4.5 and Realism

Is there anyone who thinks that version 4. 5 is missing the mark slightly on realism?

We're told to expect low-scoring defensive games, but this?

Michigan drafted one of the top five quarterbacks available in the latest draft. By chance he boomed tremendously - almost to the max.

So how is he doing? In his latest outing against Tennessee, he went 0 for 62 and threw nine interceptions. The majority of the passes were short - of the 3-5 yard variety. One might imagine that one of the top five quarterbacks might complete one or two of those passes, even if just by accident.

Realistic? What do you think?

4.5 is far off, but it looks better than 4.4 imo. Also the Michigan qb thing I don't have a problem with cuz his accuracy is currently 19...... There are defensive players with better accuracy than that. While the stats are outrageous, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

The guy will be a stud, but you need accuracy in this code to succeed (as you should anyways). He's the definition of a project so you're gonna have to wait like 2-3 years imo :)

Ya anything under 70 accuracy is almost unplayable. Levine wants one more shot!!!

Im sharing my team with my bro to see how brothers can turn this team to a winner. He did a good draft from picks 1 to 4 and my 5 -7 had 2 busts. So u may see different views from me slip :) on the qb he will play all year and if i go 0 and 16 so be it. Levine is a likely cut

if you play Finley all year then you can bet you'll go 0-16. You might want to rethink that. No point in trying to lose. Obviously he'll do bad so why do it? He doesn't progress any different if he plays or sits. Kind of a waste but if you want the rectal rocket award again then it's up to you

To intentionally ****, is "to tank". If you "tank", YOU ****.

Nobody said anyone is tanking here, but I can run my team as I see fit. I don't tell anyone else who to play or not to play and never question any teams intensions.

And besides, no real point in tanking when u have your franchise QB already :)

Edit: you do you I guess :)

I'm gonna preface it with I agree with you Bryson, but you actually do gain experience with more playing time and play knowledge if he starts. That being said, he's not lighting the world on fire this year lol

If you know you will most likely lose if you start a qb that will struggle to complete one pass a game then you can't see how that wouldn't look like a form of tanking? I get it you want to run your team how you want but the fact that it's that obvious should make it a pretty easy decision to maybe sit the guy til he is actually playable.
