Considering football is a team sport, the ultimate meaning of success boils down to wins and championships. Sure it's nice to have individual awards an accolades that show off how extremely talented you are and what a great football player you've become, but ultimately individual success only carries you so far. When being compared to great players of generations past, present, and future, the stats can be adjusted for eras but ring counts will always remain the same, and without having tasted ultimate success atop the peak of the International Simulation Football League by taking home an Ultimus victory, all those impressive stats can fall flatly on deaf ears. Plus "individual" stats are kind of a lie anyway, aside from pancakes (which could be aided by a teammate, just saying) there are no statistics that are actually based solely on the play of one player. Rushing yards? Who helped block those meanie defenders trying to tackle you? Passing and/or receiving yards? Who threw and or caught that ball? Tackles? Who took on the double team or set the edge to force the ball carrier your direction? Interceptions? Who applied pressure to the QB to force a bad pass or covered the other receivers to where your man was the best option? Field goals and punt yards (kickers are people too damnit)? Who got you the ball and made sure you didn't get wrecked while you did your silly leg swing thing? Basically what my points boil down to is individual success is a lie and teamwork makes the dream work. And what is that dream you ask? Wins baby, wins.
