Matt P – I feel your frustration. As far as Madden goes, the best bet would be to sim the first full season and draft QB, OL early in the next year’s draft. I might even create a QB and make him an 87 overall just to make playing — excuse the pun — bearable!

“Re-signed Brown.”

As in Ruben Brown? It’s good to know that at the ripe old age of 108, he can still make a contribution…

I do like the Rex-pick-Lloyd trade for Vince, though. Now, load up on wide receivers in the draft: third to fourth round guys are always potentially diamonds in the rough. And remember, the Bears don’t need guys with speed as much as they need guys with awareness, hands, and height.

BTW, you’re wife rocks!

Well, my wife surprised me last night for our anniversary with an 360 and Madden ’09. So I’ve fired Angelo and dived into management myself. Traded Rex, next years #1 pick, and Lloyd to Tennessee for Vince Young (hey, if the Pats for Moss for a 4th, and the Jets got Favre for a 4th, this isn’t unthinkable!). Scanned the free agent pool for lineman. Grim. Re-signed Brown. Signed Naeole. No much else out there. Still hunting for some WR help (Booker really CAN’T be the starter, can he?)

How horrible. I feel a 3-13, 4-12 season coming on. Hard to believe this franchise went to the Superbowl just 17 months ago. And now the team looks poised to battle for the #1 pick in the draft next year. Ugh…

So what’s the strategy in a Madden franchise? Mortgage the future by bundling some players and picks for a QB and a RB? The season will be brutal enough to watch. The least I can do is rid the Bears of Grossman in the virtual Chicago universe…

Yea bears passing is really no fun because Grossman turns it over. I did find that throwing to the TE’s Clark or Olsen are good weapons though. Forte is a monster as well. I just get scared he might fumble because he’s a rookie.

Oops, when you are watching the Bears games I meant of course.
