exciting new football sim

First off how can you not include Willie Parker on there? I understand AD was injured and he caught up, but then again so was Willie for the last couple weeks. Willie has been a top 5 rusher the last 2 seasons. How can you put a rookie on there who has no offensive line? Just bc AD did what he did (behind a freaking solid O-line in Minnesota) does not mean DMC is going to run behind Robert Gallery? Addai will not win, he is in a passer friendly offense and there are too many other good runners ahead of him in the NFL. I'm not saying WP will win, but you have to at least include him ahead of some of those guys. Plus Pittsburgh's O-line will be better than people think. Kemoaetu is no Faneca, but he will surprise people. Hartwig will be a better center than Mahan and Zeirlein has had a year to coach most of these guys and get the new blocking schemes implemented. Look for Mendenhall to help Willie out giving him then a change of pace with a bruising power back similar to Bettis (albeit not the size, but much better speed).

I think its a safe bet that Peterson is the favorite, Addai will lose some carries to receptions, Parker will split some of his time to the rookie this year, Barber as well. I think LT will still do well, but he will finally start to look human this year. My dark horse candidate is Gore, not just because I am a niners guy, but because if and this is a huge friggin if, Martz can get the passing game going, Gore might face less than 8 in the box for the first time in his career. I am very interested to see him in anything resembling a balanced offense, he may just push to the top of the class.
