I can't see the boxscore because I played it on Quick Play, but I just beat a team 101-38 and Troy Aikman threw for 904 yards and 13 TDs.

Nick Foles 791 yds, 11 td
Josh Cribbs 356 yds, 7 td
I think I know his favorite target!Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

I made it to Legends in football 2014 and decided that I wasn't going to use any coins until I unlocked the 4-coin guys. So I went through ten seasons of mostly getting smoked after having been good all the way until Legends.
I bought Mark Gastineau, Richard Sherman, and a center, and in my first game with them, I gave up 381 yards to Christine Michael on 22 rushes (17.3 average). Ugh. However I won 89-10, because Steve Bono did this for him:
3 rushes for 6 yards
74 dropbacks:
* 20 completions for 165 yards, 0 TD
* 3 completions where the receiver fumbled
* 25 incompletions
* 19 sacks
* 7 interceptionsIn the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

my strategy with Legends in football has been:
- initially buy a few 3-coiners to be competitive
- as you stay competitive (usually that means getting to a point where you level up then level down day after day), collect the coins but don't use the coins in the era that start to gather quicker.
- buy legends in the other eras that you're collecting less quickly.
In football, I used 3 coins on a QB (Aikman) & a WR (Bullet Bob Hayes), and then bought a CB, T, DE and DT. I did train up a non-legend LB who's now in the 500s and seems to win tackles in most leagues.

I have six leagues to go to get access to the 9-coiners, and have 7 Free Agent era coins, 6 Expansion era coins, and 2 wild card coins. I hope I land one more Expansion era coin to get a choice from Seaver, Morgan, Bench, Mays, Aaron, FRobinson, Gibson or Koufax. The 9-coin Free Agent era players are Schmidt, Brett, Ripken, Henderson, Clemens, Carlton & Eck. Not as thrilled with that bunch as the one from the Expansion era.

Just had a league game in football where my opponent's QB (Mark Brunell) went all of 2-for-3 for 34 yards.
Once you guys get to the Legends level, don't go for Aikman as your QB -- in this game, dude's an INT machine. He has 2,047 INTs in 1,407 games for me.

heh. I was just coming to post my own quarterback beating.
from my league game, my opponent's Joe Theismann had 11 dropbacks:
1 completion in 4 attempts for 3 yards
1 scramble for 34 yards
2 interceptions
4 sacks
(also this confirmed that interceptions and sacks aren't counted in pass attempts; I figured sacks weren't but didn't realize picks aren't either)In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

So I'll have a decision to make on Tuesday, as the 9-coin legends finally get unlocked. I currently have 7 Expansion era coins, 7 Free Agent era coins and 2 Wild Card coins, so I'm planning on adding a 9-coin legend and a 7-coin legend.
Expansion 7 Coin Legends
Clemente
McCovey
Carew
Killebrew
Palmer
Marichal
Expansion 9-Coin Legends
Bench
Morgan
Mays
Aaron
FRobinson
Gibson
Seaver
Koufax
Free Agent 7-Coin Legends
Ryan
Fingers
Perry
Gossage
RJackson
Molitor
Yount
Boggs
Free Agent 9-Coin Legends
Ripken
Brett
Schmidt
Henderson
Eckersley
Clemens
Carlton
My immediate replacement needs are SS & 3B and one of my starting pitching slots. My secondary replacement needs are OF, 2B, DH and 2 other starting pitchers, who would slide into the bullpen.
I have 5 Pre War coins, so I'd like to save those for either Ruth or Gehrig. I have 3 Integration era coins, and a 9-coin Banks is a SS in this game. So basically, if I don't replace my SS (Uribe, who has 760 HRs but is hitting just .225 and I long since stopped training him up) with Ripken or Yount, I might as well just replace him with a 3-coiner or wait for Banks. And I'd rather not use 7 or 9 coins on a SS right now.
So I'm thinking I get Ryan with 7 coins or Brett/Schmidt with 9 coins, but man -- I'd love to get Koufax. I could pair up Koufax & Ryan to add to Saberhagen and Waddell, which would also shore up my bullpen. Or I could go with Mays/Aaron/FRobinson with Ryan, but my 2 OFers who are non-legends (Cargo & Garry Maddox) are still productive.
What would you dudes do?

What would you dudes do?Bob- I'm not exactly sure it would ROCK as you say it Byron.. it may be cool, by typical text book descriptions. Your opinion of this is shallow and poorly constructed, but allow me to re-craft your initial thought into something tangable.
