Henry or Parham - Both Kinda Mid

I spend a little on the game and have a full SB theme team with 25 Playoff for Kittle and Megatron. I Use Lott and Kam up top, Ward, NTL, Blount, and Herb at Corners. I've all Abilties accounted for with Deep Zones on Ward, Kam, and Lott and DOZKO on NTL. All of my Xfactors are Unstoppable forces with Sapp, Mada, and george. 

What use would I have for no PA Parahm

I have everything on offense as well and Henry doesn't get the greatest stack. I guess I could buy Heeeeth for that 0 AP TE Apprentice and use the 1 AP on CMC.  His stack also costs 7 for just SFL, GS, GW.. 

I guess what I am saying is they arent' Meta. But which is more fun to mess around with.

i'm with you and in a similar position team wise... HOWEVER, *most* players aren't in the boat we are in and Parham could very well be a starter on an "average" squad or NMS squad... so i get the release - they aren't going to give us a goated free card, then no one would spend the coins on guys like Lott or Kam. 

But i do think they messed up Parham's ability stack. No good abilities - great x-factor except the activation is next to impossible.

im nms and both cards are still mid lol

Exactly. Good for those who don’t have the god squads. I want to pick one that might be fun. I guess parham. Just use him as user 1. I like how the next guy who commented says he is NMS and they are both still mid lol. 
 

I might get Henry for the 2022 nostalgia

Lol. Just saw the NMS comment 🤣 guess I was wrong. 
 

I picked Parham just because… I still don’t know what I’m doing at QB (Doug or 96 Mahomes)… I’d use Parham at user, but hate no abilities

I'm running 70/70 SB & 25/50 49ers + 6/6 AKA Crews, anyway... I've already got a great Trad4 QB with Doug Williams, not sure how many 6'8" 98 SPD defensive backs we'll have to choose from, so I chose Parham. Pick / LurkArtist would be nice, but 1AP DOZKO might make him a great outside corner since I don't have NTL, but I've got a plethora of 98-99 SPD DBs to choose from.

Super flexible card, can play almost anywhere. Gonna try him at USER for a bit.

I’m not sure either would see the field for me long term (the no discounted pick artist is a killer), so I chose Henry. They’ll both end up as backups for SB chem

I am currently QBless (sold Stroud for 900k a few days ago in anticipation of MVP Lamar), so decided to roll Derrick for a few games. He is FUN!  Yea, his AP stack sucks, but he played well in the 3 WL games and 2 SB events I ran.   

If he got the SFL/GS/GW for 6 like Stroud, I might have thought twice about breaking the bank for Lamar. I enjoyed him that much.

This is a good point. I might try it.

Not sure why everyone is worrying about abilities on Parham? Maybe i'm missing something but he's a 6'8 FS so he will jump 50 feet in the air regardless of abilities and he gets Superbowl chems which means more speed. Idk, maybe i'm wrong but it seems like a nice card

Damn it. You are in the exact situation. I too hate the stack he got. 7 is silly. Unless you rock ward with zero slot apprentice and heeeth. Plus whatever RB gets zero apprentice. Meh, like you said not long term. But at least we would have a serviceable QB when in between. Right now I have Montana.

There was zero chance EA was willing to give the players a good free card

I'm 💯% with you on this. Seems a bit of an overreaction, at least initially. I believe this card was very well made, it's super versatile with 1AP DOZKO making it elite, nearly Night Train Lane caliber, which is liek a 2-3M coin card or something ridiculous. Sorry I don't keep pace of pricing lately, but I regard this (Parham FS) as potentially very high end. Can almost be everything to everyone.

1. Fantastic USER at 98 SPD with elite coverage stats
2. Awesome deep Safety, assuming you give +1 ZCV to meet minimum 90 threshold, I believe
3. Great outside corner with insane speed, height and DOZKO

Not having LurkArtist is no big deal, IMO... this is a safety, he'll animate fine and probably surprise us with leaping picks as you so accurately pointed out. Amen, brother.

Preach.

i would love that parham for my squad but i only had JT and pitts out of the mcs players so i was never gonna be able to do the set

Played 2 games with him and he seems fine out there. Takes up a lot of space and is similar to Carmichael with his range
