Congratulations to the 2011 GM League winners... I know all of you worked very hard on your rosters and I am sure you all believe you have one of the best teams (as you should) so don't be discouraged if you didn't win an award. I have full intentions to sim one season using this roster in Madden 2012 so it'll be something else to look forward to. I would make banners for all the winners, but I have a lot going on this month... I'll try to come up with something by the end of the month, however other graphic artists (hint-hint, GISH/VO) are more than welcome to come up with something of their own if they want... I would definitely appreciate it. Thanks again for a successful 2011 GM League and I look forward to next years league... here's to a good season of football for us and a ****ty season of football for schisno (stupid Pats fan).

Thanks for the bulletin board material for the Dolphins this year group, we are going to let Danny Amendola drop-kick FG's lat in the game after being up 20 on your asses!
In all seriousness the BEST GM won GM of the Year hands down...although how in the FLOCK was Paul below Alen, Me, or Skeet? Yall dudes is crazy!
Also Finsbuck as a first year GM deserved ALOT more love than you guys gave him, look real close next time at what that rookie GM did with the worst team in the league last year.
Also how do you not name Atlanta best WR tandem? Miles Austin, Mike Wallace and Desean Jackson!!! Baffled by that aswell....one day you will all be as smart as me and vote accordingly.UCFinfan86, Boik14, Paul 13 and 1 other person like this. -
I agree about Finbuck, as well, a lot of the young guys did really, really well for their first years. A lot better than my first year were I traded Asomugha for Matt Schaub lol. The future of the GM League looks bright with all of the rookies.
I also agree about the WR tandem, as well. I would take Miles Austin, Mike Wallace, DeSean Jackson, and Greg Olsen over Andre Johnson, Roddy White, Davone Bess, and Fred Davis. If the Falcons are in 2nd place in the voting here I will Officially Rescind the Best WR tandem award and give it to the Falcons. He deserved to win that award; all those speedy WRs on the field with Rapelessburger is just dangerous.UCFinfan86, Boik14 and Paul 13 like this. -
Am I disappointed for being shutout? Of course, I'm highly competitve, but it's okay, I'll get over it :lol: ... However, let me just say I'm a lot more disappointed by the lack of GM's voting! By my highly unofficial count, only 17 of 32 GM's voted. Now, I know there were some GM's who fell by the way side but I also know there are some GM's who are highly participatory who apparently chose not to vote. Some were voted in several categories and I'm sorry but that just rubs me the wrong way.
Anyway, look forward to the Madden sim GIK, thanks for setting that up with your busy schedule ahead (or perhaps not so busy now that you are graduating, Congrats on that!!). I'm curious to see how everyone does in the simulation. For those of us that don't buy Madden, are you just going to post the results here or is there a Madden forum that can accomodate that?
Thank you to all of those that voted for me in whatever category you did. For those of you that didn't, I'm just glad you voted :up:
Lastly, big congrats to all the winners especially UCF Finatic for winning GM of the Year. That's twice in three years. Quite an accomplishment. Sorry for all the ribbing in my thread, it obviously had no affect on the vote... actually it probably helped you if anything. :lol: -

I'm also mind boggled at how Atlanta didn't get the best WR tandem.
And how did Miami not win either the best defense or best secondary award? With all do respect to the Packers (they did a great job in the GML), I don't see how a team that has a rookie starting at CB + Morgan Burnett starting (who only has played in 4 NFL games) can win the best secondary award. I thought for sure the Lions or Dolphins would win the best secondary award.
Congrats though, everyone. It was fun league.UCFinfan86 and Paul 13 like this. -
I also agree with Paul, that voting is part of the game, why do it if you are not going to see it through?Paul 13 likes this. -

Yes there should be a huge gap between Wallace and Bess but as a pure slot WR we all know hes a machine. Plus, Jackson going across the middle.....

In the end, you build your team the way you want and then use the writeup at the end to persuade people. It’s flawed, but nothing’s perfect. -

Thanks for all the hard work Griddles, and thanks to everyone for another great GM League season. This might have been the best yet. Can't wait to see how the sim goes.

I wanted to vote, but to be honest I didn't pay enough attention to everything where I felt I would be making an accurate decision. I did learn a lot about the league this year, and next season I should be better prepared.

Here is my reaction in regards to the Madden sim:

For starters I would assume Atlanta wouldnt put Desean in the slot rather keep him outside and let Miles Austin go over the middle because THAT guy plays like he just dont give a ----. IT was close but I think Atlanta had the best corp.
For the record imo it goes....
Fitz, AJ, Austin, White, D-Jack, Jennings, Wallace, Bess, Hester
Whats the median?? Dont know but all of those WR's are pretty damn good. Also the Giants Corps wasnt far behind those groups either.
Its an imperfect system and I know we ALL dont look at things the same way but I feel like Paul and Finsbuck deserved better. I got shutout and while I feel like my RB's could form a nasty combo I cant argue someone else won. Defensive Line? I think top to bottom I had the best because the depth was there.
Anyway the Madden will show a few things, it wont be perfect but neither are we.
Without thinking too hard I see a Pats/Falcons SB (only because they may not have the young beasts PHI has rated high). Me? Ill say 11-5 wild card.Paul 13 likes this. -
Very close between the 1st 2, 2nd 2, and 3rd 2 though. -

I think you guys are underestimating Austin a tad. He is a much more rounded WR than Jennings imo.

Whoa, second place? I played this year and didn't expect to win anything ... so it's cool that you guys recognized my work. I'm also glad everyone liked my draft, defense, and running backs. Pretty cool to get some recognition.
And all you guys talking smack about the Madden sim just keep talking. I'll just keep quiet over here with my underrated team. -
