I’m not as concerned about the Mariner’s 1-1 start as I am having back to back weeks of losing starters to injury for multiple weeks…. We gotta stay healthy if we want to even sniff the playoffs. Side note, I’m really digging these new graphics Wallflower.

Oh don't worry Miranda is the backup QB... you'd think the Mariner fan would know that Lyle Painter is the starter.../s

Thanks! I'm glad the new graphics are a hit. 

🤦🏻‍♂️ I wasn’t think when I wrote that out… but now I’m wondering why Miranda saw action, with the game being so close, you’d think that’d be the last thing the OC would want to do is have the backup in there willingly…. I reread the game synopsis and didn’t see anything about Painter having to leave the game… 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's all good. 
Based on the injury system I have in place, backup players have a chance of getting injured, for most positions it makes sense for them to get in on a play or two in a game or on special teams, but I get QBs are the weird ones. It could have been many things:
1 - Practice/training/warm-up injury.
2 - Completely unrelated injury or incident that happened off the field, maybe doing yard work.
3 - In 3-down football, specifically in the real CFL, it is extremely common (like at least 4-5 times a game) for backups to play on short yardage (say 3rd and 1, 3rd and inches), often doing a QB sneak to pick up the first down (I am trying to increase this event in the NAAF). This is typically so the starter doesn't get hurt in the dog pile, so it is also possible the Mariners had gone for it on short and Miranda came up injured on the play. So you are right that there was no reason he would be out there for regular snaps, but he could be out there on specific snaps on a short-yardage unit. 
4 - Or some guy took his head off while he was holding a kick.

Don't forget the last option!
5 - 

as the guy who submitted michael miranda I'm gonna go with 6 - tried to put his helmet on upside down and bonked himself really hard

I recall you (Wallflower) stating that Xerxes Wynn was playing semi pro ball while signed to Indiana. My question is, what are the leagues that act as semi pro? And are there any team names for the semi pro leagues?

Huh, cool to see Portland, Maine have a team, if they were ever covered I would root for them. So IU was wondering do the Gulls play at the baseball field the Athletics did? Or are they playing at say, a high school football field?
