Let's first talk about the big boy, Big "Snacks" Edd. He has been unstoppable this year; Offensive Lineman have to wear liners inside of their pants that need to be changed after each play they face against Big Edd. He may be slow and may be taking naps during half of the snaps, but when he is ready to attack the quarterback nothing stands in the way between Edd and the quarterback. Don't tell Edd we made this up, but when we need a stop we tell him that the quarterback has a pack of candy corn (the third best candy as according to Edd) stashed away in his armband playbook. And when that doesn't work we tell him skittles (the overall best candy as according to Edd) are stashed away instead. You may think what I am saying is hyperbole and you may or may not be right. Who are you to say otherwise? But it really does demonstrate how much of a beast Edd was on the field. Of course stories don't win you awards, you need the numbers to back it up and Edd can back it up, all you need to look at is how many sacks Big Edd accumulated over the course of 16 games this season. He totaled an astounding 12 sacks! That is 0.75 sacks per game! He did not have the most sacks of all players this past season as their were 3 linebackers with more, but it is understandable that a linebacker would have more sacks than a defensive tackle. However, this is the most sacks for any defensive tackle in the league this season and he had other great players on the line with him such as Thorian Skarsgard and Lanzer Grievous. And do you know who he had more sacks than this season? It was Bubba Thumper, who is a defensive tackle with an incredible 1379 TPE! You could understand having more sacks than other defensive tackles such as Otis Allen who has less than 800 TPE as there is only a 300 TPE difference, but Bubba Thumper has three times more TPE than Big Edd. And Bubba Thumper didn't even have a tackle for loss, whereas Big Edd had 5 of them recorded! I think I have said enough about Big Edd and in fact I don't think anything needed to be said as his performance speaks for itself. Big Edd should indubitably be awarded defensive lineman of the year, if not defensive player of the year.

The Orange County Otters had the luxury of riding of being able to relay on a top tier quarterback, Franklin Armstrong, for the last several seasons. Even at the beginning of his career, Armstrong was taking the team to the playoffs. However, it was not until Armstrong's 3rd season that he took us all the way to win the Ultimus. I am talking about Franklin Armstrong this much as he has been the key to our success since season 17. However, Armstrong is well into regression the next season and I believe this will be his first sub-1000 TPE season in a long time. He will still be competitive and may even take us all the way, but we can no longer ignore the inevitable. We need to start training a new quarterback while we still have Armstrong for at least another season. And there is also no telling whether or not Armstrong retires after the Ultimus this year. I hope not, but either way it will be profitable to draft a top-tier QB next season. If we do that, we will have Armstrong for season 24. That leaves season 25 in question. If Armstrong stays, we can rely on him, if not then we have a decent cap space for season 25 at $69 Million. We may be able to pick up a quarterback off of FA and have him play for us in season 25 and even 26 depending on how things pan out. Then in season 27, or worst case season 26 we can bring on our new quarterback.
During the transition between hall of famer Showbiz and future hall of famer, Franklin Armstrong, was a Ultimus dry-spell of three seasons. That is kind of funny to think about that 3 seasons between Ultimus wins is a dry-spell, but that is how much of a dynasty that the Otters have. The goal for the next 3 seasons beyond season 24, seasons 25-27, will be to bring up a new quarterback and mitigate the loss of Franklin Armstrong as much as possible by picking someone up while our new quarterback progresses.
In addition to losing Armstrong, we will be either losing great player or they will be entering regression. Such examples are the senior citizen players, such as Thorian Skarsgard, who announced retirement last season and we will finally be losing him next season. As well and Lanzer Grievious and Hugh Mongo. I am not entirely positive in how many season that we will be have Mongo and Grievous, but that leaves opening in Wide Receiver, linebacker (if we want to keep 3), and defensive end. We had a hole last season in DE, but Grievous was able to step in and fill that role even though his main experience is playing linebacker.
