What about a seperate "Shutdown Corner" Award. I know my CB doesnt get the stats because they've only thrown his way 13 times this year through 7 games. Of those 13 he's deflected 11, Intercepted 1 and allowed 1 completion and even then he was covering the WR, the TE and the Fb in the flats. This may hard to track, but we could nominate one per team and then narrow it down. It may not be my guy who gets it, but i know there are other CB's out there who are good at shutting thier side of the ball down(including run stopping) but wont ever see an award. Champ Bailey is considered one of the best CB's of all time and his stats will never show it. Just an idea.
Oh god, not this discussion again
We do not have the stats we need to prove this kind of stuff at this point. We would have to watch every single play of every single game to see how many times the corner has been thrown to, how many of those passes were caught, etc. I don't think there will be a need for a separate trophy when we get these stats -- you'll just vote for who you think is the best. Plus, there's still the argument I made last year -- is it fair to penalize the players on teams with good corners all around? People have to pass somewhere and all. Not to mention, teams that get ahead early will have all of their corners getting tons of passes tossed their way due to the catch-up AI.
No offense intended at all to Papeete, since I think you all are cool guys, but you really haven't blown anyone out this year, so there will be less passes in general thrown your way. Teams that get ahead early will have more passes thrown against them.Sorry i wouldnt have brought it up had i known it was already discussed
