Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant, and welcome back to the channel. Road to the final is here. There is a lot going on with this game today. A really big promo team, it looks like, based off of the leaks that we have for all of these clubs and these players that are chasing European glory in each of the three competitions that we will see special cards representing today. So what I want to do is take a look at Road to the Final, look at the leaks, look at the expectations for this game today. We are going to have SBC's objectives, most likely, and new packs in the store all around the Road to the Final promo. And of course, there's some content already on this game that is refreshing today, aka the 89 plus FIFA World Cup Prime Icon upgrade. We will be able to do this once more again today on Friday. I think that's going to impact the market. And of course, these brand new Road to the Final cards are going to impact the market as well. So we're going to take a look at all of that today. If you're excited for Road to the Final, hit the thumbs up on the video. And if you're new around here, hit that subscribe button. Let's start from the top because we actually know three cards that are going to be impacts today. It was EA Sports yesterday via the UEFA Champions League official Twitter page, telling us and showing us three official cards. These are the exact cards that we're going to see in game today. This is like taking leaks to the next level, dropping the cards early. But they often do this with Champions League promos anyway. First of all, we have David Alaba with a upgrade over his rule breakers card from earlier on this year. These are official stats. Again, by the way, 83 pace. Some people will look at that and say, man, that's not that big of an upgrade. We have to remember these cards are live and upgrading. So maybe EA is not giving a really big boost to Alaba because they expect Redelma Madrid to go far in the competition and this card to get many upgrades, right? That's maybe the thought process behind that. But that's a very good looking card, probably going to be pretty meta in game. Not like amazing looking, but pretty good, right? Now, Firmino, I think this might be the best card or the top kind of headlining promo card in this promo team today. 91 rated a huge boost from Firmino's 83 rated gold card up to the 91, 88 pace, 94 dribble. His card is also on the loading screen, the Brazilian with 94 dribbling. So he is going to be impacts today. And then Daniel Malin is the card for Dortmund, right? It's kind of like we look at each of these players as representing their club throughout the competition. So the Dortmund card is Malin. He looks decent, right? Not that fantastic, of course. We just had the Adiyemi. So we're like, okay, another Dortmund striker. It is what it is. But those are the three official cards that will be a part of the team today. Watch the UEFA Champions League Twitter page today, about an hour before content as well. They might be posting more cards and releasing more info there because they do that often now. Remembering this from last year as well for road to the final promos and stuff. They will tweet out some cards early from this account, potentially again today. That is a possibility. Now, we've had a lot of leaks, right? And I want to fly through these leaks because the question is, is this going to be a team one and two promos? It's two weeks long or are all of these coming into packs today? I'm kind of leaning towards the second one of those. Because as you can see, these early leaks that we had early on, say team one, you know, team one, team one, but a lot of the current leaks, they don't say team one. I actually think this is just going to be a one week promo, but like in previous years, it was going to be a lot of special cards in packs. The only SBC leak that we have right now as I'm recording this video is Musa Diaby. He could be our player, SBC leak today, could be later on in the weekend, not entirely sure. But again, we've seen this card, not that insane of an item, but it could be a lot of fun, especially if it's really cheap. Leverkusen live card, of course, they did not win yesterday, Monaco won. So that's starting off in the mud, you could say a little bit for potential upgrades. But to get to the rest of these leaks, Martinelli, right? We've seen that. Chiesa, he is the Italian on the loading screen with a 94 pace. I believe that is his card. That's a big one. We've got Kevin Volans in this team coming today. Miranda for Real Batiste.  What a game yesterday in the draw between Manu and Barcelona. So both of those teams have everything to play for in the second leg and upgrades on the line. Of course, Martial is going to be one of the cards we see today. Lamella is coming today. Nuno Menj, finally some Champions League cards, right? This is our PSG live card. I think we're a little bit disappointed with Nuno Menj, right? We are maybe wanting like Neymar, maybe Marquinhos. But Nuno Menj is a really, really nice card. And of course, a lot of people need a left back for PSG links. And of course, Nuno Menj is very overpowered in FIFA, just his gold card early in the game and his inform. But we just had the Nuno Tavares objective as well. So this one kind of hits a little bit, I guess, different after that has been released, even though that one's very expensive. I expect this card to be pretty expensive today as well, because I know PSG are down 1-0 on aggregate, but they have a great chance to still come back and potentially continue to move on through the rounds and get some upgrades for this card. That's going to be a very popular card today. Ferentores, there's your Barcelona card. Firmino, right on the loading screen, his stats are confirmed. 91 rated, five star skills forced at weak foot on his base card. That's a W card. Lucas Mora, as your Tottenham card. I'm excited about this one. And I don't know what the stats are going to be, but that could be a very meta card as well, since he is very pacey, really good dribbling, and that's a fun one I'm looking forward to today. David Alba, of course, we saw that. That's a confirmed card as well with the stats for him. Atal is the conference card that is on the loading screen right now. 94 pace for Atal. Not that massive of an upgrade from his gold card, but he's getting a promo card. He is back. Use of Atal is in this road to the final team. Moving up the list, Goretzka is our Bayern Munich card. Goretzka actually with his second live upgrading card of the year. He had the path to glory already this year, but it didn't get any upgrades. So I guess EA was like, hey, we'll give you a second chance, Goretzka. Here's another live card. So he's representing Bayern Munich, and they're chased for Champions League glory. Fofana for Chelsea. Wesley Fofana, that is. We just had Badia Schill. This one to me is one of the most underwhelming cards as a part of all the leaks that we have seen. We just had Badia Schill, and I think EA could have done better here. Aries James, a Mason Mount would have been a lot more hype, I think, to more people than a Fofana. But nonetheless, that's our Chelsea special card. And in the most recent leak that we have is Barela. This one looks pretty exciting as well. The face stats don't look that good, but it is predicted stats. All of these stats, besides what we have seen for these three cards, are predicted. So Barela may be more juice than this, but Barela is always really saucy and really, really good in game. So it's all going to come down to, A, how EA boosts these stats up today? Are these going to be cards that don't boost the stats up on very much? Because they expect some of these guys to get upgrades. Of course, with these live cards, they expect some teams to progress further than others, most likely. So will some cards not get that big of upgrades? And other ones get bigger ones, you know what I'm saying? So that's kind of the thing we really have to look out for today. And the other question I want to ask is, is this really hype? Like, I want to hear you guys' thoughts in the comments down below before we get to content today. Is this with the leaks that we are seeing right now? Is it really hype for you guys? I know a lot of people yesterday were talking about, Nate, it's just the same recycle players over and over and over. I do understand where you're coming from with that, year over year. Like, yes, we get a special Firmino card every year. Yes, we get special Koretzkas, but this is a new FIFA, right? And these guys haven't got a lot of specials this year. Firmino is getting a plus nine upgrade today, guys. Like, he's going from an 83 to a 91. That is actually pretty massive. Alaba's only got the Rulebreakers' SVC. He's finally going to have a card on the market that you can buy.  And so many other cards, like Lucas Mora, cards that have maybe had one inform earlier on this year. I think it's a decent player selection, but it really comes down to the stats today for us to really see how much EA's going to go all out with the cards in packs. I also believe that there's probably some more leaks to come. I think we are going to see more news and information because right now I think we have maybe, like, 16 or 17 leaked cards, which is a lot. And again, I really do believe this is a one-week promo because also one of the things that Footshare tweeted out yesterday is that the upgrades start this coming Friday. The, what is it, the 24th? Yeah, the 24th of Friday will be the first upgrades for, these wrote to the final card. So I would imagine that all the cards have to be out before some upgrades would come in. So that's why I think it's going to be a massive promo team today. Watch out for a few more leaks. We only have a couple of conference league cards. So I would imagine a couple of conference league cards could still be leaked as of yet. We don't have a Milan card yet as well. So like an AC Milan card, they're obviously in Champions League. There's some other clubs that don't have cards representing them yet, which could be available via SBC or objective. But I would expect to see a few more leaks today. So definitely watch out for that on this game. Now, speaking of objectives, I don't know if we are going to get an objective today. We don't have a leaked objective card player right now. And we had so many this last week with all of Future Stars Academy players. I could honestly see EA not doing an objective today, but they also could. So that's just kind of something to keep in mind for the content today. And then of course, as it always impacts the market every single week with new cards coming into packs, we always take a look at the store. What is the pack weight going to be? What special cards or what special packs are going to be available? Like is this 84 plus elite pack or like a 500K pack? Or are they going to drop anything like that with Road to the Final this weekend? It could that impact the market? It absolutely could. So that's always a question mark heading into a Friday content day is what is EA going to do there? Now, the last thing that I think we're going to learn a lot about today, and there's a lot going on with this Road to the Final with the upgrades, how those are going to work. We're waiting for a lot of information from EA Sports today, but this is something I am so curious about today. Road to the Finals rewind. And they show a lot of like flashback SBCs here. And Footstiriff says it'll be to celebrate knock out shocks and comebacks from those competitions. It sounds like it's going to be an SBC based part of this promo. I'm actually the most excited for this, I think out of everything because the potential here is fantastic. Right? Imagine a Sergio Roberto special card for the massive comeback, right? We all remember that game, right? So, you know, that sort of a potential here with this content, I think is something that I'm very excited about. So, watch out for more leaks around maybe flashback cards or moments SBCs and probably some news from EA today about this on their official webpage. That's where we're going to, like I said, figure out a lot of what is going on with this promo today on this game. So, that's kind of the content that I would expect today. Definitely still some question marks on what SBC will we get, how many players are going to be impact and the like. But watch out for some more leaks today because we could see and get some more information from those. Now, with that being said, let's talk market a little bit because how will these cards be impacting the market today? Well, of course, like any promo Friday, people will want to go out and they will want to try these cards and with a lot of cards dropping on the market today, that could mean a lot of people want to go try out a lot of different cards and especially if the pack weight is high, which I'm not expecting, pack weight usually isn't that high for road to the final cards and road to the final cards are usually pretty expensive. I mean, if you remember road to the knockouts earlier on this year, these guys were pretty expensive as well and the reason they are expensive is because they are alive and they get upgrades and people know that from the get go and that makes their prices just a little bit more inflated because of that and usually the pack weight is not that high anyways on live cards so that's just kind of how it is. I don't believe that there will be a lot of panic selling today heading into the content drop. I'm not expecting to see prices go down a lot unless we have some crazy leaks. That would be the only thing I would think that would really impact meta prices on this game today. Until we get to content, I'm not expecting a ton of movements to be completely honest, actually what we've seen recently in recent weeks is that the market is very high on Friday mornings as people are playing week in league buying cards, looking to bop it back all the way up to $855,000 coins because people are playing week in leagues trying to get the rewards, trying to get packs for the new promo and there's a pretty good team of the week again this week with Ronaldo, with Ben Yetter, you know some of those guys in that team of the week so there's demand for week in league. I doubt we will see a lot of panic today and I doubt we'll see a lot of meta card prices dropping at least before content. Now once content comes around again, it depends on the pack weight for sure but if the pack weight for the new cards today isn't that great, what else are people going to sell for and what else is going to make the market move today or is it just going to be kind of a pretty quiet promo Friday if all that it is is some new cards an OKSBC and maybe an objective right. The only thing that could also shake up the market today in my opinion is this 89 plus FIFA World Cup Prime or World Cup icon upgrade and think back to last week we had an 87 plus hero or World Cup hero player pick that refreshed as well at content and last week yeah future stars team too was cool but that SBC that refreshed last week that hero pack actually made prices drop on a decent amount of cards even some of the cards that were going out of packs right future stars from team number one these guys were going out of packs last week and their prices actually ended up dropping a little bit on most cards not all of them but on some of them some of your out of packs cards ended up dropping in price as well and especially on the Saturday if we go on the 14 day graph you can see that the Alfonso Davies last weekend on Friday was very high right Friday content drop came around and then boom he went from 360 all the way down to 325 now part of that was because people were investing in him because of the Musiala but the market dropped off a decent amount last Friday because people were going and doing that SBC because it refreshed and that was kind of like the best part of content last week if this is the best part of content this week that most people want to go out and do then I also think the market could see small dropoffs today but overall I'm not really expecting a big crash on the market I could see another drop on the market on Saturday though if it's a pretty uneventful day like we saw last week right you remember like guys like Harry Kane he dropped last week from 372,000 coins he was down at like 320 on Monday right kind of back up now it's like the three around the same price 320s right now on this market but a lot of cards are down from where they were last weekend as kind of that was kind of like a peak right cool to ball it was 580 went down to 505 now it's kind of back to like 530 to 540 so I do believe we could see a bit of a drop off this weekend but I'm not saying we're going to have like a crazy crazy crash I would just say be careful as always with cards that you're maybe holding onto investing for future stars team number two is these cards go out of packs last week there were very minimal movements on cards and very little profits on cards from team one I would imagine today is going to be just about the same you know maybe with I don't know Enzo Fernandez probably won't move with a Wesley Fofana getting dropped in the game today Musiala probably won't move that much with the Gretzka maybe a little bit Fagioli with the new left wing for Kiesa maybe he moves a little bit right but I'm not expecting to see these cards like absolutely explode today by any means on this game just because I just doesn't feel like the market right now has a lot of room to still go up right we've been talking about this for a while it seems like there's more room for the market to drop than it is to go up and that's why we're being still pretty careful with card prices but with the content being just okay over the past week and nothing super crazy to make the market move a lot of prices have stayed kind of up and it maybe even rebounded a little bit from where they were on Monday which is why I do believe road to the final also bring some more hype with the live card aspect and people will want to get these cards right away and put them in their team and hope that their player can you know there's club can go all the way to the final and get a bunch of upgrades and then go up in price so people will be looking to invest these cards from day one I personally wouldn't be buying them to invest on a day one unless something crazy happens today with pack supply but you know that could impact the market later out through this weekend but still there's a lot of gameplay demand today so I would say prices will probably maintain some pretty similar values unless there is a big shock from EA Sports now let's talk about that 89 plus pack once again let's talk about fodder just for a little bit here towards the end of the video fodder prices last week they kind of defied gravity if you will they defied the odds of what we thought they were gonna do since so few people were opening packs last week for Feature Stars Team 2 fodder actually went up after Consent as that player pick refresh for the heroes and it's kind of the same similar scenario that we have this week with the 89 plus world cup and a prime icon refreshing could fodder go up today I feel like there will be more people opening lightning rounds today for road to the final than there were last week with team 2 of Feature Stars that's just my personal opinion since it's a Champions League based promo you've got players from big clubs in here you've got some good name players it's not like an absolutely insane squad again but you know Barela Fulphana Goretzka the Firmino card Alaba being a big name like there's gonna be people that want to open packs today for sure on this game and open some lightning rounds so I'm not expecting fodder to absolutely like soar in price but I could see some prices on fodder going up a little bit at first today because this 89 plus icon did move the market last week if you remember what moved the most when it was first dropped 88's moved pretty well and so did 91's like I remember buying 91's last weekend at like 61k they went all the way to like 69,000 coins 70,000 coins so you know these guys are back down a little bit not low enough that I'm really interested in investing in them what were they yesterday at their lowest like 62k maybe then I would have bought a couple but that's something to watch out for today on this game there's a lot of fodder demand still right this 89 plus is refreshing today and then tomorrow and Saturday we're gonna get that 86 plus player pick dropping once again so I do think fodder will have some demand today but it'll also have some supply so I'm not expecting crazy movements maybe just a couple fluctuations here there and maybe a slight rise on some of it just because of people wanting to do that icon pack today now also today I think the biggest amount of pack openings that you're gonna see today on this game and I'm sure some of you guys are doing this is you're saving up some of these packs from future star swaps like I'm tempted to open an 84x20 pack maybe 85x10 I'm working on the tokens to get the 8420 the only advice I would give you is there's probably gonna be a mini release so like we say most oftentimes when you're gonna open a big pack like this if there's an SBC that you want to craft go ahead and open it but if you can wait I would definitely wait to open an 84x20 and 85x10 or anything along those lines until we get a mini release probably on Saturday or Sunday that would just give you a couple extra cards in packs to potentially get of course untradable at least give you a little bit better chance with more cards in packs that's one little tip I'll give you but a lot of people are gonna open some of those packs today just because new cards are out wrote to define all live cards and now we'll get people opening some packs today so I think it'll be a W day today hopefully the content surprises us a little bit and surpasses our expectations and hopefully these wrote to the final cards that drop on FIFA today are somewhat packable and have really good stats because I think we're all just hoping for something above average because it feels like everything we've had since team of the year has just been okay we're looking for something greater than okay today on FIFA 23 so if you're excited for wrote to the final today drop a thumbs up on the video comment down below if you do have any questions and of course subscribe if you are new it's been Nate to account I'll see you guys in the Twitch stream today peace


Just getting hot in here, please keep on over your clothes. Okay, please. And today we will be reacting, he's really musical today, to a called manto, manto, man, manto. How would you pronounce M-A-N-T-O? Manto. I thought it was three words, manto, manto, manto, manto, manto. I think it's a name. Manto! It's with... Django! It's with... What's happened? Huh? Nawazaden? Nawazaden Sadiki. Nawazaden Sadiki. And it came out last year. What came out last year? People happy prizes. Um, but, I don't know what it's about, but it has Nawaz, so that'll be good. That's cool. Here we go, let's do it! What's up, man? I've made a big mistake in my life. I'm making a big mistake. I'm making a big mistake. In your absence, there is always a special pain for women. Every woman is different. For some, she has sent herself away, but they are slowly turning around. And for some, she knows what's going on. And while she's sleeping, she has a big dream. That she'll open the door of her old house. I don't believe that it's our country's freedom. Freedom has brought you to India. When I was a kid, I used to see the dream of freedom. And now that I'm free, I don't see any dream. So tell me, I'll write so much that you won't be a lawyer. I'm not worried. Because of your writing, I'll be a lawyer. Mr. Mantu, your story is about a cold friend. This is Mr. Mantu's suspicion. On one hand, you want freedom to write. On the other hand, you also want to be responsible for a writer. No one should tell the truth. You should give it to everyone who doesn't like it. In the back, there is a story written by the king of dance, Dabu and Dohi. The land of Pakistan and India. Ladies? Looks very important, but it could be very intense. Yeah, it looks super intense. Looks great. Yeah, and it actually frame for frame, it was hearkening me back to, we did this with another film recently where, frame for frame, it reminds me a lot, and this is saying a lot, it reminds me a lot of Spielberg work. The trailer for Lincoln, the trailer for Bridges Spies, some of his more recent work that he's done that's been dramatic turns that he does, which is saying a lot, because I absolutely adore Spielberg's direction, and Sadiki, I mean, come on, and did you see there was quote, this is international attraction, my guess is this had international buzz, because you've got, they quoted the Hollywood Reporter, and obviously you saw the word important in there. Sorry, the film is about a biographical account. Yeah. Sorry, I thought you were going to go ahead. Word for word, we're just going back and forth. The film is a biographical account of writer Sadat Hassan Manto's life, and it's in 1940's India. Okay, so that tells exactly. Like it doesn't really tell us anything. So I'm guessing he writes certain things, and they don't know if they want him to write that kind of stuff? Yeah. Or something of that ilk? Yeah. One of the lines that just really jumped out at me was the quintessential, what seems to be, artist and the wife who is not an artist, and him saying one day our words are going to help us not starve, and she said your words are what are making us starve. Yeah. Yeah. Most artists can relate to it, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. And this was directed by Nada, how do you pronounce that name? It's a female. Nandidas. Nandia? Nandida. Yeah, Nandida Das. And we haven't reacted to any of her stuff. She also acts as well, and she writes. Did she write and direct this as well? Yes, she wrote it and directed it. Must be a deep passion project for her. And then obviously has Nawazid in it. Of course. How much of Nawazid's work have you guys seen? I know he's a familiar face to you now. I've seen like in trailers, but I don't think you've actually seen Nawazid in them. Do like a full film. One of the best actors. Period. Period. Yeah, we don't... Not just Indian. There's that question a lot, like favorite Indian films and favorite Indian actors, which I get. I truly get that because I understand it, because it is and should be a standalone. Like Hollywood is a standalone. Each country should have their standalone. But in the larger picture of the art form. Oh yeah, he could act alongside Denny Lewis and match him. There's, I could rattle off 10 names of actors and actresses in India cinema that we've seen. I could rattle off probably 20 names instantly that would hold their own against any actor on earth. And this guy wouldn't just hold his own. You've said it many times. He's the Gary Oldman of Indian cinema that we've seen. 100%. And we haven't seen all of his work yet. No, we've seen very little of his work. No, he's brilliant. Yeah. It was released in India in May of last year, but this year in March here. Yeah, interesting. Oh yeah. Interesting. So it got international buzz, and then had a release here. Was released here in March. March 5th was released in the United States. That's weird. They usually release at the same time. We missed it. They missed the release. Well, we also missed that, because I didn't see that at the land layer and see Me Valley. It was probably like Lucifer. I know. But it probably went to one theater like Lucifer did. Maybe. Which bugs me so much. Yeah, we live in LA. If you can't find it in LA, you're not even going to find it anywhere. Yeah, I mean even here in LA guys, the foreign films you would think here where the academy is located and where the Oscars take place, you can't find the foreign films. You have to search them out. I mean we know because we've done it for years. And then forget if you're trying to get into the short films and the animated shorts. Oh yeah. I mean that's just, unless you're a member of the academy or you pay attention like we do, you're not going to find them. Yeah. Like great Indian film. Like all these people we're having our eyes open to. It just boggles the mind. Well, let us know how it is. If it is worth a watch.


This video ends when I pull off the perfect season, 20 and 0. And the team I'm selecting for this rebuild is the Carolina Panthers. I think the Chiefs of the Cowboys would have been a little too overpowered, but I wasn't prepared for Cardinals level difficulty. Let's take a look at the team that will one day be undefeated. The cornerstone of this team is rookie Bryce Young. Bryce Young is awesome because he starts out as a superstar, so he's gonna progress really, really fast. Not to mention he has 87 speed and 89 acceleration. You can't teach quarterbacks how to be fast. He's pretty much gonna have those stats forever. That's awesome. Those stats really aren't even that bad. A guy that I'm instantly thinking about trading though is Adam Thieland. Our goal is to go 20 and 0. It's not gonna happen in the first or second or probably third year. So a 33 year old wide receiver is just, it's just not the guy. Not to mention that Bryce Young is gonna develop as well as we want him to. We're gonna need to get him a legitimate wide receiver one. We do have Jonathan Mingo. Loki, he's kind of mid. 90 speed, 92 acceleration. Yeah, he's Star Davi. Yeah, he's 6'2", but kind of want to get him somebody better. Taylor Moten is older, but a very solid right tackle. I'm gonna hang on to him. He's got the captain patch, man. Not trading a captain. I said that out loud. Adam Thieland is also a captain. I lied. I will be trading a captain. The brightest spot of this O-line though is Ikea Kwanu. Superstar left tackle. He's already 79 overall. I imagine he'll be a 90 plus when we go 20 and 0. Defense has some really nice pieces too. Brian Burns is historically a franchise God. He's 25. He's Superstar. He's very fast. I imagine he'll hit Superstar X Factor. I know he's gonna have some awesome seasons. We also have Derek Brown, also 25 years old. 84 overall, gonna progress very well. Got Dante Jackson at corner. He's 27, so he's not getting much better, but super fast. 95 speed, 94 acceleration. Jeremy Chin, one of my all-time favorites. He's listed as a safety in that in 23, but he was moved to cornerback in 24. Big corner, 63 to 20 pound corner. Von Bell is a stud. Not sure how I feel about that beard right there, but it's a little slow, a little old. We'll see if he makes it to the undefeated squad and at free safety, we have Xavier Woods. Defense feels more stacked than offense, no doubt, but it's still not that good. The very first thing I'm doing is finding a wide receiver one who Bryce Young can develop with. And my target right now is Brandon Ayuk. 49ers have so many weapons. I'm hoping they'll part ways with him. Brandon Ayuk is also a monster in franchise. On paper, he doesn't seem like he would develop that well, but I have played so many franchises where Brandon Ayuk becomes a 99 overall superstar X-factor. And I want a juicy slice of that cake. God, that sounded so sus. Let's see if we can trade Adam Thielen in a 2026 round four for Ayuk. This is an egregious low ball, but you guys taught me well. And honestly, we're way closer than I feel like we should be. So I like offering my 2026 picks. I imagine we'll be pretty solid by 2026. So here's a round four and a round three and Adam Thielen very close. I'll hand off a 2025 round six as well. So close. I think this is the moneymaker here, an absolute haul of picks in the 2026 NFL draft. A round four and 2025. Oh my God, are you kidding? And we finally got her to go through Adam Thielen and my 2026 second and third round pick for Brandon Ayuk. So when 2026 rolls around, we won't have the capital that we want, but I have to imagine it's not going to matter too much to this squad. Brandon Ayuk moves to wide receiver one in the depth chart. Jonathan Mingo is wide receiver two and LaVisca Chanel is wide receiver three. And I got to remember to put Brandon Ayuk as my slot wide receiver. Super important for simulated stats and franchise. Thank you guys for all the help on these rebuilds. For anyone new to franchise, your simulated stats are heavily correlated to your offensive and defensive playbooks. Personally, I think this is very silly, but Dallas and Kansas City are very good for your quarterback. This is why Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes always win MVP on top of obviously being good, but we're going to give Bryce Young Dallas offensive playbook and defensive. I'm going to stick with Carolina. I've never tried it and I want to try it now. Listen, we made the only important move I wanted to make and that was getting Bryce Young a stud wide receiver. He's got Brandon Ayuk. Hopefully season one is solid, but not too solid. I'd like to tank a little bit for a good draft pick. Let's get after it, boys. After two weeks of NFL football, we're 0-2. It's actually pretty cool. I would like to tank for a nice draft pick right now, but I don't want my players to play so poorly that they're frustrated. I will be using auto-generated rookies and I've edited the draft class strength to be strong for every single position. Now, this does mean that my opponents around the league will also be drafting better players. I think the auto-generated rookies are kind of mid on average, so this should be fun. Now it's time to take a look at the draft class and see what we're going to want. I imagine we'll be drafting in the top 10. There's a few quarterbacks and offensive linemen, but I would definitely like to pick up something defensive. There's a few stud linebackers up here, Clyde Allen and Greg Bigsby. We got Taj Thorpe, a left end, Sergio Hicks, a corner. Now, my thought process is Bryce Young and Ayuk are going to develop very well no matter what I do. And free agency tends to have really good offensive line options. I don't feel like burning a first round pick on, you know, Gregory Turner or Taj Nash, who conveniently are the same guy. The Madden needs some new facecans. Can we please, please get some new facecans? I'm setting my focus scouting for Iris Foster to outside linebackers. Would love to have good info on the outside linebackers. And after that, I want info on the corners. Andy Rooker, our three-star scout, has a 25% efficiency boost on corners. And in week eight, we get to choose that focus scouting and I'm going to make it corners. So hopefully we have a good idea on what the corners and the linebackers look like in this draft. You might be asking why I'm choosing linebackers. I truly believe it's important to double down on your strengths rather than trying to build an overall average team. For example, you look at this D line. It's pretty mid. I mean, Derek Brown's nice. So yeah, I could go detacular left end, but I think I'm just going to get an average guy in free agency. But as far as trying to draft a monster, I would love to pair Brian Burns with a freak show linebacker. And then as far as corners go, I just think it's really important to draft a good corner. I just think it's important to draft a good corner. You can find monster corners in the draft. And I feel like I don't see amazing corners in free agency very often. The other thing too is I can move Jeremy Chin back to safety. I can move Jerry Chin to free safety and try and pick up a good corner. That's the strategy, boys. We're sim in the mid season. If the Panthers want to be 0-7 at mid season, I don't even mind, man. The Panthers are usually a decent sim team though. I don't imagine we're actually going to be winless. At the halfway mark, we are three and three. We are at the front of the NFC South.  If I make the playoffs, if I make the playoffs, the NFC South is straight up poverty. That is a joke. My national focus scouting will be on corners. I would do linebackers, but my three-star scout does not have linebackers in his expertise. We're headed all the way up to the playoffs, baby. Let's get it. I'm excited to see how Bryce Young, Brandon Iuk, Hayden Hurst, Levisca Chanel, Jonathan Mingo did. Bills are the one seed in the AFC and Cowboys are the one seed in the NFC. The Bears are the four seed. How did that happen? Here's a quick evaluation of the movement and a quick overview of the movement on the draft boards. Gerald McKnight out of North Carolina has shot up the boards. A scrambler quarterback left outside linebacker Clyde Allen. That's a guy that I've been looking at grabbing myself. The only problem is I'm seven and 10. I'm not going to have this high of a pick. I could trade up if he looks that generational, but here's the thing. Clyde Allen has good-looking stats. You know, some A's and B's in there. His physicals are not great. Solid good on everything. Actually, then decent side, he doesn't have a single great physical and physicals are super important. I'm 95% on this dude Sergio Hicks. This dude looks like a monster. But once again, I don't know if he's going to be there for me. Great to elite Excel. I think what's most impressive is his skills. This guy is a 75 overall or better. There's no question. A tackle, A zone, A press, A awareness, B block shed, B catching as a corner. Most likely the best corner in the draft. My favorite linebacker is this dude Cameron Harrison. So he's got a minus two rank change. He's in the ballpark of where my draft pick is going to be. But I most liked his physicals. Great to elite speed. Good to great strength, solid to good acceleration. It's better than that top five pick linebacker. That's for sure. And then his skills aren't bad too. A to C block shedding, A to C awareness, B finesse moves, A to C power moves. Also, his Archetype is exactly what I'm looking for. He is a power rusher outside linebacker. Brian Burns is a speed rusher. So the idea is, yeah, Brian Burns come off one edge and you got Cam Harrison coming off the other and you've got a very, very scary duo. Plus Derek Brown down there. Greg Bigsby is the linebacker above him. I mean, this dude doesn't have a single physical that's in elite range. I don't like that. Also his skills are worse than Cameron. Also his skills are all like on average significantly worse. He has one A in here and that's pursuit maybe. I don't know, he's just not the guy. I think Sergio Hicks and Cameron Harrison are my two favorites right now. Take a look at this monster in the second round though. Also a corner. This is Marcel Sutton, a zone corner out of Tennessee. Skills are all average. A lot of B's in here. There's an A in zone coverage, which is really nice for corners. Look at this dude's physicals. Great to elite speed. Great to elite strength. Good, great acceleration. His jumping is not great. His agility is not great. But I don't know, I like this dude. I like this dude in the second round and his rank has gone up seven since week one. So I'm gonna put him as a favorite as well. See if he's available when I'm drafting in the second round. Oh my God. Dude, Dallas Cowboys playbook OP. Bryce Young finishes seventh in MVP voting as a rookie. That is so massive for him. That is so massive. That's huge. Brandon IU gets sixth in offensive player year voting. So I'm certain now that Brandon IU got a very good year. Bryce Young does not get offensive rookie of the year though. He got outdone by B'shoun Robinson. That's a bummer. Bryce Young passed for 4,400 passing yards fifth in the NFL. 31 touchdowns. It's these insanely good. That's an insanely good first year. Miles Sanders eclipsed 1,000 yards on the ground with five touchdowns. Trouble Hubbard also got four. Nice. Bryce Young had two. Brandon IU. Oh my God. Whoa. LaVisca Chennault two. Jesus. Brandon IU got 1,300 yards and 11 touchdowns. Chennault 1,207. Jonathan Mingo. I expected him to have a little more than this, but that's okay. It's not a really good season. It doesn't look like we use our tight end too much in this playbook. I was kind of thinking about picking up a really good tight end, but when I see these stats, I think I'm just going to stick to the strategy I'm doing right now. And defensively, Shaq Thompson had one and a half sacks. 127 tackles. Derek Brown had seven and a half. LuVu had four and a half. Brian Byrds had six and a half. Now, Frankie LuVu is actually the guy I'd replace if I do draft one of these outside linebackers. And that's honestly really good news because LuVu is getting 12 TFLs and four and a half sacks and Frankie LuVu is not good. He's normal dev, no abilities, average stats. So we get in a monster in there and I think you double those stats. Very exciting year one, honestly. Bryce Young fifth in the league and passing yards. There is no way. Oh my God. Dude, he didn't even win unless somehow he won Offensive Rookie of the Year. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Bryce Young is a superstar. X-Factor in year one. Wait a minute. I need to see the league history. Did he actually win Offensive Rookie of the Year? Somehow he outvoted. Oh my God. Okay. So big shocker. What did I tell you guys? Chiefs and Cowboys, right? Chiefs and Cowboys, Super Bowl. Chiefs win. Mahomes wins MVP. Bracey Rice wins Offensive Rookie of the Year. Defense of Rookie of the Year is Drew Sanders. I have never seen that combo before in a sim and Bryce Young went from superstar to superstar X-Factor based solely off of his incredible season. Damn. I mean, he did have 4,500 passing yards and a 31 to 12 ratio, but this is way more than I expected. We're into free agency right now and my targets are guards. My guards are pitiful on this team. Why is Austin Corbett so deep in the depth chart? What? Okay, my guards are nowhere near as pitiful as I thought. I have no idea why he was that deep. So in free agency, we do need to pick up a right guard. LaVisca Chanel did not want to resign with the Panthers as well. So Mingo is not wide receiver too and Terrace Marshall is wide receiver 3. I'm honestly cool with that.  Oh my God.  Not to mention Ayuk. Now the least surprising thing to me is Ayuk. I know Ayuk is a franchise God. It's already a 90 overall slot receiver. He's got abilities himself. He went up to a superstar from star. Damn. That's amazing. Did I get the same luck on defense? No changes in dev traits on defense. That's okay. Left end. So we either draft to left end or we pick one up in free agency right now. Obviously we need another detacle as well as those guys have vacated. Gosh, we really have a lot of good corners though. I honestly think what I do is I need to move Jeremy Chin to free safety. I don't like that the Panthers moved him to a corner back. He's a safety to me. Think we move Jeremy Chin back to free safety and then we draft a corner. Mike Williams is available in free agency but there's just no reason. We also don't have that much cap room, 15 million cap room. We can basically make one big signing and that's it. At right guard, I'm going to pick up Graham Glasgow. Absolutely nothing impressive at all but he's a 73 overall right guard. Our team needs somebody. Give him a pretty solid deal here. Left end Bryce Huff is available. Pretty expensive. I barely have the cap space for this. So we'll see if he takes this offer but I'm going to give him a player friendly low risk three year deal. He's only 26. This is a nice free agent option. So Graham Glasgow does sign with the Panthers but Bryce Huff did not take our deal. So right now we still have a serious deficit at defensive line. I'll probably end up using a third or fourth round pick on some D linemen then. I'll end up using a third, fourth or fifth pick on a D linemen but I just don't have those positions scouted. My target place to draft is anywhere between 10 and 14. Now unfortunately the Carolina Panthers do not have their own first round pick. So if I want to secure one of my guys I need around one pick. Texans have round one pick five and they're actually pretty interested in Dante Jackson. I'm cool giving up Dante Jackson because I plan on drafting a really good corner here and I have two good options. I also have round four pick 110 and round five pick 152. Let's start by low balling Dante Jackson and round four pick 110. They are not interested. I'll give up my 2025 third rounder. Would they do it for this? We're getting there. I am so close. With Dante Jackson, Frankie Louvue and my third round pick in 2025. I'm dangerously close. Give them one of my fifth rounders in 24. We're right there. This is diabolical levels of trading. Dante Jackson, Frankie Louvue a fifth, a third, a fourth and a fifth scattered across the next three years for the fifth overall pick. Ooh. Now one thing to note is Sergio Hicks the corner that we were looking at has already gone. Now we have to remember we did just trade away Frankie Louvue and Dante Jackson. I want to replace both of them with younger, better players who will develop even more than they could have. So that is a lot of pressure on Cameron Harrison but Cameron Harrison is still my favorite linebacker. Elite speed, great strength, good Excel, solid agility, his skills. I see a good amount of A's in the skills. He appears to be the best linebacker available. Clyde Allen is technically higher on the board. A top five projection.  I just can't justify it. Honestly, his skills aren't that good either. Maybe Clyde Allen is like a superstar X factor or something. That's the only way I could really justify that. I think Cameron Harrison is a safer selection. My pick is Cameron Harrison hitting them. 88 speed. Oh, this guy's a monster. Yo. Cameron Harrison is a short power rusher, six foot two, but he's 268 pounds. He's 21. I left the other LSU with 88 speed, 87 Excel. Damn, this dude's a beast. So he's guaranteed to be star dev too. We'll have to see on his overall, but Cameron Harrison, that's our pick. I love it. My next pick is round two pick 14, which honestly scares me because the guy that I want the most is Marcel Sutton. And he's like, he 100% could get picked off before I have an opportunity to get it. Round two pick 14. I really don't think Marcel Sutton is going to be available. I couldn't trade it up for him, but I feel like we've made so many trades already. I just got to kind of take the L here. I don't think Marcel Sutton is available. He's not. That's sad, man. I really wanted him. We'll see how good he was. Trayvon Whitaker is available with great speed, solid acceleration, elite agility. I don't hate Trayvon Whitaker, the six three zone corner out of UCF. Look at this dude, Allen Burst though. Jesus. Look at this dude. He's got A's in everything. He's a right tackle. Dude, I'm not going to lie. Taylor Moten is eating up so much cap space on this team. I could free up a lot of cap if I picked up this dude and offloaded Taylor Moten. Dude, Taylor Moten's cost me like 30 mil and we're negative cap right now. I'm actually going to take Allen Burst. I'm just scared he's normal Dev. Allen Burst. Shit. He is, he is normal Dev. That's okay. I imagine he's a high overall right tackle. Take our whiff there. Darn it. That would have been nice if he's hidden Dev. Allen Dorsey has good speed, elite jumping, elite acceleration. Heh. He has D to F awareness and F zone coverage and F tackle. But he has A catching. This is a weird corner. What is going on with this dude? Allen Dorsey. I'm going to take a risk on this goofball here. We did trade away Dante Jackson. Damn. Honestly, it's very good stats, but also normal Dev. 91 speed, 94 Excel, 87 agility. That's too normal. That's not my best draft. My fourth round pick will be a left then. I'm going to take Kyle Machete, Machete, Machete. He's 63, 319.   No way. Doug, I finally get a hidden Dev. He's in the fourth round, but we desperately needed a left.  At least he's hidden Dev, right? And I'm going to let my computer make the rest of these picks overall, I'm going to rate this draft probably a four out of 10. Still got to see the draft recap, but I was hoping to get Marcel Sutton. I would have had to have taken him with that round one pick instead of Cameron and think I had to take Cameron there. Let's take a look at the draft recap. This is who this is a big part. It's a big part. Okay. Cameron Harrison 74 overall is not as high as I would have hoped, but at the linebacker position, it makes sense. Alan Burris was a bad pick. I got so excited seeing that good looking of a right tackle that I got a little blinded. That was probably not the right call, but Cameron Harrison 88 speed, 87 Excel. This dude will definitely be a monster. Now I don't know what your guys opinion is on this, but I actually am going to look at the Dev trait. Cause sometimes when I see him, I don't know if they were actually the Dev trait that unlocked or if they earned it. I don't really understand how that works. So we're praying that Cameron Harrison is a superstar. That would actually kind of save this draft. Come on, boys. Yeah. Oh, that saved us. Oh, let's go. Let's go. All right. Cameron Harrison is a superstar. Oh, that's huge because Alan Burris and Alan Dorsey were just trash.  Alan Dorsey is a 68 overall. This is a horrible pick. Kyle Maheti, Kyle Majetti, the hidden Dev left end, 65. I assume he's star. I'm going to check because I checked the last guy I got to check him to. He is star. So he's star Dev.  Computer picked me up a free safety normal Dev out of Kansas state, as well as a D tackle 63 overall normal Dev out of South Carolina. Let's see the entire draft class. The very first pick right tag was a 79 overall. I Sergio Hicks got taken third. I would have had to have traded up to round one pick three and he's an 81 over. He's probably the best player in the draft. Oh, I knew he was a monster. 94 speed 95 Excel. I think the next most depressing thing I'm going to see is when I see Marcel Sutton. When I see Marcel Sutton. So here's where we took Cameron Harrison. The other linebackers taken under us were worse. Significantly worse. Clyde Allen and Kevin Best were no better. Cameron Harrison is definitely the best linebacker in the draft. So I'm happy with that. Well, maybe not. Max Blakely looks solid. A lot of 74 is in 73s now. So the rest of this is not impressing me. I don't have FOMO about any of these. Where did Marcel Sutton get taken? That's what's going to bother me. He's a 77 overall with 96 speed. Oh my God. I knew five. I did all the scouting properly, but I didn't have the picks to make it happen.   Hidden Dev 96 speed 93 acceleration. God, he's a monster. It's all right, boys. Hey, the goal is to go 20 and 0. We're not going to have a perfect draft every time. We just got to make do with the roster that we have. And let's keep building, boys. We do have a superstar X Factor 22 year old and that's Bryce Young. So I'm still all right. Start of season two. We've got our auto-generated prospects here, hoping that I can have a better draft in 2025. Certainly hoping to have a better draft this time around. Looks like this class is pretty rounded on all positions as it's supposed to be. I have strong on every position. For scouts, I'm hiring Rande Barber. I whiffed on corners, but I want to try again in this draft class. So we're going to hire him and for my two-star scout, I'm going to work on my offensive line. We'll grab Sheila Thornton. Here's how the roster looks right now. The rookie Cameron Harrison, pretty much the only good part of our draft, really struggled in that draft, unfortunately, but there's nothing we can do but look forward and have a good year this year. We're actually off to a super hot start. We're five and two and the Saints are 0 and 7. We're both 83 overall though. So I like being five and two, but I'm such a tank advocate. I want to tank every single season to get the best draft picks just to whiff on them and get all normal devs sick. Dude, what? We played absurdly well. I mean, I do like my roster, but I don't like my roster 12 and 5. It just doesn't seem like a 12 and 5 roster to me. I'm almost mad. This is the opposite of thanking. Let's see how everybody progressed. Bryce Young's a God. Bryce Young is a 90 overall already. I think I made the right call to the Panthers. So Panthers progressed really well in franchise. He's 23 Superstar X Factor 90 overall. Like he's already at 99 short, 98 medium. Dude's got five abilities. Good God, Bryce Young. IUX up to a 93 mile. Sanders has been playing great. Offensive line looks the same. Hayden Hearst don't care. He can walk in for agency for all I care. He's eating up 10 mil. Cameron Harrison, baby. How has Cameron Harrison done this year? He's up to a 79 overall. I will say though, so he's plus five overall up and he has no morale right now. So that's a little bit concerning. Kind of hoping he's going to get defensive rookie of the year. But based on no morale boost, kind of makes me think he doesn't get it. Corners are playing great looking good there. Bryce Young fourth in the league and passing yards this year. We fell in the MVP voting though. He was like sixth last year. He's ninth this year. I suppose we're winning more games. So he's passing less. It's my theory. Miles Sanders gets fourth in offensive player of the year voting. Shaq Thompson gets third in defensive player of the year voting. Offensive rookie of the year is Dexter Newbury for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Defensive rookie of the year. Dude, my bum corner Alan Dorsey got third. Cameron Harrison got 10th. I must not be utilizing Cameron Harrison properly. Oh, I'm such a casual. I know why Cameron Harrison isn't being used properly. Guys, you know why Brian Burns gets great stats? I need to talk about this. Brian Burns gets great stats because Brian Burns is my rush left end. My rush right end right now is D dot Johnson. I forgot to move Cameron Harrison up in the depth chart. Oh, dude, I bounced it for him. I am struggling on this rebuild. It's like we're 12 and five. I don't really care. But now that Cameron Harrison has moved in the depth chart, he's going to have a much better sophomore year. All right, boys. Hey, you live and you learn, gentlemen. You're not always going to rebuild perfect every time. Despite what the YouTube comments think, I will not rebuild perfect every time. Miles Sanders with an elusive backup. Hey, Miles Sanders is getting real good. Wearing his break tackle juke and spin. Derek Brown also becoming an absolute threat. He's my rush detackle. So technically he's right end, but in most sets, he's rushing from detackle when Brian Burns is coming on the edge. I'm going to swim to the Super Bowl. I just feel like there's no way I actually make it to the Super Bowl, right? The Super Bowl 59 is Jets versus Falcons. Oh, my God. So Bryce Young another amazing year. A better touchdown interception ratio.  Fantasy monster. Fantasy football monster. Not to mention his 25 receptions and a touchdown on the ground. So if you're playing PPR, Brandon Iuk another 1,200 yard season 10 touchdowns. Terrace Marshall, 1,000 yard season. Mingo another 905 touchdown season. So I'm noticing in this offense, the wide receiver three is actually outperforming the wide receiver two. Terrace Marshall is my wide receiver three. Mingo is my wide receiver two. Jets win the Super Bowl. Sauce Gardner is Super Bowl MVP. Going into free agency. We have 70 million in cap space. So we finally have solved that issue. This is for a few reasons, but most importantly, dude, we've made some mistakes in this rebuild, but one mistake we did not make was drain for Brandon Iuk. Brandon Iuk is already a superstar X Factor. We now have a crazy duo of a superstar X Factor quarterback with our superstar X Factor wide receiver one. Terrace Marshall walks in free agency. Hayden Hurst is gone. That's amazing. We were overpaying like crazy on him. JC Horn is upgraded to a superstar. That's crazy. So JC Horn is developing really, really well too, but sad news. Shaq Thompson is gone too. We still technically can resign him in free agency here, but let's see what kind of moves we can make in free agency. Let's see who's available. Amari Cooper is a superstar X Factor. He's available. I just don't need him to replace Shaq Thompson. I'm going to grab Jerome Baker.  So he's got a good, you know, three or four years left in him. He already wants to play for us. I don't like risking it. You guys tell me to offer those neutral deals. I don't know.  I'm going to take Jerome Baker on a hefty deal here. Hopefully we can lock him in a linebacker. I do need a safety since we don't have Xavier Woods and Julian Love is normal Dev, but he's really not looking for too much money and he's already pretty interested in being a Panther. I'll soften his deal a little bit. Give him a four year offer and we'll see if he signs. Harrison Bunker, dude. He's actually a dog. I would love to pick up Harrison Bunker. I want him for two years. Stay with us for two years, Harrison. Dude, Fletcher Cox. Fletcher Cox. His overall has gone down significantly, but he's still superstar. Dude, do you think he'd stay for two years? Not this year, but the next year, I could see us potentially actually being ready to win 20 and 0. And holy shit, if we had a superstar detackle, even if he's old, I'm just scared he might retire, but I'm going to see if we can get him. That's all I'm going to do in free agency. I'm hanging on to this 36 million cat for next year and for obviously the rookies that we're about to get. Let's see who signed. The last thing I'd like to do is I actually want to trade Taylor Moten. So Taylor Moten is 31, 85 overall star. I did with on Allen Burst a little bit, but he's still young and 74 overall. I think he's good enough to become a starter. Also, look at the cat pit on Taylor Moten.  I'm not trying to get a draft pick out of him and it looks like the New England Patriots are willing to give up their 2025 second round pick for Taylor Moten. I'm actually really excited about that. Unload some cat space, grab a second round pick, hopefully have an awesome draft this time around. It's time for the NFL draft. Our very first pick is round one pick 24. The first guy that jumps out to me is the corner George Mullins. Last draft we moved on a corner. George Mullins has elite speed, elite jumping and elite change of direction. Not to mention a good amount of A's in the skills category. His injury is DF. I turned injuries off in franchise.  So this could be our guy. Round one pick 24 goes to George Mullins. The hidden dev, six to 95 speed.   Our next pick is the Patriots pick. Patriots round two pick is super high. Round two pick three. So this is what we turned a Taylor Moten into.  Now I specifically scouted in tier offensive line for this reason. The best center available is Connor Atkinson. Center is the worst part of my offensive line right now of a 73 overall normal dev center. Look at this monster. Connor Atkinson. So great Excel, elite agility, great change of direction, great speed, elite strength. So really the most important thing there is elite strength for a center, but he's also fast. His skills are off the charts. This is kind of like Alan Burst. Like this dude's normal dev. That's the only thing, but I scouted him like he, he just, I'm pretty sure he's that good. Taylor moden has turned into yes, the hidden dev USC center. Connor Atkinson 82 acceleration really fast for a center. 93 strength is monster out the gates. I'm hoping this dude's at least the 75 overall. If he's a 74 75 money pick right there. Connor Atkinson. My next pick is not till round five because we did trade away a lot of this draft. I'm just going to send to the end of this draft. We have two hidden dev players in around one and around two picks. We got a corner and a center. All that's left is to see how we did not to mention, I didn't even have Cameron Harrison at rush right end. So I goofed that last season and we freed up a ton of cap space this year. So oh, we're ready to go 20. No, not this year, but the year after when I signed free agents, the big moment of truth. The draft ring. Yeah, we got some monsters.  CPU took me a dog shoe.  Derek Brian, but I don't imagine he'll get much use.  Listen, I already kind of like broke the seal on this. You know, the flooding has began. So I'm going to look at the dev trades on the boys.  This is the second time in my life I've ever drafted a superstar X Factor. The first time I ever did it was in my Texans rebuild and I haven't done it since. Dude, whoa, round two pick three. There no way, right? I don't even know what I would have done. Oh dude, he's number 69. This game just knows. All right, let's see the entire draft class. There's no way I whiffed because I got two just dominant studs, but let's see the entire draft class. Highest overall play in the draft is an 83 overall left guard here. Okay, I'm starting to think something happened here. That first draft class was so weak and the second one is so strong but I had the same settings for both. I'm starting to think that that first draft class even though I adjusted the draft class strength too strong I don't think it updated. Maybe it's because I was already in week one or something but this looks more like what a strong draft class would look like. So my picks were good picks but that's because this is actually a very, very strong draft class.  All right, let's, let's sort by the pick. First pick 82. Michael Duke out of Michigan was a bust. Larson 77, Macintosh in 80. Barry Staley in 81. Lot of 73s. This was just a sore spot in the draft right here. 12, 13, 14 and 15 and 16 and 17. 18 was Sidney Williams. NDSU corner 81 overall. Tons of good corners in this. And then there's our pick. George Mullins made a very good pick. Although I'm not going to lie, the only other guy I was looking at was Russ Jeffrey and Russ Jeffrey was in 80. But a 90 speed and he's a strong safety so I didn't really want him. We just drafted a Superstar X Factor corner.  Trading Dante Jackson isn't such a big deal anymore. This newest draft class has two instant impact starters. Connor Atkinson and Superstar X Factor George Mullins. Free agency got us Julian Love as well as Fletcher Cox. Cameron Harrison is ready for a big year. We signed Jerome Baker to replace Shaq Thompson and Alan Burse is our new starting right tackle. So we traded Taylor Moten and we got Connor Atkinson. That's an amazing trade because Moten's 31. Atkinson's 21 and Atkinson's damn near his overall already. We just need Alan Burse to progress well at right tackle. That's pretty important. But it's time to play boys. Three and four at midseason. Granted we went 12 and five. So we have a more difficult schedule but we don't like being three and four. Let's see how we close this year out. I'll be honest. I feel like I want to go 20 and 0 next year.  Brandon I Uke's almost going to be a 99. We've developed the rookies that we can and we still have cap room because if I go too far in the future we're not going to be able to pay Bryce Young and Brandon I Uke and Cameron and Atkinson and George Mullins and JC Horn and Brian Burns. She's not going to be possible.  We just got to let's see how we finished out this year though. I'm open for at least a winning record. We started out week but we end out strong 12 and 5. God damn. George Mullins is an A6 overall. This guy is a freak show bro. He's a freak show. I'm giving him a slot upgrade. George Mullins was born to play football awareness man coverage and press with that 96 speed 93 Excel 93 jump dog. Okay. Let's take a look at the lineup real quick at the end of this year. Bryce Young is a 99. Brandon I Uke is a 99. Ikea Kwanu 89 burst it almost exactly what I wanted him to. He's up to a 78 with morale. Atkinson's up to an 83 with morale. Corbin's still good.  So here's what I do. I need to trade draft picks. I need to get a right guard. I need to get a better tight end because Tommy Tremblain it should probably get another really good wide receiver for Bryce Young because I Uke's good mingles good. But let's get a third guy in there and then defensively Mullins dog. Butcher Cox actually that was a good pick up free agency probably pick up a new left end. This is a little weak here. Harrison's up to an 84. Julian loves doing good burns is a 95. JC Horne's a 91. And my third string corner is amazing. So we trade for a left end. We trade for a right guard. We trade for a tight end. We trade for a wide receiver that or we sign them in free agency. I'll probably take a look at free agency before I do anything drastic. I mean this is amazing. Here's the thing though. Like I actually don't care what happens in this wild card. It literally doesn't matter to me. My goal is not to win the Super Bowl. My goal is to go undefeated. So whether we make the Super Bowl or not I really don't care. Super Bowl 60. Oh, big shocker everyone. It's between the Dallas Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs yearly awards that Mullins win defensive rookie of the year.  Oh, that's brutal offensive player of the year. Fourth is Bryce Young. Fifth is IU offensive rookie of the year goes to Markel Hills defensive rookie of the year.  George Mullins gets second. Damn. I guess it doesn't really matter because if you're like getting defensive of rookie of the year gives you a dev trade upgrade and George Mullins is Superstar X factor. So whatever. Chiefs win the Super Bowl, big shocker. Everyone's so shocked. Do I need to get a tight end? Tommy Trembel went up to start it. My backup tight end is Alan Burris. That's not right. Probably need a real backup tight end there. Von Bell is the only player to walk in free agency but the incredible thing that I want you guys to see is my cap space. We are 100% going to be able to do this. Like I truly believe this season we will go 20, you know, 127 million cap space and I'm trading away everything I got. First though, we need to look at the best possible free agents. That's the most important thing but Tonio is available. Derek Stingley is available. That's almost like overkill. We have such good corners. Why do we take Derek Stingley? We don't Travis Kelsey.   You're in free agency. I'm going to offer him a massive two year deal. I don't need him for like there's no point in giving him a three year deal.  He's an 85 overall. He's 36. I can't even believe he's still in the league. He usually retires. He already has a lot of interest in the team making him a massive offer. There's no way Travis Kelsey turns that down. Sorry, Tommy Trumbull. Okay, great start. Probably take Grady Jarrett here and move him to left end. That's probably a good call. Two year deal once again. Just take a pretty hefty cap hit this year. It's a pretty strong offer. I imagine he takes that. I wouldn't mind tier tart either. Oh, he's expensive.  I need a safety. I need to replace Von Bell. I don't even have to replace Von Bell. I could just resize him.  You don't even want that big of a contract. Why'd you walk in the first place? I don't need to be offering this much at all but we're going to go 20 and 0 and then we'll go 0 and 17 for the rest of human history. I don't care. Could pick up Brandon Schurf at right guard who still has Superstar. Give him a nice one year deal. Oh yeah, Brandon Schurf. We want you buddy. We want you buddy. What's the wide receiver free agency market look like? Or is this going to be a trade thing? Yeah, wide receiver free agency market pitiful. Nico Collins the best option at normal death. Just not going to happen. Dude look at this. There is a Superstar 22 year old 75 year old at 97 speed in free agency. He doesn't even want that much money. Okay, I'm just going to pick him up for shits and gigs. I don't even imagine I'll use him. What? What are you doing in free agency? Paul McKinney. After free agency you're looking at one of the most loaded franchises and we haven't even traded away every single graphic yet. Offensively we have three Superstar X factors in Bryce Young, Brandon Ayuk and Travis Kelsey. We have three superstars in Ikea, Kwanu, Brandon, Schurf and the free agent Paul McKinney. What's this guy doing in free agency? You played a year in the league. 97 speed 98 acceleration is kind of disgustingly good. For what? I don't know. Defensively five superstars. Fetcher Cox, Brian Burns, Cam Harrison, Vaughn Bell, JC Horne and one Superstar X factor in George Mullins. Now I do want to beef this team up though and I got to trade for something to beef it up. So what are we looking for? I think getting myself a monster free safety would be huge. I think we could grab an even more monstrous half back than Miles Sanders. We could technically grab ourselves an even better right tackle, but it's funny. It's almost like, what do I do? What am I trading for right now? I wouldn't even mind like a Miles Garrett like an insane edge rusher would be nice. Miles Garrett is old, but oh my God, man. I mean, Miles, like how do you not? I feel like a guy like Miles Garrett is how we win the Super Bowl right now. Miles Garrett, Miles Garrett is a 98 overall boosted in 99 with Morrell. He's 30 though. So I actually think the Browns might move him for me. 90 absurd stats. Yeah, he's 30. Like this is possible to me. Who's my current right end? I think it's Derek Brown, but my current left end. So I have the young Kyle Majetti to get rid of because he's not getting any reps. Especially when Miles Garrett comes in. What about draft picks and my round one pick 28? There's no way I could get Miles Garrett for this cheap, right? Even though he's 30. Okay. They're going to need a lot more for this, but that's fine. Give him round four, pick six, pick seven. Bunch of random picks for Miles Garrett. We're close. We're actually close already. I'm going to offer up my 2028 round two. I'm going to give him a 2028 round three as well. We're really knocking on the door. 2027 round four. This has got to be it. This has got to be it right here.  Blockbuster trade inbound. My fourth round pick left end. A first, a second, another second, a third and a fourth for the 30 year old Miles Garrett. This is actually like probably a good trade for the Browns. They got so many picks out of an aging player, but I'm going to get a 20-0 season. So the other thing I do got to remember to do, I got to make sure that Miles Garrett is my rush right end. Sorry. Cameron Harrison is going back to a standard linebacker rule. Miles Garrett's got to be flying off the edge. This is honestly a massive signing because now we can move Grady Jarrett to detackle one. Pleasure Cox to detackle two. Miles Garrett is left end. Derek Brown is right end. Insane linebackers. I think my safety's still scare me, but that's it. Julian Love. Let's get an ability here. Let's get somebody monstrous here. Same a right tackle. I think that's just a little too weak for a 20-0 roster. We might want another wide receiver too. Keenan Allen is superstar. X Factor, 86 overall. Rashawn Slater is a 93. I wonder if I can get a bundle deal off the chargers right here. I'm going to offer up Allen Burse, my young right tackle. I'm going to offer up Paul McKinney. I don't know what he was doing in free agency, but now he's just trade bait and a round one pick. Let's see what this does for us.  Aggregiously close already. Oh, we're getting this. Let's give him the 20-26 round four. We're so close. Give him the round six, two. Now we give him the round seven and call it a day, baby. Boom! Allen Burse, Paul McKinney. A 20-27 first round, a fourth, fifth, and a sixth for an old-ass Keenan Allen and a 93 overall Rashawn Slater.  I feel like the Rams, bro. Trading dollar picks. Signing everybody. We're going for the bull. Going to make Rashawn Slater a right tackle. I don't really know if that matters. Ayuk is wide receiver one. Allen is wide receiver two. Jonathan Mingo, wide receiver three. Keep in mind my wide receiver three gets a lot of reps, but Jonathan Mingo is actually really good too. So I'm just going to leave this as it is. A lot of reps. And then defensively, it's just getting a free safety. And then I think it's game time. Like it's a we go 20 and 0 or we're going to have a lot of problems next year. Who's the best free safety in the league, huh? Go big or go home, right? This is what we got Capspace for. Minka Fitzpatrick. He's got one year left with the Steelers. He's 29 years old. They were negative cap before this too. So they actually kind of need him. I couldn't. I couldn't poach him for just a first rounder, right? Not even close. Not even close to being close.  What does that do? What if I offered you a bunch of seventh and six rounders? Doesn't really do much, does it? Okay. We're about three and four. Those are big picks. Those are high picks. Minka is going to be hard to move. This is not as easy as I thought it was going to be. All right, Minka's not possible. Minka's too good to get. So we're going to have to go someone worse. Here's an option I do like Jalen Petrie. Jalen Petrie, number one dog. He's super star. He's 85 on us. It's certainly an upgrade. I overpaid for him. I definitely overpaid for him. Love, I got in free agency, but I didn't need to give up the first round for that. I was a mistake. Can't say I'm mad about this mistake though. So Jalen Petrie's in my entire defense has no normal devs. No normal devs on defense. Also the same on offense. We actually have too many super star X factors on offense. You ever seen that problem before?  I still have a bunch of like six and seventh round picks to trade, but to be honest with you boys, I don't, I don't see what I could do. I really don't. This team is loaded to the brim. If we don't go 20 and 0 with this team, we're not going 20 and 0. Let's put it out what is. Let's go gentlemen. It's time we ride. I'm going to simulate the entire draft because like literally what does it matter? How did the draft go? Got a 73 overall wide receiver in the sixth round. It's actually kind of impressive.     You're about to win a bowl, buddy. You're about to go 20 and 0. Super star on the bench doing nothing. Many Elam, bro. What? Oh, okay. That's insane. Take a look at the whole draft class. The very first pick was a whiff by the Cardinals. Tough. Kyle Cruz, Q Conrad, 82 quarterback. Followed up by an 82 D tackle. Very strong draft. 283s right here. Whitting, Taylor Paul, 80 overall Darius Leather. Highest overall in the class was the 83s. Then 282s and 81 and 80. A second round, 80 overall strong safety. A third round, 79 overall corner. Brown's got a snag right there. Third round, 78 overall corner again. A seventh round, 77 overall wide receiver. A lot of steals at the 77 overall spot. All right, gentlemen, this Panthers roster is ready to go 20 and 0. We fully sold out. We have no draft picks left. We could never possibly afford to re-sign most of these players, pay them again. So it's go big or go home. The good news is throughout the year our young guys will still develop and our old guys won't regress. It's like Ikea Kwanu, Atkinsinch Slater, Bryce Young Ayuk, Miles Sanders, Tommy Trembel, and then defensively Brian Burns, Petrie Harrison, JC Horne, George Mullins. All these guys should actually get better come playoffs. I know we're making the playoffs, but literally one loss and this whole thing is botched. The whole thing's botched. Very first game is against the Atlanta Falcons. We're an 88 overall, 89 offense, 87 defense. They're an 87 overall. This is the most anxiety I've ever had clicking a sim button. I'm going to click advanced week symptom in season, bro. We either see seven and oh, or we just like, I mean, like, like, yes, I can continue into year two, but dude, this is the year one out of year two. We could continue into year five, but I fully sold out. I did everything. Dude, if I'm like six and one and I lost some poverty game to a poverty franchise, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on four. Come on, Panthers. Come on, Panthers. We're a third of the way there. We're a little less than a third of the way there. We're six and oh, we're six and oh at the mid mark. Oh, and our next game is the Browns.  This is huge. Somebody got a new ability. Cameron Harrison got a new ability. Cameron Harrison up to an 86 overall. Great work stud. Halfway through the season. Is there anything different on the lineup? I can't imagine. Now everything looks about the same. Defensively. Yeah. Look the same. Brandon IU gets an upgrade up to a 97 overall boosted to a 99 of course with Amaral awareness carrying short route spin move checking in with IU after all these seasons 93 speed five Excel great catching catching traffic short medium deep seem to play offs. I'm doing it. I don't even want to look. I literally I actually don't want to look. I'm not good. I'm not gonna. I'm going to look the other way for a little bit and then when I ring when I get the courage, I'm going to look back. Please, please, please, please, please, please. Ah, we are so close. Oh, we are so close.  This is the greatest hurdle to jump. I think I think going 17 and oh is probably harder than just winning the wild card. Well, we get a buy. I feel like this is it's the first hurdle. The second hurdle is divisional NFC and Super Bowl, which will obviously be the other best teams.  I mean that's what happens when you sell out your entire squad. I suppose Bryce Young is almost so maxed out that I can't even give him upgrades. It'll only let me do a scrambler upgrade. That was super weird. Ball carrier vision plus four break sack and plus one throw on the run. Bryce Young is God. This is why you go 17 and oh 90 throw part 99 deep 99 medium 99 short 99 awareness.  He actually has gotten plus two speed upgrades over his years too. He's now 89 speed 89 Excel George Mullins. I'd be a 94 overall. This guy, man. What is an unbelievable pickup in the draft to generational talent? I think for my first time ever, I think I just got MVP. I have never done a sim where I got MVP. Look at Bryce Young stats. This is off the charts. Insane 4,800 passing yards 404 for 519 49 touchdowns for interceptions.  Miles Sanders. I tried to trade you. I'm sorry. No more 24 touchdown seasons for you though. 300 times 1200 yards 11 touchdowns. I you a thousand three hundred and 11 Keenan Allen a thousand one hundred and ten mingo a thousand and fourteen. That is three receivers who all would have dominated your fantasy football lineup and they're all in the same damn tea Travis Kelsey averaged exactly 10 yards per catch seven receiving touchdowns and Miles Sanders still put in five on the ground.  Miles Garrett, what a pickup. Miles Garrett at 18 and a half sacks on 21 TFLs. Brian Burns at 16 on 10 TFLs. Cam Harrison 10 TFLs on seven sacks. Derek Brown with 12 as a team. We what we sacked we have 55 56 sacks on the season also seven and a half out of grades. You're probably 60. It's disgusting.  How many times we sacked quarterbacks three or four sacks a game.  This is the first time I've ever personally seen it. Bryce Young wins league MVP. All right boys. A spectacular season. We have to close this out though. So the wildcards of by that doesn't really matter or doesn't matter at all really the divisional is against the Minnesota Vikings. We have the overall advantage on them a better defense and a better offense were also 17 other nine and eight. Maybe the NFC North was really strong because that's a weird record there to make it to the divisional. I'll take a look at the playoff bracket. So the Vikings were the seven seed and they beat the two seed Giants. That's actually like good news for me because I'm playing a seven seed here and then it's three seed bears versus the five seed Eagles.  No Kansas City Chiefs. No Dallas Cowboys. That's so weird. Do those are honestly the two teams I was most worried about. So this is like this is a Cinderella. This is like the best case scenario for us right now. We also get some upgrade players like how did brand I you just get an upgrade on a bye week. Probably oh you know it is probably from the awards whatever the awards are he might have got offensive player the year now that I think about it. But I don't know he's up to a 98 overall now divisional playoff baby. Let's go 90 overall Carolina Panthers with Bryce Young, Miles Garrett and IU taking on the Minnesota Vikings with Justin Jefferson, Daniel Hunter and Derek Stingley starting this game out. It is 7 to 0. I think Miles Sanders put that in 14 to 3. I don't think the Vikings really stand a chance. Oh, oh, oh never mind. Oh my God the Vikings do stand a chance 14 to 7 21 to 17. I think we're marching 28 to 17 23 28. We could close out the divisional with a solid drive here. This wasn't too much of a nail biter. There goes Miles Sanders a powerful run. Time up from the Vikings. A couple more first ounces over. I think we're just going to keep going Miles Sanders. There's a little motion. Tommy Trembl in the backfield.  They call another timeout. They still have the two minute warning to lean on. Bryce Young is going to drop back throw a dot. This game is over. Who's that to that was to mingo Jonathan mingo makes that catch and pretty much just iced up the divisional here. He got single coverage. They still have the two minute warning. This is not fully over two minute warning. And a timeout going to go to Miles. Dude, we're running the ball so well. That's the two minute warning second and one. I think Miles Sanders just pushes this over. It's GGs. They're going to need to send a big blitz. No, sir. You're not stopping. Oh, we go with a counter run right there. It was a questionable play call. Please run it. Please run inside zone. Please do not try and pass this. Oh, no. Throw a laser, Bryce. Dude. Bryce Jones is going to get sacked. That might be out of field goal range. I was horrible play calling. Bro, you just run the ball stay in field goal range. Now, luckily I did sign Harrison Bucker in our second year free agency. I imagine Harrison Bucker can make this kick. Wow. That was just just a bad play call. Try now Harrison Bucker for a 52 yarder in the division. Oh, he's got to hit this man. We burn as much clock as we can. Bucker's got a cannon on him and he absolutely drills that field goal. That makes me feel a lot better. So now it's an eight point lead and the Vikings have no timeout. So worst case scenario here is a kick return, but we are all over it. They get out to the 23 and out comes Hills. The Vikings quarterback Hills. It is not Kirko bands. Not anymore anyway. They got to pass the whole time. I'm hoping they just make short completions just like that. Yeah, that's perfect. You can do that all the way down the field if you want because you're going to run out of clock here. 23 31 another one. That was actually a pretty nice completion. We're going to pick up some solid yards there. 30 sec. Dude, they're actually marching. Wait a minute. Check down. Oh, get home. Is that Miles Garrett? I don't know who that was, but we got home right there. He's going to throw a check down. Hawkinson does not get out of bounds. That's ball game. It's a ball game. Hey, let's go. The divisional is a W. We beat the Falcons. I wouldn't say easily, but Bryson 28 for 28. Three touchdowns. No interceptions. One from them. Miles Sanders a monster game on the ground with a touchdown before broken tackles. It was all Keenan Allen through the air after that was Jordan Addison. And the brand I was 5 or 72 with two touchdowns and yeah, defensively. There were so many players with sacks. DJ Johnson. How are you getting a sack? DJ Johnson. When are you coming in? Grady Jarrett got a sack. Derek Brown got a sack. Miles Garrett got a sack. I don't know what set DJ Johnson is coming in. But hey, good for him. He got a sack, right? That is a dub against the Vikings that takes us to the NFC championship where we're taking on the Philadelphia Eagles. We do have some upgrade players here. One goes to Jalen Petrie. Love Jalen Petrie. Awareness pursuit and tackling Jalen Petrie. Nice upgrade. Not too concerned about the rest of those upgrades ahead of this Eagles game. I want to take a look at their roster. Philadelphia Eagles have a 99 A.J. Brown, DeAndre Swift, Jalen Hertz and Devonta Smith. Then there's a bit of a drop up to Hassan, Reddick, Dallas Goddard joined my Lada. Josh Sweatt, Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Jake Elliott, Bradbury, Reblankenship. Their best generated players, wide receiver Glenn Fisher. We're so close to 20-0. We got to get past the Philadelphia Eagles. This game starts out with a Panthers and an Eagles touchdown. Still 7-7. Panthers are back on the board. Eagles are back on the board. Panthers are back on the board. Eagles are, oh, Eagles only a field goal there. 24-21. Wait a minute. Two minutes, 20 seconds left. We're in the red zone down three. Let's go Panthers. Let's go Panthers. Check down, check down, check down. You see him. Oh, throws deep over the middle. He's 26 for 32 to Keenan Allen. Reblankenship breaks it up. We got a little double stack formation. Miles Sanders behind Bryce Young. He's blocking. We heave it to the boundary. That's Keenan Allen, but only four yards, just making this a more manageable third down here. That's the two-minute warning. It's 24-21 in the NFC Championship. Dude, this is too close. I don't like this. Bryce Young drops back. Lee's touchstone. I think that went to Jonathan Mingo too. Dude, Jonathan Mingo having a historic run in the playoffs right now. He keeps getting open. Look, that's a scary ball, dude. Bradbury could have picked that off. Now the good news, Harrison Bucker makes this. It's a four-point lead. The bad news is Philadelphia has all three timeouts and a minute 57. So one strong drive and they just win this NFC Championship. We got to keep them out of the end zone. Field goal does them no good though. So it's touchdown or bust. Look at the return man, 52. I don't know who 52 is, but he's playing his heart out on kick return. He made the tackle in the divisional too. 99 overall, Jalen Hertz in the backfield. It's first and 10. Oh, and guess who gets through? It's a fumble. Wait, so if that's a fumble, then the ball's live right now. How did he just catch the fumble and never get tackled? Miles Garrett flies through though. The Miles Garrett acquisition has been insane. He's been so good. It looks like it's maybe a screenplay, a very good play from the Eagles right there. Stepping up big time is Jalen Petrie. 3rd and 11 Eagles use a timeout. This is a great defensive drive so far. There's an exclamation. Oh, good pass rush. Galen Hertz and Dallas Goddard do not connect. He was rolling out, but they don't connect. 4th and 11, they got to go for this. This is the game. This is the NFC Championship right here. Come on, pass rush. I got all these monsters for a reason. A double team on Miles Garrett. Unloaded, it's not home. It's not home. No two minute warning to save them. That's a turnover. Bryce Young's trot. Now we're not quite in victory formation because two timeouts. Yeah, we're not quite in victory formation here. Just going to hand it off to Miles Sanders. Oh, it's a read option. It is a psychopath play to call. Bryce, you're going to fumble.  Coach is a dog. 3rd and 3rd will milk most of our clock here.  You threw the ball.  My coach is a psycho. Brandon Iukas 13 receptions for 184 yards and now we're in victory formation. 28 to 24. Vegas had the line at 51 and a half. We just barely eclipsed it. Huge win. Two minutes left. We're down 24-21. Mingo puts a touchdown in and defense holds. Nick Sirianni can't believe it. He thought this was his year. Bryce Young had 342 passing yards. 29 for 35. Jayla Harris really didn't in 13 for 24. He must have had some massive throws. Only 13 completions with 286 yards. Miles Sanders wasn't as effective on the ground but neither was Deandre Swift. It was the Brandon Iukes show 13 for 184. Mingo, like he's really not even getting that many looks. He just keeps getting in the end zone. AJ Brown is 4 for 112. Devin Duvernay was 2 for 106. Geez. And defensively, Miles Garrett continues to have been an excellent acquisition. Two sacks in the biggest game of our lives. There is one game between us and a 20-0 record. There is one game between us and a 20-0 record. We do have some players to upgrade.  It's all of our, like, best players. Bryce Young is going to get another scrambler upgrade. Or will it let me do strong arm? Yeah, it won't let me do strong arm. I've never seen this before. Not enough skill points to purchase this bucket. Scrambler, I guess, is allowed. Two breaks at carrying injury and throw on the run. Bryce Young is insane. Brian Burns with another upgrade here. It's all speed rusher for him. Brian Burns' agility, awareness, power moves, pursuit, strength, and zone coverage. Get a little upgrade for Miles Sanders as well. Going to hand him elusive back. Take him up to a 94 overall. He gets a speed upgrade. That's awesome. So Miles Sanders goes to 92 speed. Cam Harrison's going to walk into the Super Bowl. An 89 overall. Technically a 90 overall. Cam Harrison, 89 speed, 92 excel. Such a fast linebacker with power moves. So good. Our Super Bowl is against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati Bengals came into the playoffs, the three seed. They beat the Bills. That's Panthers versus Bengals in the Super Bowl. The Bengals roster, Joe Burrow, 99. Higgins, 99. Jamar Chase, 99. Then there's a drop off to Chidobia Wujie, Trey Hendrickson, Evan McPherson, Taylor Britt, Joe Mixon. You know, on paper, the Eagles were better. On paper, the Eagles were definitely better. So we'll see if this is as big of a fight. 92 offense and 87 defense to our 92 offense, 89 defense. We got the overall advantage on them. Here we go, boys. The last game between us and a 20-0 season. We are 19 wins, zero losses. We just got to take the dub right here, boys. What a weird Super Bowl. We ever going to see this in real life? Panthers, Bengals? It's not out of the question, man. Maybe four years from now in real life, just like it is here in this simulation, actually. Kicking this Super Bowl off. It is seven to zero early for the Panthers. Bengals respond with a field goal and a touchdown. And another touchdown. Panthers stay in it with a touchdown. It's 21. Let's go. Oh, that got a little scary. And we've got the ball. 21 to 17 in the fourth quarter. Let's watch the boys close this out. Stay strong. Miles Sanders with a run. Excellent blocking. He's going to sniff arm a man. Let's go, Miles Sanders. I'm sorry I ever threatened to trade you, Miles. I apologize. It was an accident. It wasn't my idea. It was someone else's first and 10. I think we're going to see a lot more run place here. Let's see just how good this offensive line is. Run right up the gut. Miles Sanders turned nothing into something. I'll take that second and six. It's going to take us all the way to the two minute warning. The Bengals are floundering right now. Bengals have three timeouts just like last game. If we can pick up a few first towns, we can put the Super Bowl away. Miles Sanders with a hurdle. Miles Sanders forces an early Bengals timeout. Oh my God. Are we actually going to run the ball down their throats until it's game over? I'd be so shocked. Weak side run diabolical. Another Bengals timeout. Dude, are the Panthers really going to do them like this? No. Oh, okay. Good play. Good play right there. I think that was maybe DJ Reader. Second and eight. I'm not sure who made the play, but for the first time they stuffed the run, we go to the edge. Miles Sanders, oh, huge play from Shinobi Awujie. That was massive. He took on the block from Tommy Trimble and made the tackle. The clock is ticking, but we can't end it right now. Third and four, are we passing? Dude, what is coach as a psycho? Coach wants it all and the pass is broken up. Jonathan Mingo can't hang on to it, coach.  Greedy. Hey, listen, it worked in the NFC Championship though. Harrison Butcher. I was never worried that he was going to miss that. Harrison Butcher has been lights out. Damn, somebody got flattened though. Harrison Butcher drills it. This game is no longer safe though. 24 to 17 with 59 seconds left. We have to hold the Bengals. First play out Joe Burrow rifles to an open man, but they are in bounds. That's huge for us as he's spiking this. He's not, that looked like a spike formation. Brian Burns.  Good work. George Mullins, the dog was in coverage. It's second and 10, 35 seconds left. No timeouts. Bengals need a touchdown, but they are approaching the 50 yard line. Like, Joe Burrow's in hell right now and that's in bounds. Oh, what a genius drop by the running back. I thought that he caught that, but it was considered a pass breakup. So now it's third and 10. Third and 10, Joe Burrow rifles one in. That one is caught. That clock is ticking, man. You got to spike that ball. This is so crazy. Dude, to call a play here is so weird to me. He's going to, I thought he was going to get sacked. He almost walked himself into a sack. George Mullins in coverage. Don't throw his way. The final play of the Super Bowl to go 20 and 0. Joe Burrow, second and 10, six seconds. Bengals need a miracle. No pass rush. He heaves deep. In the shades of Carolina blue, George Mullins, Miles Garrett, Bryce Young, Brandon Ayuk are Super Bowl champions. Oh my God. Jaylin Petrie's up there. Don't forget about him. Don't forget about Brandon Schurf in that offensive line. Let Miles Sanders go to work. JC Horne, you know, there's not too many Panthers players that even got this ring. What, Bryce Young, Miles Sanders, JC Horne got it. Mingo got it. What a game. Harrison Bucker, huge field goal. And then it was all defense after that. Miles Sanders cook on that on that last drive for us though. Massive drive. The Super Bowl of 24 to 17 goes to the Carolina Panthers. Bryce Young, three touchdowns and an interception. Joe Burrow, 253 yards, two touchdowns. Miles Sanders, 15 attempts, 81 yards. Great job. 5.4 yards per carry in the Super Bowl. Bryce Young even got a little shifty and so did Joe Burrow, same stat line. Keenan Allen, dude. What a good acquisition Keenan Allen was. Didn't really expect him to be a huge impact, but he and all these playoff games is our biggest receiver. Six receptions, 75 yards and two touchdowns. Ayuk had won 5 for 44. Kelsey, 5 for 60. Mingo, 5 for 88. Unbelievable. We dominated the stat sheet. And defensively, it was Brian Burns in the Super Bowl who made the biggest impact. 1.5 sacks. Von Bell had half a sack. Miles Garrett never got home and only three tackles, no TFLs. But hey, he got us there because Miles Garrett was huge in the NFC championship. The 20 and 0 season is complete. We went 17-0 in the regular season. We won the divisional. We won the NFC championship. And of course, you just saw it there. We won the Super Bowl. It got real close in those playoffs, but we hung on. The 20-26 season recap. Super Bowl MVP, Bryce Young. NFL regular season MVP, Bryce Young. Coach of the year was Frank Reich, an offensive player of the year. Wow, it was Devo Samuel. Now there's only one thing left to do. Let's sim into the future and see if this dynasty holds up. I have a feeling this dynasty does not hold up because we're broke. We have no draft picks for the next three years. And there's no way we can pay any of these guys and half of them are about to retire. But there is like, you got to remember Brandon Ayuk is young and insanely good. Bryce Young is insanely good. I feel like 99 Bryce Young can kind of carry a lot of like mediocre players. So George Mullins is young X-Factory. So I'm going to let this sim for 30 minutes and I'll come back and see what's good. The year is 2030. We're still 10 and seven. So we actually still have a pretty good roster here. Let me see what the lineup looks like. How many players do we lose? We still got Bryce Young. We still got Ayuk. We still got Travis, dude. Travis Kelsey's a 74 overall, but he's still playing. We got Jay Dot Lucas. Looks like we drafted a superstar right tackle. Aquano's a 97. Rashawn's a 95. Mingo's a 93. And on defense, Brian Burns is an X-Factor. Miles Garrett's still sticking around and a super high overall at that. George Mullins is a hard 99. JC Horne's a 97. And Petrie's a 91. We actually left this team in quite good hands. It's not as decimated as you might think it would be. We are 10 and 7 right now. What's the league history? So last Super Bowl was Chiefs Seahawks. The year before that was Seattle Seahawks Bengals. Wow, the Bengals went back to back years and lost both of them. 2027 was Seahawks Ravens. Wow, so we never went back. We never went back. Justin Fields won MVP this year. Yeah, we really were a one hit wonder, I guess. Bryce Young is leading the league in passing yards, though. I mean, we're in the wildcard plan right now. We technically could win a Super Bowl in this year. I'm just going to full sim these. We have a breakout delignment for Jonathan Odom. Okay. We win the wildcard. Do we win the divisional? We're playing the 14 and 3 Seattle Seahawks. We lost the division. Damn. So we did all of that, but the dynasty to come out of this was the Seattle Seahawks. They built a fucking, oh my God, whoa. So they go to the Super Bowl the year after we win it and they lose and then they win it again and then they win it again and then they win it again. Dak Prescott is on the Seattle Seahawks. Dude, what? I'm trying to be like damn, bro. That should be my next challenge. Win the Super Bowl three years in a row. How did they do that? They have 99 Kenneth Walker, 99 Charles Cross, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Ross McNeil right end. Super star X factor, Edward Oliver, 99 D Tackle, Tariq Wollin, 98 DK Mech, 97. Oh my God, this team's insane. Look at their draft picks. They're insane. All right, boys. Okay. That is it. We went 20 and 0. You know, the Panthers are still doing all right three years later. So I'm proud of us. Hey, I love you guys. Thanks for watching as always. And of course I will see you in the next rebuild. Peace out.
