Best performance: Week 5 at Baltimore, 24/34, 287 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 8 sacks taken, 50 yards lost, 1 rush for 0 yards (5.98)

Aside from getting mixed up which defense to suck against and which one to destroy, Christ's season went fairly decently. His amazingly bad game in Week 11 was actually the 5th worst single performance I've seen by TANY/A, though I just skimmed through my logs, so may have missed one. His complete lack of mobility cost him a lot of sacks, leading the league with 53 despite the fewest drop backs for a sack percentage of 10%. It's worth noting that he has finally started improving his speed and agility as opposed to maxing his passing abilities, so I am pretty sure he'll see a huge improvement next year. In addition, Oles and Flash should be able to break off a lot more big plays, and he'll have another capable WR with Justice, so his touchdowns should more than double, and Canton will have enough endurance to be a 4th quarter threat. All in all, he should easily add about 1.75 yards per play to his average.

All right, someone teach these rooks that Baltimore is supposed to be the tough defense, and Yellowknife and San Jose the easy ones. What amazes me is how much lower Falconi's sack rate was. I wonder how much of that is due to Achilles Hondo, who has been touted as a poor investment but just might have been the secret ingredient to Falconi's success. Still, that was a phenomenal season, being sacked only half as often as her rookie competition. Despite having a very capable rusher in Marquise Brown, Falconi took on a pretty large role and handled it well enough to keep hope alive in Philadelphia. Next year, improvement from Bush, Hasselhoff, Von Matt, and Batoff will allow Falconi to throw all day against poor coverage. As for Falconi herself, she's building fairly balanced, and will likely continue with across the board improvement. Despite being significantly ahead of Christ, I am still expecting a full 1.5 yards per play improvement. The Philly offense will be too deep and Falconi too devoid of weakness.

When your top 3 receivers are a rookie runningback, a retiring wide receiver, and a tight end, the expectations are going to be low. And I mean retiring literally. I'm not implying Bailey Cook is an introvert. That said, his game against San Jose was the 11th-best single game performance in league history, cementing Pennington in history for something positive. Next year, Parker and Summer should be a capable 1 and 2, and Taylor will likely replace Lavelle as the 2 way player. All in all, I am expecting an only marginal improvement, as Pennington himself will not get better, just the offense around him.

First off, quick plug for the S11 Fitz v Biz article here: http://nsfl.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=11122
I think there's some really decent analysis in there. So far, Showbiz is my favorite QB, because his best game was against the worst defense, and his worst against the best. Thanks for making sense. His 676 plays was second in the league, which may have been too ambitious, but he was still able to catch up to and pass Pennington, and is on a significant upward trend, possibly enough to pass McCormick next year.

If 616 attempts from Showbiz was too ambitious, then 635 for McCormick was ridiculous. I'm guessing the logic was that since his endurance was so high, he could pass all day and not get tired, which seemed to be the case, but unfortunately the same wasn't true of his receivers. Getting 1921 yards through the air without Miller or Aaron is a pretty tall order, and naturally McCormick struggled. One area he did not struggle was avoiding sacks. His top tier OL led him to the fewest sacks ever taken over the first 10 seasons, and all while dropping back 656 times. Next season, McCormick should actually improve quite a bit, shoring up some weak spots in his build that his position change forced on him. However, the loss of Fox North and Dwayne Aaron (in no order) will set him back more.

If you just look at his pass attempts, then it seems Fitzpatrick wasn't asked to do much, but he was second in the league in rushing attempts. In addition, lack of a reliable run game meant that, despite Arizona being 5th in points scored, they were tied for last in rushing TDs, so Fitz was the one called on when it mattered most.

If you want my vote for QBotY, here it is. Maximus led the league in passing yards and rushing yards, and only barely missed leading the league in efficiency. His 7.5 yards per carry is the second-best in league history. Only Blocksdale has done better (and had only half the attempts). He is very unlikely to repeat in S12, as Charlie Law will no longer be on the team, and DiMirio will be a shell.

When Applehort moved to Baltimore, I predicted he would have a career rushing year. Man, was that understated. Over his first 4 seasons, Applehort rushed for 96 yards. He rushed for 281 this year. However, the biggest surprise was his 16 sacks, making him one of two QBs to break the record for fewest taken in a season. Applehort did have the slightly lower sack percentage. Next year, the league's top fantasy receiver Trey Willie will likely be on another team, but Nagasawa will be called up and Valentine, L'Alto and Harp will all be improved. In addition, Owen Taylor will be far less effective, forcing Applehort to increase his volume. I think his efficiency will slightly improve, but not significantly.
