Well ladies and gentlemen (and Frost), it is finally time to announce the most important award of the season. This prestigious honor has been given out fewer times than the MVP award, and players like Jay Cue, Franklin Armstrong, and Mathias Hanyadi can only dream of winning it. That's right my friend, it's finally time for me, Joseph Petrongolo, best Arizona Outlaws running back ever and the winner of season 22's award, to announce this season's winner of the esteemed Offensive Joe of the Year award.

First off, let's look at the requirements to be nominated for this awesome award.

1. The player or user that controls it must have the name "Joe" "Joey" or "Joseph" somewhere. This is a looser rule and is up to the award giver's discretion.
2. The player must be listed in the TPE tracker under an offensive position.
3. The player must have a team listed that is either in the Developmental Simulation Football League or that is in the National Simulation Football League.

Well now that that's out of the way, let's take a look at the nominees, sorted in order of highest TPE to lowest TPE:

#55 - Joseph Petrongolo - RB - Portland Pythons POR

241 Carries | 1075 Yards | 4.5 YPC | Longest Rush: 25 yards | 6 Touchdowns
Joseph Petrongolo was drafted by the Arizona Outlaws in the second round of the ISFL draft, the 19th overall pick. He elected to stay down with the Portland Pythons for a second season in the DSFL, joining fellow backs Kenyel McZeal and Mai Fukushu in a running back by committee situation. Petrongolo ultimately saw these two competitors eat at his carries, as Petrongolo had fewer rush yards in his second campaign then he did in his rookie year. Despite his situation, Petrongolo still managed to have very respectable numbers, finishing 4th in total yards from scrimmage for running backs.

#2 - Joseph Joestar - QB - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers BBB

124 Completions | 262 Attempts | 1368 Yards | 47.3 Comp% | 8 Touchdowns | 4 Interceptions | 67.1 QBR
The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers drafted Joseph Joestar at 32 overall and he became their number one quarterback, over previous starter Chris Ramos. Joestar was recently drafted to the Orange County Otters and is being called up to play the backup role for current QB Franklin Armstrong, where he might have a tough time competing with other Joes for this award. Despite his starting role in the Myrtle Beach offense, Joestar didn't do as well as some of te other QBs in the league, completing less than half of his pass attempts and finishing with a qb rating of less than 70. If Joestar has anything going for him, it's that his name has not one but TWO joes in his name, something that was previously thought to be impossible.

#79 - Joey McCabe - OL - Sarasota Sailfish SAR

59 Pancakes | 3 Sacks Allowed
After originally being drafted to the Portland Pythons in season 21, McCabe

McCabe was drafted to the Portland Pythons in season 21, and after staying down for one season, got called up to play for the Sarasota Sailfish in season 23. During the season he had pretty average numbers for an offensive lineman, but nothing worth an award, or even a nomination. Although he is the only one of our nominees who is in the ISFL rather than the DSFL, so I'm sure this will be taken into account by our panel of judges. McCabe is definitely going to be looking to improve on his pancaking ability, and he'll need to do so in order to remain in the running for the Offensive Joe of the Year award.

So there you have it folks, the three nominees for this season's Offensive Joe of the Year Award. One running back, one quarterback, and one offensive lineman, three very different positions. It may be tough for our awards committee to vote given this. Hopefully there is a wider range of eligible candidates next season. There are a few up and coming s25 players that seem to be promising, including offensive lineman Joe Show and tight end Julian Joseph. Good luck to them in future seasons.

So without further ado, the votes for the season 23 Offensive Joe of the Year award:

1st Joseph Petrongolo (1)

2nd Joseph Joestar (0)

3rd Joey McCabe (0)

Congratulations to Joseph Petrongolo for winning his second straight Offensive Joe of the Year award and better luck next time to the runner ups.
