FCF Players I Loved to Watch

By: Eddie Stanton

Throughout my “career” of watching football I always find myself gravitating towards explosive players.  Sometimes these players are not elite players but they make watching the game extremely enjoyable.  Jay Cutler may not make your list of best quarterbacks but he was fun to watch, every once in a while you would see him connect on a game changing 60 yard bomb that would turn the table of the current game. Then there are the other players that you would consider elite in their respective positions, players like Randy Moss and Alvin Kamara. In this article I will be telling you my favorite QB, SB and WR that I couldn't wait to take the field in the FCF.

QB - Logan Marchi

Some would put Marchi as one of the best quarterbacks in the FCF. In 5 games he was first in passing yards and second in passing touchdowns. With that being said he also threw the most interceptions and had one of the lowest passer ratings with only Pindell and Manziel with lower.  Marchi definitely has his flaws, he needs to learn when not to force a ball but every-time he took the field my eyes were glued to the screen. When watching Marchi I never felt like a play was over.  He would throw the ball while on the run or while he was being thrown to the ground by a defender. This is what would get him into trouble sometimes but the entertainment value was at 100 percent.  Marchi has a style much like a Mahomes which is the same reason I always enjoy watching the Chiefs play.

SB - LaDarius Galloway

Unlike Marchi, Galloway has very few flaws.  He is able to find a running lane quickly and fully intended to run north and south, not east and west. His uncanny vision is like no other superback in the FCF.   He was the leader in rushing among superbacks by almost 100 yards and averaged 7 yards per carry.  However, it wasn't his great numbers that made me want to watch him but instead is explosiveness and elusiveness. Every time he would cut upfield you just thought he was going for the distance.  What makes Galloway even more enjoyable to watch is his ability to gain yardage when you thought a play was dead.  Although he does know how to run north and south, sometimes he would run sideline to sideline in order to find a lane and create something from nothing, it was this that I thoroughly enjoyed watching.

WR - Andrew Jamiel

Jamiel was a workhorse for the Glacier Boyz.  He was targeted far more than any other receiver in the league, and for good reason. He led the league in receiving touchdowns and was 100 percent on his point after catches. I think the reason why I enjoyed watching him so much is the same reason he was perfect on the point after, his route running and hands.  He was exciting to watch for the same reasons Julian Eldelman is exciting to watch.  Both players have excellent hands and the ability to get open, especially on slant and dig routes.  I loved Travis Toivonen’s personality and touchdown celebrations but as for on the field play I couldn't help but watch Jamiel.


There were a lot of great players in the FCF this year but these three always had my eyes glued to the screen.  Maybe they weren't the best at their positions but for me they were definitely the most fun to watch.  If any of these players come back for FCF season 2.0 I will gladly call plays for any of them.
