The G.O.A.T That Never Was

I cant believe I'm pulling for Brady here. But next season the Niners is going need a back up since I cant see them Keeping Matt Castle.
 
2009 NFL Offseason

The 2009 Free agency period had a wide range of players who are considered Superstars. First was Quarterback Drew Brees, who was apart of the losing team in the Super Bowl. He quickly resigned with the team however. Next was Dwight Freeney, who actually hosted visits from other teams, and it seemed like the New York Jets were gonna get him, but the Patriots matched the offer and he stayed with his team. The 49ers would then sign Randy Moss, since Wide Receiver Terrell Owens had retired in the offseason, stating he was happy with everything he had accomplished in his career. The Raiders would then in turn sign Nate Washington as his replacement.

The NFL saw only two coaching changes, as the Denver Broncos would fire Head Coach Mike Shannan, and then bring in his replacement of Jim Caldwell. The Broncos also brought in new General Manager John Elway. Following this, the league would then turn their attention to the NFL Draft. The Seahawks would then hire USC assistant Lane Kiffin to turn the team in a new direction.

Mock Drafts were radically different. Some had the Broncos already replacing Jamarcus Russell, some had the team giving him weapons, then some even had the team trading the pick.

“The Denver Broncos have traded the 1st overall pick to the Philadelphia Eagles. With the 1st overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select...Matthew Stafford, Quarterback from University of Georgia.”

“With the 2nd overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select...Mark Sanchez, Quarterback from University of Southern California.”

“With the 3rd overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select...B.J. Raji, Defensive Tackle from Boston College.”

“With the 4th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select...Darrius Heyward-Bey, Wide Receiver from University of Maryland.”

“With the 5th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select...Brian Cushing, Linebacker from University of Southern California.”

“With the 6th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select...Michael Crabtree, Wide Receiver from Texas Tech University.”

“With the 10th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select...Malcolm Jenkins, Cornerback from Ohio State University.”

“With the 16th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select...Josh Freeman, Quarterback from Kansas State.”

“With the 19th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select...Jeremy Maclin, Wide Receiver from Missouri.”

“With the 20th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select...Percy Harvin, Wide Receiver from University of Florida.”

“With the 21st overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select...Vontae Davis, Cornerback from Illinois.”

“With the 22nd overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers select...Clay Matthews, Linebacker from University of Southern California.”

“With the 42nd overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the New York Giants select...Jairus Byrd, Safety from University of Oregon.”

“With the 54th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select...LeSean McCoy, Running Back from Pittsburgh.”

“With the 84th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select...Mike Wallace, Wide Receiver from University of Mississippi.”

“With the 255th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select...Arian Foster, Running Back from University of Tennessee.”

2009 NFL Season

The season kicked off with the defending Cleveland Browns host division rival Pittsburgh Steelers. The game was back and forth, but the Browns would win on a late Marshawn Lynch run to get the 28-24 win.

Did you think there would be change in the AFC South? Of course there wasn’t. Peyton Manning and company would coast to the division title. His numbers would end up winning him his 3rd MVP award, as he nearly broke Dan Marino’s yardage record, coming up short at 5,001. He would finish with 38 touchdowns to 10 interceptions. The team would end up with the 1st Seed with a record of 13-3. The Texans would show more improvement ending up with a record of 9-7, but would miss the playoffs. The team had pieces there to break through, but it seemed like they needed a Quarterback that wasn’t Kevin Kolb, as he would be on and off the IR. The Titans would continue to regress, after Matt Leinart’s top target of Nate Washington left town, he continued to regress, leading the league in interceptions at 25, the Titans would end up with the Number one overall pick after coming in at 2-14. The Jaguars would continue to struggle under Head Coach Kevin Guy who couldn’t adapt to the NFL playing style and they would end up once again under .500.

The AFC West had showed a different winner the prior year, but the Oakland Raiders would come back to the division’s best team as the team had fully healed and would come into the old team from years prior and would clinch the AFC’s 3rd seed at 11-5. Ben Roethlisberger would end up winning Comeback player of the year with numbers of 4,308 yards 30 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. The Chargers who had taken the division a year prior, would miss the playoffs as Philip Rivers seemed to be an inconsistent piece under center, and they would finish at 8-8. The Chiefs seemed like they had found their guy under center as Rookie Josh Freeman had put up Rookie of the Year numbers, but they still needed ones around him and would finish at 9-7, missing the playoffs. The Broncos would continue to struggle, as they tried to figure out what to do with Quarterback Jamarcus Russell. During the offseason, he had released a statement saying he wasn’t where he wished to be when he had issues with the team the season before and continued to say that he was glad to be apart of an organization such as the Broncos. The team still didn’t trust him as their guy, and would place him on the trade block while Chad Henne would be the season starter. They saw improvement from being the league’s worst team a year before, but still weren’t close to being good enough for the playoffs and finished at 7-9.

The AFC North was a competitive division once again. The Cleveland Browns seemed to have ‘Championship hangover’ as they didn’t look like the team they were the year before. If that wasn’t bad enough, Quarterback Chad Pennington would go down with a shoulder injury in Week 8 and the team would end up missing the playoffs going 8-8. The Ravens finally broke through to be a possible Division winner, as Quarterback Matt Moore would be a reliable asset at Quarterback. Jamaal Charles would break through as a top Running Back. Week 17 saw the Steelers and Ravens sit in at 9-6. The Steelers would win on a late Touchdown catch by Hines Ward from 8 yards out. The Ravens would then lose out on a playoff spot due to not owning the tiebreaker for the 6th seed. The Bengals would continue to be a terrible team, as Marvin Lewis would make it clear that Jake Delhomme’s time in Cincinnati was up, as they finished in at 5-11.

The AFC East was still the most competitive division in the AFC. However, the Division was at the mercy of Kurt Warner. Many experts were saying that the season would be his last, not just in New York, but as a player. He would agree with them, and during preseason he announced that 2009 would be his final year in the league. Warner seemed to take it on himself to put the Jets in the best position possible to win the division. They did just that, and not only winning the division, they would clinch the 2nd seed finishing in at 12-4. The Buffalo Bills would continue to regress, as Jay Cutler didn’t seem to be the answer at Quarterback, and they would finish in at 8-8. Many Bill fans were calling for his time to be done. The Dolphins were easily the second best team in the division, as the combination of Carson Palmer and Jonathan Stewart would lead the team to a record of 10-6, for the 5th seed. The Patriots, who missed the playoffs after winning Super Bowl 42, would once again clinch the 6th seed, as the beat the Ravens in Week 13 to get the playoff spot.

The AFC Standings were as follows:
  1. Indianapolis Colts 13-3

  2. New York Jets 12-4

  3. Oakland Raiders 11-5

  4. Pittsburgh Steelers 10-6

  5. Miami Dolphins 10-6

  6. New England Patriots 9-7

The NFC West would once again belong to the 49ers. Quarterback Tom Brady would clinch his 3rd MVP award, as the new trio of White, Jackson, and Moss would help him tie his record setting number of Touchdown passes at 50, while only throwing 9 interceptions. The 49ers defense would slowly take a slight step back, as Captain Junior Seau would retire during the offseason. Terrell Suggs would step up and become the leader on that side of the ball. Rookie Clay Matthews seemed to be a promising Linebacker. They would again clinch the division and the 1st seed at 13-3. The Cardinals, who were the 49ers toughest opposition for the division, would finish in at 11-5, good enough for the 5th seed, as Quarterback Drew Brees had placed himself into MVP talks as well. The Rams seemed to be a team disarrayed, as terrible play and injuries would drop them to 5-11. The Seahawks seemed at times a team good enough to compete for the 6th seed, as Rookie LeSean McCoy would lead the offense, and AJ Hawk would lead the defense to a record of 9-7.

The NFC North would again belong to the Green Bay Packers, as Sophomore Quarterback Matt Ryan would lead the offense with his top target of DeSean Jackson would lead the team to a 3rd seed of 11-5. The Bears still continued to show signs of regression, as David Garrard would end up getting benched in Week 9, and it seemed like that his time in Chicago would finally come to an end. The Vikings would show more progress under Jon Gruden, as their defense would be ranked in the top 10 all year and would come in at 8-8, nearly making the playoffs for the first time in years, but it was still obvious they needed to draft a future franchise Quarterback. The Detroit Lions would again make the playoffs, just barely being able to clinch the 6th seed at 9-7 as they owned the tiebreaker over the Seahawks due to strength of schedule.

The NFC East all 4 teams being a possible winner. The Eagles would quickly start Rookie Matthew Stafford over long term Quarterback Donovan McNabb, and he would quickly become one of the best duo alongside another Rookie Mike Wallace. They would end up with the 4th seed in the NFC, at a record of 10-6, beating out the Giants as they both sat in at 8-5, and the Eagles would cruise to the division title while the Giants stumbled under at 8-8. The Redskins and Cowboys both had trouble staying up near the top, as Quarterbacks Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers would both have nagging injuries. Week One both went down with a shoulder injury. Favre would come back sooner, but then would suffer a concussion. When Rodgers came back, he seemed to be fine but then would tear his ACL in Week 8. The Redskins finished in at 6-10, and the Cowboys finished in at 7-9.

The NFC South would belong to the Falcons for a second year in a row. Quarterback Joe Flacco had belong in MVP talks all year, posting numbers of 4,209 yards 38 touchdowns and 13 interceptions, good enough to lead the team to 12-4, which would clinch them a Bye week at the 2nd Seed. The Saints who had belong in the playoff picture for years prior, they would be far from it, as Quarterback Vince Young would go down with a season ending concussion in Week 7, and the team would finish at 5-11. The Buccaneers seemed like they had found a promising Quarterback Mark Sánchez, and they would come in at 8-8, a massive improvement from what they had been years before.

The NFC Standings were as follows:
  1. San Francisco 49ers 13-3

  2. Atlanta Falcons 12-4

  3. Green Bay Packers 11-5

  4. Philadelphia Eagles 10-6

  5. Arizona Cardinals 11-5

  6. Detroit Lions 9-7

Final Score

Author’s Notes:
Got this update out early, as today wasn’t as busy as I thought it would be. So yeah, got another season out. The draft was interesting to write, I had 3 teams in mind for Stafford. The Bengals, Seahawks and Eagles were all considered, but decided to move on from McNabb finally. Mark Sánchez was also considered for the Bengals and Seahawks, but the Bucs deserve a Quarterback, sorry the best you can get is Sánchez, even though he was reliable for the first few seasons. The season itself was going to be the 49ers all the way, so Brady finally got his second. The AFC was between the Colts or Jets, but decided to give Warner one last hurrah into retirement instead of getting murdered like he did by the Saints OTL. So yeah, 2009 was fun, 2010 will be up closer to end of the week.
 
Final Score
49ers 31 Jets 24
For a moment i was thinking you would give the title to warner(His third and final ring ITTL) so that would be the title drop(work with brady as sucessful never got the mega sucess he have so far in OTL) but well, brady and Peyton manning are tied in ring so far, not bad.

“The Denver Broncos have traded the 1st overall pick to the Philadelphia Eagles.
What they got from that trade?

Nice update, waiting next one, this tl is so good.
 
The Broncos received 6 drafts picks, including 2010 and 2011 first rounders.

Also, another side note. This TL still has ages to go, but I'm starting to think up another TL, which I may or may not write at the same time of this one or wait until I finish this up. But it's going to be either a NHL or NBA TL, so let me know what you guys want to read about.

So, kind of a big update here.

As of now, probably for good but you never know, I'm going to take a break from this timeline. I enjoy writing it still, but I feel like it's kind of getting repetitive. Plus, I'm actually really excited for my new TL which I've decided to be an NBA one. I think I've lost some rust on this is because of I had to focus on the entire league rather than just one team.

But with all this said, I still can't thank you guys enough for letting me get to 6 pages, honestly when I started this I expected like 3 or 4 at most before people lost interest.

Down below I'll post every Super Bowl Winners and MVPs:
Super Bowl 36 Rams over. Raiders MVP Kurt Warner
Super Bowl 37 Raiders over. Packers MVP Jerry Rice
Super Bowl 38 Colts over. Eagles MVP Peyton Manning
Super Bowl 39 Colts over. Packers MVP Nick Harper
Super Bowl 40 49ers over. Bengals MVP Tom Brady
Super Bowl 41 Raiders over. Bears MVP Ben Roethlisberger
Super Bowl 42 Patriots over. 49ers MVP Eli Manning
Super Bowl 43 Browns over. Cardinals MVP Marshawn Lynch
Super Bowl 44 49ers over. Jets MVP Randy Moss
Super Bowl 45 Cardinals over. Steelers MVP Larry Fitzgerald
Super Bowl 46 Colts over. Cowboys MVP Peyton Manning
Super Bowl 47 Packers over. Raiders MVP DeSean Jackson
Super Bowl 48 Seahawks over. Patriots MVP Ryan Tannehill
Super Bowl 49 49ers over. Broncos MVP Tom Brady
Super Bowl 50 Panthers over. Dolphins MVP Andrew Luck
Super Bowl 51 Falcons over. Ravens MVP Joe Flacco

If you guys want to ask me any questions, like where a certain player ended up, how Team A fared for the entire TL, etc. go ahead and do so.

My new TL will be up soon.

Good stuff! Sad to see it end, but I certainly understand. Good luck with the NBA TL!

As for this one, did the Bills ever make it back to the playoffs?
 
The Bills made the playoffs under RG3 in 2012.
Did they blow up his ACL/knee as otl...and a shame this TL was abandoned it...Loved it so far and a shame we miss the new decade would have been ultra fun...at least the cards won a superbowl here(And Brees still got his ring)
 
Kapernick goes to the Bengals, and has some moderate success but never makes it to the Super Bowl as he did OTL.

Smith leads the Giants to the playoffs a good amount, but never breaks through.

Rg3 still turns into RgBleed sadly.
 
Wilson ends up with the Ravens.
Tebow ended up on the Seahawks but left for baseball earlier than OTL, which is how they end up with Tannehill.
Cousins ends up with the Texans.
 
Final starters for every team going into 2017:

Bills-Sam Bradford
Dolphins-Carson Palmer
Patriots-Eli Manning
Jets-Jamies Winston

Steelers-Kyle Orton
Bengals-Colin Kapernick
Browns-Blake Bortles
Ravens-Russell Wilson

Falcons-Joe Flacco
Saints-Patrick Mahomes II
Panthers-Andrew Luck
Bucs-Jared Goff

Packers-Matt Ryan
Lions-Tony Romo
Vikings-DeShaun Watson
Bears-Dak Prescott

Notes:
-Bridgewater avoids his knee injury.
-Romo isn't basically forced into retirement as Prescott never comes around.
-Peyton still retires after Super Bowl 50.
-Orton doesn't retire as he has had way more success ITTL under the Steelers.
 
Well my major doubts are solved, well if you try a NFL/Gridiron Football timeline again just tell us, we will wait to see what your NBA TL will be about.
