I was frustrated all season long by the lackluster play of Ace Gutowsky and Dutch Clark. The "real" Gutowsky averaged nearly three yards per carry, and was apparently very effective inside the tackles. In my games, Gutowsky was only effective against the worst teams; against decent competition, he averaged a yard per carry.
Clark was an even bigger disappointment. He should have been the Lions' most productive runner, based on his real-life average of 4.9 yards per carry. Instead, he killed drive after drive by allowing defenders to nail him for losses.
Had Ace and Dutch been more productive, I wouldn't have had Mike O'Farrell throw quite as many passes. But, then again, the simulation wouldn't have been quite as much fun for me.
