    TheSportsGoth got a reaction from Chris in Soccer or Football?!   
    As for the history...

    The Rugby Rules and the Sheffield Rules date from the 1850s

    Ivy League teams  started playing each other using a hybrid rule set in the 1860s, then more closely resembling Rugby in the 1870s

    1872 The first meeting of the Football Association meets in London where they adopt the Sheffield Rules for Football, creating Association Football. The members who supported the Rugby Rules quit and form the Rugby Football Union.

    1880-1890s Down and dstance rules, the forward pass and scrimmages are introduced into the collegiate game in the US by legends like Walter Camp, Pop Warner and John Heisman.

    So... American Football is slightly younger than Association Football. But there's not a lot in it.

    HI! I'm The Sports Goth (It's a long story and involves eyeliner and Falcons shirt)
    I'm a longtime GM style game player... my first game was Football Manager. Not the modern Football Manager. The original on the ZX Spectrum!
    Looking forward to sharing ideas with the denizens of this forum!

    It depends what you want as a foundation. Cards have a QB to build around and a great #1, so you have a starting point. Jets are probably a bigger challenge. Cards have a trickier division.
