Your Starting a New Franchise

[tarcone]

The IFL has decided to expand. You get one of the new franchises. You can choose 1 player off of each team. Who is you #1 pick? He will be your franchise guy, he will be the foundation. Who do you choose? Why?

[Vic Carucci]

If I had to choose, my intentions would to go with a QB. That said, I think I would choose Portland Seal, Jay Caro. To me, he is just simply the best player in the Imperial Football League

[Cringer]

THis is kind of like the 'trade for anyone you want' thread, but I guess it is different enough to change my answer. I agree with Prick Carucci (just teasing Vic) and say Caro.

[JMO]

I pick Caro too^^ To me this would always have to be a QB.

[Jave]

Your going to START a franchise with a guy already in his 8th year in the league? No f'n way. I would pick my own player, Doyle. Rookie, rated 87. Shutdown corner. Easy decision.

Stewart Lunquidst...10 yrs ago.

Id go Caro too. he may be an 8 year vet, but QB's can last a long time.

If not a QB, id look for a young stud at DE or CB, in that order.

Brenton Palmieri!!

Seriously: Kim Cortez.

Interesting that even Hamilton's own GM would take Caro over him. I'm gonna have to look at those two more closely. Last time I checked I thought Hamilton was a good 10-15% better than Caro when all things I could think of were considered. But when so much of the IFL disagrees I gotta second guess myself and take another look.

I'd love to be an expansion team in the IFL and get to choose from the 5 extended players on each team like the Texans!

Sort of. But this is more "you are starting fresh" as opposed to "who in the league fits my system"

I would look at Singleton. A running game would help in the early stages of a franchise. A young RB is something to build around.

Crap, you seem to love Cortez. Do you have 3 1st rounders you want to give up for him?

Yes, the small difference which is why I changed from Singleton/Osborne to Caro for this one. As for your answer of Singleton though, I couldn't go there I don't think. It would really depend if I knew if I would be able to build a respectable enough line to block for a RB, I went with the assumption that I wouldn't and so the QB would be the better way to go.

I think I would go with RJ Kley. I know it's not the ideal position, but facing this guy 2 times a year gives me a special appreciation for him.

Charlie Sharp

I'd go for a CB like jave said! One day after we finish 4-12 we'll have a 80+ corner. over and under sort of thing. 3 yrs years prob...

[Hell Atlantic]

but QB's can last a long time.

i guess Dennis Collela and his 57 week injury didn't get that memo.

haha.

i guess i should change that to WHEN HEALTHY qbs can last a long time. their shelf life is much longer then a stud RB.
