Ok, so I have been pondering this and asking many of my friends.
I even asked the equivalent in r/Nbamemes
If you were given 100 offensive drives (see assumptions below), what would be your stat line?
Assumptions are as follows:
- Only offence, no defence — you never play on the defensive side of the ball.
- You are in your current physical shape, but fully rested — no muscle soreness/fatigue, full energy, fully stretched and warmed up.
- Your fitness/energy resets every drive — you’re fresh for every new possession.
- You can choose to play whatever offensive position you want — QB, RB, WR, TE, etc.
- You are surrounded by 10 perfectly average NFL offensive players — average O-line, average WRs, average RBs, etc. Think composite Madden 75s across the board.
- The defence you’re playing against is the exact same — made up of perfectly average NFL defenders.
- Your coach is average, the playcalling is generic, and nothing is tailored to your unique strengths or weaknesses.
- No special teams, just 100 full offensive drives starting at your own 25-yard line.
- You can do anything you want on those 100 drives. Take snaps, run routes, whatever.
- Home crowd advantage.
- The defence is locked in and they're treating this like it’s the Super Bowl.
What would be your final stat line after 100 drives?

Playing as WR:
* 0 Targets
0 targets, 0 receptions, 25 injuries
1 catch on the very last snap when everyone else is worn out but I still get refreshed for -10 yards and a life ending injury
Assuming they keep giving me the ball?
I’m playing RB. Tell me what gap to run through. I probably get a couple yards if the O-line does well, I lose a couple if they don’t do well. Either way, I’m bear hugging the ball with both arms and hoping I don’t die when I get hit.
153 carries, 92 yards, 36 fumbles, 0 TDs, 14 injuries that are miraculously healed before the next drive (hopefully)
24 targets, 1 catch, -2 yards, 0 TDs
An average coach would bench me by the second drive though
