Warrior General Games

For the first time in a long time, there are more RBs than QBs in the HoF top 10.

Current (4/17, 3:42 PM ET) Standings

1. Jimbo Jumpback - HB, Minnesota Stunners
2. Saul Silver - QB, Djibouti Assassins
3. Super Gamble - HB, Queen City Brewmasters
4. Yukiko Amagi - QB, Harrisonburg Bulldogs
5. Imani Cross* - HB, Minnesota Stunners
6. Sugar Honey Ice Tea - QB, Run Defenders
7. Cleveland Brown - QB, Air Raid
8. Bo Jackson - HB, Queen City Brewmasters
9. Rin Tin Tin - HB, Long Island Knights
10. Ben London - HB, Minnesota Balanced Raid

Secret passing nerf in the offseason. Only explanation.

Although 4 of the RBs are Queen City/Minnesota Stunners, lol.

I CAN'T WAIT until the OL nerf finally makes its way to Vet, should help slow down run games a bit

7 of those won't be in Vet next season. Possibly 8. A massive amount of top end offensive weapons leaving. Have any WR's/TE's ever been in the Top 10?

Mid season doesn't really mean anything.


if it is still like that toward the end of the season we'll see.

If they scaled back current values like they said they did the nerf is already in vet.

thought bort had said "scale it over the next few seasons to equalize" or something

S9, S8, and S4 were only seasons a WR has finished top 10

Highest ever for a WR is #7... Season 8 Trey Dukes and Season 4 Randall Cobb

a TE has never finished top 10

Season 4 was mostly due to that glitch in route covering and a number of guys got close with WR screen spam. Probably won't be seeing a WR in the top 5 ever.

Are you certain it's not impacting QBs via more pressure just as badly? Passing seems to have been supressed a good bit more this season. Are the new plays just that much better pass defense plays than what we had before?

It wasn't really the OL which were the killers in pure run teams, it was the blocking WRs, and the untackleable HBs

Is that even true? I see it here on the HOF ranking -- but other than Air Raid...every other passing team seems to be generally unaffected this season compared to last.

It's not like anyone other than Air Raid appears to have had the wheels fall off is it?

To your first question, doubtful considering the low numbers being used for pass blocking. It may impact where teams like DA and RD need to take their caps in the future but at this point neither team runs that much anyways.

To your second question, yes they most certainly are better than most anything we have had and when used in combination with the better plays we already have had you can suppress a good amount of plays.

Saul's numbers are down too.

Air Raid's are more explainable by attrition. We don't have the roster we've had in the past.

In any event, just a gut feeling. We're not going to see a season from anyone like Saul had last season, which ought to kinda point to the maximal reach of the passing offense having been somewhat diminished for whatever reason.
