We all remember the times that this has been discussed at the rule summit in Season 19, which failed at only having 6 votes out of 17 to pass, and was against FS's playing at LB & then coming back onto the ballot the very next season was a blanket ban of S's at LB and just barely passed with 12 votes out of 16 to become enacted. This change caused sweeping changes throughout the rest of the defense as S's became less valuable on the field and linebacker's were protected because frankly they just were not nearly as good at creating some of the splash plays on the field. If we are able to ban positions such as S's at LB or WR's at CB, I think we should just get rid of any out of position players to limit the advantage they have against true position Al players an this could include things such as TE's playing as WR's, LB's at DE and so on. While I'm still against this viewpoint it would make things much more even or creating an out of position award for those that do instead of lumping them with true positionals it would divert some of the animosity between users and positions. Lastly, I think the league should ultimately revisit this decision in a vote because it failed miserably the first time on the ballot.

#20 Championship Trophy
Playoff MVP
The MVP of the playoffs often comes from the team that wins the Ultimus, and this season is not the exception to this common sentiment. Douglas Quaid was an absolute force to be reckoned with within the playoffs as he notched a very solid 6 sacks, 24 tackles, and 1 pass defense throughout entirety of the playoffs as a linebacker. Consistency was the name of the game for Quaid throughout the playoffs as he has both 8 tackles and 2 sacks in every single playoff game he played in, which is tremendously important to a teams success. While the stats may be eye popping, defensive playoffs also have unforseen stats in ways such as offensive teams gameplanning around these types of players to take them out of the stat sheet and drive action towards some of the weaker links on the team. While Quaid may not be the top linebacker on the team, which Virtanen holds that spot, he is still an important cog in this machine because teams have to decide whether to steer away from the young upstart in Quaid or the sessoned veteran in Virtanen. I hope to see this player continue their amazing stretch of playoffs into the following season and become a true superstar on the defensive side of the ball such as other linebackers like Mo Berry and Tyron Brackenridge.
