Trial by fire? Which one do you want to talk about? Darren Pama had issues in College when he had to change positions in his second season, and changing positions in his first season in the DSFL has led to some pretty poor games, including a 3.3 YPC in a win against KCC I feel is completely unfair since I feel like I got the lion's share of the bad spots that game.
But nah, I have an easy one for this: The Prospect Bowl. Perhaps the dumbest, most useless part of the pre draft festivities, and yet the most necessary part of them for a new guy since he finally gets to see his player perform. So how did Darren Pama do in the Prospect Bowl? Well, it depends. Later on Pama became a great blocking TE, up there with some of the league leaders who were actually Olinemen, but the first two games were extremely rough. Honestly, it felt like I shouldn't have even bothered putting any points in hands. In the first two games against the Tumbleweed, Pama caught 4 passes at 5 yards per catch, and had exactly as many drops as receptions. To be frank, Tight End seems to be a pretty thankless job for the prospect bowl unless you try to put EVERYTHING into speed, but only one guy did that. Even besides that, though, it was quite a slap to the face to see people who I thought statted worse, and indeed if you looked at the stats, did indeed stat worse, get treated better by the sim than I got treated. So far, none of my DSFL games have been worse, even including the 3.3 YPC that I still say was mostly caused by the sim's shit refs.
