3:17 Bart Starr as a coach: Green Bay Packers (1972) (QB) Green Bay Packers (1975-1983) (HC). Essentially made a HC for 9 years without any other experience (listed on Wikipedia). Jeff Saturday as coach of the Colts. Art Shell retired as an offensive linemen and went to coaching the offensive line the next year for the Raiders, then got the job as an Interim head coach in 1989 and kept it until 1994. Then he was given the job again in 2006 after being out of coaching for 6 years. So, yeah, it happens. It isn't always the best idea, but it happens.
1:45 - I put on Madden 2004, set a 32 team franchise and everything to CPU control, ran a season and this is what I learned: The Falcons and the Lions were in the red and I was warned that I would lose my franchise. I was told that I would need to relocate or reduce my expenses.
Good series. Madden 2004 has a unique feel among the series. It's the last game where the fast players are FAST and OL is not chasing down your CB on a pick 6. It's one reason why punt returns are so hard to defend on high difficulty. Every punt on all madden is like Matt Dodge punting to Desean Jackson. I'd like to see a Madden 2005 series from you at some point if you feel like it.
It is sad to see this come to an end. I have been running a 32 team franchise in the background with everything set to CPU control while watching this installment and have some observations: 1. Despite having an owner mode, you can just lose control of teams. 2. The Madden generated draft classes are not good. For example, I am in the off season of year 10 as I type this and when I go to all of the HBs in the NFL, LaDainian Tomlinson is 97ovr at 37 years old. After him we see the following overall ratings: 91, 90, 86, 83, 81, 79. that's right, on the page of all HBs in the league - without having to scroll down - we already see a 79ovr HB in the top of the HBs in the NFL. This is more or less the same for the other positions. The future of the NFL, in Madden 2004, is bleak. It certainly looks and feels like the mode really is a race to acquire and hold as many real life veteran players for as long as possible, and as the old guard ages out, you are stuck with what Tom Brady called the modern NFL.
1:45 I am not sure when teams went from paying their players out of pocket and switched to revenue sharing, but there are stories going back to the 80s of teams struggling to make payroll and I think one case (Vikings?) where a player was given a compensation agreement that he would be paid out with interest into the 90s and maybe early 2000s - before the cap era, and his deal was grandfathered into not counting against the salary cap or whatever. It was a mess and "the wild west" before the NFL became a sporting empire. Now they just have a big pile of money and engage in cooperate socialism. But, basically, I am sure that you need to at least make payroll.
Another Madden on the Raiders? The last John Madden had the best winning percentage of any coach and his name on the game! Let's see how this guy does.
If you compacted these videos like you did the New England Patriots one, I'd forsure subscribe! These individual videos have a lot of fluff that make them boring too watch. Hopefully you see this
The Tom Brady video isn't a rebuild. It didn't need the "fluff". I also didn't like that other creators didn't go over everything in rebuilds when they do condensed videos so I wanted to create my own that can do that. It's a bummer that you find them boring, but I can understand why.
bro every series you commentate is the greatest. You are made for it 😌

Dude that ending is epic, a banger game!
This was master class off-season. Also, Buchanan put the team on back!
Good morning brother just woke up and you just drop

16:06 - Slow clap.
What are you thinking for your next series? Have you thought about doing any of the NcAA games?
I have been considering doing a Dynasty in NCAA 06, but I'm still unsure of the team to pick.
@@dyn-chise you could do a franchise with the mountaineers. Pat McAfee, Pat White, and the championship that they never got.
Philip Buchanan for HOF

When this was uploaded my ex still hadn’t met her new one
No way. Can't believe Oakland won on a ball that bounced off the bar. You had to be losing your $#&+ when that happened
Time to bench Taylor. Fumbling three times in a playoff game should spell the end of that experiment plus he got injured during the season.
John madden the 2nd
