. Next time it's a strike. Don't do it again.[/QUOTE]

Is squib kicking in general banned? On the previous kick he had just ran a it back for a TD. There was like 11 seconds left in the half and he was getting the ball back. Sorry to be so late in responding to this. I just thought altering the trajectory of a squib was banned. I thought you could just kick it straight which is what I did. If you cant do it at all this won't happen again. This is just the way I thought the rule was.

EDIT: I just read the rules, and I believe I followed them correctly. I think it's going to be hard to establish if someone did or did not angle the kick. I did not angle anything other then default. I think it still bounced off to the side though which I had no control over.

I also believe it was an appropriate time to call for it.

Just read his original post and want to say I called time out to switch to a squib cause I figure it would really suck for him to run it back again with only a few seconds left. My intention wasn't to try and score but to prevent him from scoring.

Sorry if it looked bad, that was never my intent. But considering I was getting nowhere, I was trying to limit the blowout.

There is a couple things wrong with this. First, if your intention was to prevent me from scoring, and you knew people were having a problem with people taking advantage of squibs, why wouldn't you just kneel it and run out the clock after you "accidentally" recovered it? Secondly, you are claiming your entire strategy for calling the timeout and calling the squib is because i had taken the previous kickoff back for a touchdown.....All i have to ask is on which kickoff? You got the ball to start the game and then did that squib after your only field goal. So during that time, when was there a kickoff to me? My kick return was on the kickoff after half, and honestly i remember it very clearly because i wanted to hold the ball out to celebrate and dive in the end zone because i was pissed about how you went about that squib. I had self control and didn't, but i remember very clearly that i wanted to. So yeah, your entire squib strategy/excuse was based on something that had not happened yet.....

[quote name='bvharris']Massive, huge-ass blockbuster trade alert:


Denver Broncos
QB Peyton Manning (90 OVR) -36 - 5 years remaining - $17.0M 2012
TE Jacob Tamme (80 OVR) - 27 - 3 years remaining - $2.5M 2012
CB Tony Carter (69 OVR) - 26 - 1 year remaining - $610K 2012

for:

Cleveland Browns
CB Joe Haden (91 OVR) - 23 - 3 years remaining - $7.67M 2012
QB Brandon Weeden (76 OVR) - 28 - 4 years remaining - $1.65M 2012
TE Alex Smith (71 OVR) - 30 - 1 year remaining - $850K 2012

If the deal goes through, the Broncos will bring the Manning era to a sudden end, showing their faith on rookie Brock Osweiler while also adding a huge piece to their secondary. Cleveland finally finds their QB answer in Manning, while also bringing along one of his favorite receiving options.[/QUOTE]

I know I am late on this, but do the Cleveland Browns realize that Manning will probably retire in a year and Joe Haden will go on to become a 99 overall CB? Leaving them with no starting quality QB and no top CB lol.

People tried to make the same argument last year when Brady was traded and it wasn't true then either. Manning is 36 not 50. He's got a 5 year deal. There is no evidence whatsoever that he will probably retire "in a year."

I'm in year 3 of my offline franchise and Manning's not on Football Night in America yet. Dammed ageists in here lol

You can include the picks when you make the deal, so you'll have the pick already when 2015 rolls around. Just make sure you select the right year on the pick.

I'm in year 3 of my offline league and he is retired lol. London Fletcher also retired after the first year and he was 37 with even less signs of slowing down than manning. It isn't certain that he will retire but it is quite possible. The deal just seems lopsided to me. To each their own I guess.
 
Remaining Games:

Giants-Redskins
Bucs-Saints
Colts-Browns
Bears-Lions (tonight)

I don't think an advance tonight is outside of the realm of possibility.

"Possible" isn't the same as "probable." Nor is Joe Haden a smidge away from being 99 Overall. What I'm saying is that posting the worst-case scenario for one team and the best case scenario for the other team is probably going to make any trade look pretty lopsided. I assume the Browns know how old Manning is, I'm sure he'll be investing in the QB Retirement package (as I certainly would be if keeping Manning).

You're certainly entitled to not like the trade and to discuss it in the thread, but I'm curious why you think it's so lopsided? Just because of the ages of the players? Because just going by overall (always a flawed metric of course) it's a one point difference when you combine the players. Even if you think Haden is more valuable than Manning (which I don't think is true for present-day value, but going forward, sure) the next best player in the deal (Tamme) is going the other way, which would seem to mitigate that.

First off, Tamme for Weeden is a fair trade. QB is arguably more important than a tight end so the ratings difference there is a fair deal. But you can't say adding Tamme who is 27 years old and 80 overall makes it a fair trade for Haden when you aren't getting just Haden. You are getting Haden and Weeden (the other 2 players are bench riders so they dont matter).

Best case for Manning is another 4 years. And that is absolute best case putting him at 40. He could easily retire in 1 year. Haden on the other hand wont be retiring for 12-14 years. Plus old players tend to regress when they get older and that is incorporated into Madden 13. Joe Haden will progress without question. So best case scenario is manning plays 4 years and stays at 90, while Haden plays 12 years and will hit 95+. He is already 95 overall after 3 years in my offline league. This is just being realistic. Just because you think Manning has a few more years left in him doesn't mean the Madden Gods do. Manning is at the age where he can retire at any time in Madden and in a trade where you are getting the third best corner in the game who is only 23 years old you have to factor this in.

Lets not forget that CB is one of the most important positions on the defense in Madden. Joe Haden can completely change the outcome of the game so it isn't fair to downplay his significance because he isn't a QB. It isn't my call on whether this trade goes through or not, but at least give the Browns some lube before you fuck them and their future lol.

[/QUOTE]

Last year we played 5 years. 4 is certainly in the realm of possibility, 12 definitely isn't. Not that it changes your point about Manning retiring, which I acknowledge is a possibility, but what Joe Haden does in 12 years isn't really relevant.

The problem with your argument is that QB is also the most important position on offense. The upgrade from Weeden to Manning in present-day value is huge. I certainly don't disagree about the value of a good CB.

Some might think a good QB is less important than a CB, but I don't agree. Winning with shit cornerbacks is easier than winning with a shit QB. It just is. For my money, the Browns are a more competitive team with Manning right now than with Haden. Are they absorbing more risk going forward? Sure.

I'm not downplaying the significance of Haden at all. I'm the one trading my starting QB for him, obviously I think he is great. I happen to have the luxury of one of the best backup QBs in the game, otherwise I wouldn't be making the trade.

This kind of hyperbole has never served these sorts of discussions and never will. You're making perfectly rational points, don't undermine them with this kind of nonsense.

Then we will agree to disagree.
 
haden is the most valuble part of the brows defense.... i personally wouldnt make the trade but regardless were all our own gms and would jump at the oppertunity to grab haden so i dont blame bv because he was able to propose a trade like this and the browns owner likes it and agreed.... the problam is and well see if it happens the browns owner is a new guy and if he trades haden and quits the league the browns will have no good cbs...

I apologize if you read that comment as hostile, it wasn't. My point is that you're making perfectly reasonable points and having an intelligent discussion about something, but you kind of undermine it with the "you're fucking them, get the lube!" bit. It just isn't constructive to the discussion.

Trust me, other than that I appreciate your input and I'm sure the committee does as well. As a reminder, I'm not allowed to vote on my own trades so I'm sure they consider your opinion more relevant than mine. ;)

[quote name='sprice8688']the problam is and well see if it happens the browns owner is a new guy and if he trades haden and quits the league the browns will have no good cbs...[/QUOTE]

They'll have a QB though. ;)

That concerned me as well, especially given the Browns communication issues. I'm very against guys changing a team and then bailing, but Fero spoke to him about his issues and he's assured us he's committed to the league. If that weren't the case, I wouldn't have traded with him.

Trade block:

Adrian Peterson

Looking for RG, SS, FS, or lower rated speed back with high speed, agility, elusiveness, acceleration, and decent carry

EDIT: Would really like a package of players maybe 1 pick, just throw offers out there. I made a list of RBs I'd be willing to take, ill probably message those people to see if they are interested.

[/QUOTE]

I think what uber suggested is the correct solution:

[quote name='ubernes']Even if it wasn't somehow intentional, a very easy remedy would be to punt it right away or take a knee--which would accomplish the same thing as a squib should be used for anyway.[/QUOTE]

Recovering a squib should be banned period except in cases where the receiving team has clear possession and THEN fumbles (same as if they fumbled a normal kickoff). If your team recovers a squib kick, whether it was angled or not, just punt it out the back of the endzone to give your opponent the ball at the 20.

I think that removes all question of intent from the discussion. Would anyone have an issue with that being the rule?
 
Nope, I was going to suggest recovering just be banned altogether as well. Or if by some chance you do you just punt through the back of the end zone and give it to them on the 20.

Sorry for causing this, and I see what I did was probably questionable. I apologize for this. I think at the time I did follow the rules however. I totally agree about changing the rule.
 
i think thats the best idea... people wont kick it with intent to recover if they have to punt it back anyway... also those who dont want squibs banned altogether are happy to
 
Sprice and I just had 2 disconnects. I was up 3-0 in 2nd Q and 7-0 in 1st Q. I had to run out of the house, but we are gonna attempt again later tonight.
 
Shonn Greene on the block. Not as bas in Madden as he is IRL (very high trucking, etc). Just signed him to a very affordable 2-year extension.
 
the disconnects i keep getting a network error.... i even tried plugging in a ethernet cord thinking maybe im having a wireless problam... my internet has 3 bars i dont knoe what the problam. is
