[gabefergy]

is there a link to the game from last year? I wanna re-evaluate

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

What's weird is my San Diego Chargers mock draft team from last year looked bad at the time but ended up being amazing after this year, and my team from last year in NBA looked good at the time and was awful in reality

Everyone hated on me for picking Anthony Davis in the late 2nd...lol

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Wow my perceptions of each of those teams have changed so much since draft time last year lol

[allblackraven]

Were there only two Baltimore Blaze teams last year?

I'm curious about your favourite team now. And do you follow the Breakers at all, or am I the only one here with that double?

My No 1 is Red Star, Belgrade. Favorite is epic understatement - it's more like a religion. Much bigger in football world but they seemed to be slowly making their way back in European basketball circles. Extremely hard to compete with huge money in Italy, Greece, Spain, Russia but they're showing promise.

Watched the Breakers regularly since 2006-7 and really enjoyed previous three seasons. The last one, not so much but it'll get better.

Yes, the system QB completely overcomes the plethora of selections who substantially underwhelmed.

Yes because having 2 all pro wide receivers, a godly offensive line, and 3 good tight ends ( 1 incarcerated) is awful

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Need 2 more!!

LT Will Beatty pulls a 180 on his 2012 campaign, finishing as one of the worst pass blocking LTs in all of football after surrendering 13 sacks. LG Jonathan Cooper misses the entire season. A porous LT and no LG makes the Offensive Line godly? Let's forget that you drafted two TEs and not three. Giving yourself credit for drafting Aaron Hernandez by stating that your team has one more good TE than it should is incredibly misleading considering that he didn't see the field and is a virtual lock to never play another snap. Speaking of misleading, the highly talented but injury-prone Hakeem Nicks was forced into signing a one-year contract because injuries hampered his 2013 season. I personally see a revitalization in store this upcoming year, but referring to him as simply a Pro-Bowl WR undermines his recent issues entirely. Aaron Dobson didn't exactly fare much better. Matt Forte is a difference maker at RB. Overall, your offensive unit was still a good group. Nobody has called it awful. However, given the issues at LT, LG, WR and TE, it was certainly not the world beater you've claimed for it to be. Unfortunately, it was still eons ahead of its counterpart.
 
Your starting front seven was Will Smith, Jay Ratliff, Sharrif Floyd, Jason Pierre-Paul, Damontre Moore, Lofa Tatupu and Mathias Kiwanuka. Aside from the above average but inconsistent Tramon Williams, Terrell Thomas was your No. 2 CB, a player who wasn't healthy enough to even start half of the season and remains unsigned because of the knee concerns. His replacement William Middleton missed the entire season, much like Smith and Tatupu. Rahim Moore, an above average FS, missed 9 of Denver's 19 games due to injury. Thank goodness that Barry Church can play both FS and SS at the same time. All in all, your defensive players missed 65 games in 2013. Of 196 possible starts, the players on your defense started a combined 71 games. It's not as if you participated in the continuation and acquired solid reserves neither. This was your entire unit. In retrospect, this would've been arguably the worst defensive unit in the league. A good offense does not overcome an almost non-existent defense.The notion that this corps could contribute half of the effort of a clear-cut winner of the process borders on lunacy. Therefore, the sentiment of your self-professed victory rests in its adjective and not its noun.

A lot of people from last year are no longer active it seems

I contribute Breakers content to a corporate newsletter, so among other things it has to be regularly positive. You can guess how I found the last season.

 

It's always depressing to see a smaller club lose out on talent to bigger sides, but hopefully Red Star keeps getting better.

How urgently do we need a couple of people? You'd think with 12 rounds it wouldn't be one of those things that needs to be started tomorrow or anything to that effect.

There was news today that one team withdrew from European League (Cibona, Croatia) due to being financially broke. Lot of speculation FIBA will give that spot to Red Star.

Just noticed the amount of rounds. The process should be changed to 15 rounds, as it was last year.

I did. I follow the NBA quite extensively.

But you're already signed up so that doesn't count.

 

I actually missed gabe on my first glance, so forget I even brought him up.
