Player(s) who sucked in real life but was your franchise guy(s)

[FirstTimer]

First one that comes to mind for me is Quarterback Dave Ragone of my Chicago Bears Franchise on Madden 2003. Ragone to Terrell FTW.

Had him for well over a decade and dude was a stud.

[Obst]

Trung Canidate.

[cf24]

You can NEVER go wrong with Trung haha.

For me, it was any Cardinals player between 2002-2009. The roster was full of shit players haha. I always did work with JJ Arrington and Marcel Shipp though.
