Since no one else decided to make one and I'm bored I'll go ahead and put one up. These are my decisions so feel free to argue and whatnot it won't hurt my feelings.

Offense

QB

Johnny American - Tripoli
7500 yards 100 TDs and after fixing an early season int problem he only threw 4 ints over his last 10 games. Led his team to the number one seed in Elephant

Mack Strongarm - Revenge
The other obvious choice. Almost 7200 yards and 88 TDs. Lived up to his last name and helped transform a team that lost 7 games last year into one of the dominant teams in Elephant.

RB

Sapp Tooslow - MaRawk!!o
The only truly dominant RB in the pass happy Elephant conference. Put up almost 3000 yards rushing and 10 ypc and 55 total TDs.

Drill Bit - MaRawk!!o
The other half of MaRawk!!o's rushing attack. Edges out Dakar's Stephen Knoxville because Bit proved he was a more well rounded RB. On top of his 1800+ rushing yards and 35 TDs he pulled in 93 receptions showing his versatility in the passing game as well.

FB

McAnderson Brandon - Revenge
In a league with no real standout FBs Brandon does. He put up 750 yards rushing and 18 TDs to go along with his 36 pancakes.

WR

Tristan Bennett - Tripoli
No surprise to find Johhny American's favorite target here. He had huge games all season and was only held out of the endzone 3 times all year. Over 3000 yards receiving and 48 TDs.

Jerry Ricecakes - Iowa
Iowa's leading receiver. The man knows how to find the endzone. Second in the league with 35 TDs and also had over 2100 yards receiving.

Limas Q-spit-Q - Happy Hour
Put up big numbers all year for the team that knows how to party cost effectively. Over 2100 yards receiving and 23 TDs.

TE

Big Sitton - E'ci
Best TE in the league pulled down 76 receptions for 960 yards and 17 TDs. Made sure opposing defenses had to gameplan for him every game or he would burn you.

OL

Gangsta Blocka (G) - MaRawk!!o
Mauled opposing D Linemen all season long for the leagues best rushing attack.

Zurin E'ci (G) - E'ci
Another big nasty who helped pave the way for his team to move the ball.

Mount Thug (T) - Iowa
The LOT for the team who allowed the second least amount of sacks. I'm sure he was a big part of this and deserves to be mentioned.

Robert "Bob" Paulson (T) - Tripoli
The LOT for the Terror who's team allowed the least sacks all season while also passing for the most yards.

Tony Grim (C) - Iowa
The big man in the middle of Iowa's line. Had 90 pancakes and helped push defenses around all season.

Defense

DT

Christian Arceneaux - Ethiopia
A beast who might get overlooked because he plays for a losing team. Don't ignore him when game planning though. Had 122 tackles good for third in the league as well as 59 hurries and 7 passes defensed showing his versatility from the DL position.

McClinton James - Revenge
Made it nearly impossible to run up the middle on the Revenge. The big man clogged up all the holes and made plays all season long. 88 tackles, 6 sacks, and 47 TFLs. The stats speak for themselves

DE

Tanner Maxwell - Tripoli
My personal favorite player on the team. Continued his dominance making every team account for him. 106 tackles and 67 sacks and didn't even play against the CPU team.

Max Kolbe - Iowa
One half of Iowa's great pass rush. Put up 85 tackles and 49 sacks. Made sure to cause problems for opposing offenses all season long.

LB

Adrian Caparzo - Revenge
81 tackles, 15 sacks, and 2 ints show that Caparzo can do it all on the defensive side.

Junk Needs To Be Recycled - Happy Hour
Made all the tackles for Happy Hour and also showed he could handle his own in pass coverage by having 26 PDs.

Hammerhead Slayer - Cairo
A bright spot on the over matched Cairo D. Had over 100 tackles while also defending 20 passes and scoring a defensive TD.

CB

Press To Impress - Revenge
Led the league in ints with 21 and scored 9 defensive TDs. Also showed he wasn't afraid of making a tackle by recording 106 of them as well. With 136 PDs to add to his int total it would be wise to avoid passing to his side in the playoffs.

Circuit Breaker - E'ci
Finished second in the league with 18 ints. Breaker was the leagues other truly dominant CB. He also ran 6 of those back for scores. And he added 6 sacks to his resume for good measure. He can impact the game in more ways than one.

Dominik The Dragon - NWO
Had an excellent season for a team who just missed out on the playoffs. Pulled in 11 ints and had 53 PDs. If you were going to try and throw on NWO it was wise to avoid his side of the field.

SS

Jason Nickewitz - Iowa
Followed up his previous breakout season with another great season. Led all safeties with 8 ints. Showing up big against Tripoli with 3 in that game alone. Also had 87 tackles and 35 PDs.

Quick Guy Kamikaze - Dakar
Had a big season for Dakar. Had 129 tackles to go along with his 5 ints and 3 FFs.

FS

Josh Krist - Ocho Cinco
Had an excellent season playing center field for the Ocho Cinco. Improved all of his numbers from the previous year despite playing in a much tougher league. Had 66 tackles and 4 ints.

L. Asante - Whiskey Tango
Another player who had a quiet yet good season. It's hard to get noticed when playing for a losing team but Asante put up solid numbers, 76 tackles and 3 ints. He also scored 2 defensive TDs on the season. Did all of this while playing away from his natural SS position.

P

Larry Seiple - Cairo
Led the league with a 44.1 yard average.

K

Christopher Ferraway - Iowa
Didn't miss any XPs all season long. Also connected on half of his FG attempts of over 50 yards and only missed one FG under 50 yards all season long. He was a guaranteed 3 points for Iowa once they got in his FG range.

KR

Roy Jones - MaRawk!!o
Led the Conference with a 30 KR Avg. Also took one return to the house.

PR

Nate Manley - Iowa
Scored a ridiculous 13 TDs from punt returns. Also had almost a 1000 more return yards than the second place finisher.

Sorry if I missed any deserving players. I tried my best and if anyone notices any glaring omissions I will be glad to edit the post and add them to the team under my discretion.

Thanks for the Tony Grimm love, never expected that. I dun like that you picked 2 RE's for DE though. Should have RE and LE positions because they truely are 2 different positions. I swear it has nothing to do with my player being a LE

The final talley...

Tripoli: 3 (including the possible MvP Tanner)

Revenge: 5 (I would put press to impress at tanner's best competition for MvP)

MaRawk!!o 4 (very impressive considering they deservedly filled both HB spots)

Iowa: 7 (Ferraway with his 2nd in a row and probably Nickewitz's last appearance)

Happy Hour: 2

E'ci: 3 (Sitton and Breaker are mainstays in the probowl)

Ethiopia: 1 (excellent job from the inside arc)

Cairo: 2 (these both from the same Cairo I dont have time to check)

NWO: 1

Dakar: 1

Ocho Cinco: 1

Whiskey Tango: 1

Lemme know if I got any of the totals wrong.

The offensive line was hard for me to do because I'm not a GM and don't really watch many games. So I just kind of picked players from teams who had good seasons.

Also I didn't even pay attention to the amount of players from each team. I'm glad you figured that out because it's pretty interesting to see.

Very well done. I would try to argue for more Terror love but you made a very solid case for every pick. You killed my arguement before it even started

good stuff man! Thanks for the love for Robert 'Bob' Paulson. I figured he would be overlooked due to his lack of pancakes.

Like Dilpete said I would try to argue that some more players from the Terror should get love, particularly our run stuffing DT's but your picks are really hard to argue against.

I understand why Terror didnt get as many picks. It's because the Terror's success was from a huge team effort. There were only a few standouts but the entire team was very very solid. It's not an insult to be that successful and only have a few players in the spotlight.

For example: Imagine if myself or Max were to either one get all get all of the sacks rather than share them. Tanner would have some very serious competition for best DE in Elephant then. Also our defensive success is pretty balanced because sometimes the secondary gets us our sacks, while we're sometimes responsible for their picks.

If someone wants to take the time to give out awards that would be cool.

I do need to put in some love for our FB. I know he doesn't put up stats, but he is really good. He always jumps in the whole and blocks somebody that needs blocking. He was a huge part of the running attack this year despite the fact that we don't give the FB the ball very often.

Once agian, not big stats, but watch him on the replays. Good work.

I did consider your FB for the team due to how dominant your rushing attack was. In the end though I just decided to go with the only FB in our conference who actually put up stats. So don't worry he wasn't completely ignored.

And DLee Press was probably the easiest choice for team. He had a hell of a year.

Cool to see Max get some love. Thanks man, but Tanner was beasting this year. I have followed him closely all season long and saw him make some plays that I thought would be impossible otherwise. Overall I totally agree with your list, but I feel Vigilante Justice and our secondary needs some props as well. They opened up alot of holes for Max. Our defense in general was a complete team effort. Even more so now. =)
