I'm a newbie, so I guess I'll start with just one.

Best Defense & Best Front 7: Seattle Seahawks

 

Best Offensive Line: Pittsburgh
Best Secondary: Houston
Team On The Rise: Cleveland
Best Offensive Weapons: Pittsburgh, Philadelphia
Fued Of The Year: Phinsational vs Paul13
Best Offense: Pittsburgh


Will make another post for the rest of my nominations later. I'd have nominated myself for a vouple if I could LMAO.

I have a new idea for an award as well. Maybe too late this year but how about a "Most balanced team" in other words one where both sides of yhe ball are solid instead of going all out one way or another.

 

I want to preface this by saying that I want to spread the votes around because everyone likes being nominated for categories and alot of people deserve shout outs. Also there were quite a few teams that I thought did a very solid job of rebuilding their team, but not necessarily the best in any category.

Team on the Rise: New York Jets - Buffalo Bills - Jacksonville Jaguars

Team Built for Now: Tennesee Titans - Cleveland Browns - Cincinnati Bengals

Trade of the Year: Packers/Rams (Stafford/Rodgers)

Best Offensive Weapons: Tennesse Titans - San Francisco 49ers - San Diego Chargers

I don't think that I'd the same at all :lol:

Also its his right but damn Oakland, Baltimore, Arizona EVERYTHING?

 

i dont like this, im starting to get my feelings hurt.:tongue2:

 

Hey, you got 2 nominations from me! Honestly I would have also nominated your team for offensive weapons had you not traded Cobb (although I believe that traded netted you Liuget, which gave you my nomation for front 7)

 

Thank you! actually, i was kidding though. this is kinda of fun and a bit humbling at the same time.

 

We need two more categories: Most Improved Team andBest Team Depth

Most Improved Team is a must IMO and should fall secondary in hierarchy only to GM of Year. It's only fair to have an award based on how well GMs specifically did with the team they inherited irrespective of how their finished product stacks up against the rest of the league. Basically, who did the best job of taking what they got and made it better across the board in true NFL fashion? This would be great and better motivating for GMs who are given bottom tier teams, heavily cap strung ones,
or ones with less trade ammo to make an impact.

Best Team Depth would be important as well, IMO, not just b/c of injury but also because it represents the future of the team, especially with FA eventually kicking some higher priced players to the curb.

 

I'd also have put you in the weapons category and still may, I need to edit my post to fully vote.

My only issue is like he said moving Cobb and I think you took a step back at HB.

 

I definetly agree with Best Team Depth. Like I mentioned in my nomiations post there are teams that did a very good job overall, but they don't have the best in any particular category.

For the overall best GM award, I don't vote who necessarily finished with the best team. I take into account the team that the GM acquired (I remember last year I voted for Jacksonville, who didn't have the best overall team, but did the best job), so this award wouldn't be much different for me.

 

I place a huge importance on team depth when I vote for the team categories already myself, fwiw.

 

Filling in a couple missed nom's:

Trade of the Year Absolutely Has To Be The Cleveland Gordon Steamer:

San Francisco Sends:
Michael Crabtree ($4,770,443)
1st (30)
2nd (61)
3rd (75 (from RAMS))
7th (219)
7th (220)

Browns Send:
Josh Gordon ($1,456,813)

In a one year league to get that kind of a haul for someone who will not even play the year..................damn.

Best Offensive Weapons:

Eagles - Deserve at least a nomination. 4 Nice Receivers, Solid running backs and TE's.

 

These were all tough choices because a lot of GMs did a great job. I mostly only gave noms on things like FA and Trades to people that listed that information (or at least color coded them) on their post.
