Warrior General Games

Adam Avalanche wins by one vote over Denver LastDinosaur. Offensive Player of the year was too close to call.

I vote for Scace

I believe you misunderstood the concept although SCACE probably has contributed more to this forum than any other by far. btw, what connection do you have to Oceania Pro?

Although I won't argue his accomplishments, he's not really a backup. He gets the lion's share of passes on a team that throws A LOT. He'd get my vote for WR of the year, but not MVP. Us WR's can't throw the ball to ourselves, and as such I find it hard for us to make such an individual impact on a game. Look at Dash's game against us (West Scranton). He had pretty good stats, but his team lost by a lot.

My vote for MVP, as the player having the greatest impact on the success of his team, is West Scranton's Adam Avalanche. He is single-handedly blowing teams up, and in important games, too. I don't think any one player in the OPL has had that kind of impact.

I have to nominate Samoa's DC Rambo. I know that people will scream homer pick and all at me, but without Rambo, Samoa is not a playoff team this season. When our QB went into a pretty major slump, Rambo kept running and kept us in things until our QB could pull out of it. WSI without Adam would not be nearly the same as Samoa without Rambo.

Of course WSI would still be awesome; it would still have me!!

I agree with everything in this post... including the nomination.

I know I ran out of time for the POTW thread, just became too much work for 1 person to do. I think next season, I'd like to break it up by week with a few other people. One, it breaks up the work. Two, it gets different opinions other than my own involved.

That said, I will say that right now, my top positional candidates are as follows:

Offense - Alpha

- Danny Meehan, HB, Mean Machine
- "Dan the Man" Marino, QB, Mean Machine
- Jimmy Sneeze, WR, Brantford Mustangs

Offense - Zeta

- King Stones, QB, Banzai Pipeline 'Nites
- Mat Anderson, HB, So Cal BDC
- Brian Butts, WR, Cook Island Convicts

Defense - Alpha

- Adam Avalanche, DT, West Scranton Invaders
- Courtney Arrington, LB, Fiji Sea Turtles (one of two non-playoff team selections)
- Amanda Hugginkiss, CB, Tonga Ikale Tahi

Defense - Zeta

- Willie Dobson, DE, Brisbane Heat
- Denver LastDinosaur, ROLB, So Cal BDC
- Hal Arris, CB, Samoa Gangsters

Kicker / Punter - Alpha

- Sgt. Slaughter, K, Brantford Mustangs
- Ben Allbright, P, Canberra Strike

Kicker / Punter - Zeta

- Adam Vahanian, K, Vanuatu Kava Sharks
- Zoltan Conroy, P, Jersey Wildcats (two of two non-playoff team selections)

And in terms of overall MVP, my top 3 in no particular order:

Defense

- Adam Avalanche, DT, West Scranton Invaders
- Denver LastDinosaur, ROLB, So Cal BDC
- Hal Arris, CB, Samoa Gangsters

Offense

- Mat Anderson, HB, So Cal BDC
- DC Rambo, HB, Samoa Gangsters
- Jimmy Sneeze, WR, Brantford Mustangs

Overall

- Adam Avalanche, DT, West Scranton Invaders
- Denver LastDinosaur, ROLB, So Cal BDC
- Adam Vahanian, K, Vanuatu Kava Sharks

---------

As of now, my overall vote is undecided. I'll make it after Week 16 games.

- Denver LastDinosaur, ROLB, So Cal BDC
gets my vote, although it mostly the scheme, he is doing it perfectly

For the hell of it, I should explain why I chose Sneeze over Parr:

Parr: 101 catches, 2841 yards, 28.1 yards per catch, 11.2 yards after the catch, 36 TD's, 16 drops (86.3% catch rate)

Sneeze: 137 catches, 2133 yards, 15.6 yards per catch, 5.3 yards after the catch, 25 TD's, 8 drops (94.4% catch rate)

You could easily make a case for either of these guys, and there are others that you could make a case for as well. The fact that Parr was a "backup" doesn't hold water with me -- receivers have always thrived in GLB out of the 3-hole, and this season out of the 4-hole as well it seemed.

For me, the 36 more receptions and the amazing catch rate were the difference.

How about special teamers? Returners need love too.

Also I believe Caleb has the biggest stats for punt returning in Zeta.

what about offensive linemen and Fullbacks and Tight Ends and Safeties? Not a single one has been mentioned. There's just not enough love to go around it seems.

Noone really stood out at returner this season when you remove the gut games.
