7) Awards season is a big part of the offseason festivities. Take the stand, in 400 words or more, for one or more players that are not your own, and argue why they should receive awards glory. They can be your teammates or anyone in the league. How did their stats and on the field contribution contribute to their case this year?
Okay, I just realized this PT is due today so I am a little bit late to the party. With the awards presentation already happened I, of course, already know who won. I will do my best to back up a couple of the, in my opinion, right choices that have been made. Let's start things of with one of the most consistent forces our league's defenses have. Derred De Ville received awards glory by being elected to this year's defensive player of the year. I believe this is the first time since his DSFL rookie season he has been the defensive player of the year and to be honest I believe this one is a no brainer. Derred ranked 16th among the most tackles made with 117 tackles. While this is impressive this would most likely not be enough if it was not for his unique talent as a linebacker. Derred is known for being all over the field. While he only accounted for 2 Tackles for Loss he also forced 2 fumbles and sacking opponment's QBs for 13 times! 13 Sacks is elite DT output, this games makes the same thing as a linebacker which naturally needs more time to get to QBs simply because of where he lines up. It just shows the talent the two best pass-rushing (with Galf Wilf and him) LBs in the league have. If that was not enough Derred also ended 29 plays by deflecting passes. He basically ended 148 downs individually which is absurd. Of course, he led the league in deflected passes and it is not particularly close. McCringleberry had pretty similar numbers but derred beat him in nearly every statline. Derred also almost led the linebackers in the league in INTs with 2 picks, only being beat by Arianlacher, Quaid, Mongo-Panda and Banks. That is some dominant Linebacker play. The Hawks are really lucky to have such a young and elite player.
Another Interesting Award choice I want to look into is the Wolfie McDummy MVP vote. While Wolfie did not really account for huge yardage he had the best touchdown to interception ratio by a landmile. He threw for 31 touchdowns and 9 interceptions, naturally resulting in a league high passer rating with 96.9. I don't believe that I have witnessed such a high rating since entering the league! NcDummy's completion percentage also led the league with 62.5% so McDummy was nearly flawless this year! You could really argue that there was something odd about the MVP vote, since there are significant differences in OPOY and MVP this year but: who cares, McDummy earned MVP honors!
9) Pick any position, and determine who in your view is the greatest player to ever suit up at that position. Why do you view them as the GOAT? What achievements, records, accolades, or statistics do they hold? How do they stack up against the other legends in their position, and why does your chosen candidate come out on top?
Okay I know this is kinda hypocrit since I do not know much about this player but statwise, of course it has to be Boss. The Otters really had a great stretch with elite QBs. Pretty similar with what the Packers have in the NFL. Since entering the league I only really witnessed Franklin Armstrong and yeah, this guy is a great player. Of course, he has to be the GOAT with all the Ultimus wins and his overall stats, right? Then I heard people talking about Mike Boss and boy, this guy's likeness is fitting like no other! He is our Tom Brady! Mike Boss played in the first couple of years of this league's creation and just destroyed defenses. Mike Boss threw for 292 touchdowns in his career while only throwing 131 picks. This would be a pretty good statline in the real NFL football, but for this league it is simply breathtaking. His career overall passer rating is at 92.8 which would still be at the top of this year's QBs (and he accumulated that throughout his carrer, nuts!). Of course, such production would lead to success with him winning 3 Ultimus championships and four MVP awards. If you take a look at this league's top passers in history he is featured at the top 10 of any Quarterback category. He leads the league in Career passing completion percentage with 60.2%, Passing Touchdowns and also interceptions, which will most likely also come from his absurd 5399 passing attempts which are the second most any QB had in their career in this league. Boss also has 6 spots on the most passing yards a QB threw in a season including the top 4 passing yards a QB ever threw in a single season. The single season records Boss holds are just absurd to this point, it is really hard to look at the single season records for QBs without noticing the name "boss" at the top positions. With all this dominance I would also like to mention that there of course is a reason for this inhuman production, with Mike playing at the very beginnings of this league it should be noted that the skill level of other players, especially on defense, would not be ip to the test with the players today. This league does have a large history including CPU teams that would be destroyed by teams with human players. His production also is largely influenced by the trust boss enjoyed from the organisation that let him sling the ball an insane amount of times. I do think though that having this kind of trust from one's organization and not letting the organisation down (by winning multiple Ultis and MVP Awards) is exactly what makes a player a GOAT. I am completely serious, it is really hard to argue anything but Mike Boss being the goat in my opinion.
I really must say, I enjoyed looking up his stats a lot it's ridiculous how dominant this guy was back in the day.
