Quote:8) It’s always important to look forward to the future. Examine your team, and in 400 words or more, talk about how they can improve themselves to get a stab at trophy contention next year. Are you loaded with draft capital for the next draft? Do you have plenty of cap space to sign free agents? Go through the roster and note the different strengths and weaknesses, and how you think those will change over the next few seasons. How should your team adapt?
For this task I will be looking at the Honolulu Hahalua squad who impressively just missed out on playoffs with a 8-8 record in a tough conference while starting a rookie quarterback. The position I would like to look at will be the quarterback himself. Luke Skywalker comes off a solid rookie season in which he was very effecient in his way of playing. Quarterbacks always take some time to mature and settle in, but as Skywalker keeps growing he will be a part of the elite quarterbacks soon enough. Linked to quarterbacks are the receivers. Jed Podolak will be hitting a big 1K tpe milestone soon and will be the big man for Honolulu. He will be the #1 receiver, while Alexander and Clay will be behind in to offer their support. Especially Alexander will be looking to solidfy himself as a #2 WR. Keʻokeʻo Kāne-Maikaʻi has proven to be very versitile as an all purpose back and can do it all. He will be supporting #1 rusher Ayers who just came off an offensive rookie of the year season.
Jim Waters and Ray-Ray Jackson are cornerstones for the Hahalua defense and after being robbed of awards Waters will be looking to bring a big preformance next season. After losing young and upcoming LB Banks in the expansion draft and Arienlacher due to bs, Heinrich Kackpoo has become the lone pillar of the linebackers. After losing Buck, but with Lavigne coming into the team safety is covered. Dawkins is an established safety in the NSFL, Lavigne is going to have to prove to be ready at the top level. Montain and Bane Kaʻanāʻanā remain as the teams only players on the defensive line. After losing Kearse in the expansion draft and Noble Jr. due to bs once more.
Their special teams is loaded with Venus Powers, back to back award winner and the best kicker in the league. Kicker is no concern for the Hahalua as they have theirs locked up for a long time.
The already established players on the team are growing and getting better, but as they lose some supporting players in key roles. So looking what they need to improve is bringing in two people for the defensive line and a players who can bring power to the linebackers. This can be done either in the upcoming NSFL draft or if any hit free agentcy, through that. It will be interesting to see if the Hahalua can keep improving and make their first playoffs this next season.
Quote:9) Pick any position, and determine who in your view is the greatest player to ever suit up at that position. Why do you view them as the GOAT? What achievements, records, accolades, or statistics do they hold? How do they stack up against the other legends in their position, and why does your chosen candidate come out on top?
I am going to reach far down the history of the league for this one, but this player is the one player who will always come to my mind when I think of as the best in their respective position. Coming off playing as a quarterback myself and experiencing the position myself, I think this is the best position to write about.
My choice for the all time greatest player to suit up at quarterback is non other than Mike Boss. Boss was one of the very first players to see their name put into the Hall of Fame. Seeing his name added in the second ever induction of the hall of fame. Mike Boss is a quarterback from the very first season when he joined a 6 team league which already had around 10 QB prospects. He would be drafted to the Orange County Otters where he would be in a three-way QB battle, until he took over as the starter in S2.
If you have ever looked at the all time records you have no doubt seen Mike Boss' name show up. Mike boss currently holds the following records: #2 in Passing Attempts with 5399, #2 in Passing COmpletions with 3251, #1 in Passing Completion Percentage at 60.2%, #1 in Passing Interceptions, #1 in Passing Yards with 42278, #1 in Passing Touchdowns with 292, #3 in Passing Ratings with 92.8 over a 9 season career. Now Mike Boss' played in an era where it wasn't strange to see a Quarterback hit 4500, 5000+ yards in a season. However this does not block out the absolute achievements he was able to collect during his time playing.
Mike Boss has three MVP awards to his name of which he won all three in a row. Has won 5 Quarterback of the Year awards of which his first 4 in a row and he also has 3 Offensive Player of the Year awards. While being the quarterback for the Otters he was able to throw them to 4 finals and won 3 of those. So besides 11 personal accolades he also posses three ultimus rings.
Mike Boss was a dominant force through his entire career and was one of the best quarterbacks in every season he played. If we had votes on which players were the most dominant in certain eras, Mike Boss would be an easy shoe in for any era that covers the first 10 seasons.
He will always be the one quarterback to come to my mind anytime i think of a quarterback.
