Vote in Field Gulls' Ginormous End of the Year Poll
SBN is holding their own end-of-season polls this year, for which I've already voted. And so should we here at Field Gulls. Because there's nothing I love more than having an excuse to use Excel spreadsheets for something other their diet management.
So here we go! I'd like your votes for this year's stand-out -- and sit-down -- performers during the regular season.
I'd like to use point system for the polls, so my idea is this:
(1) Enter your top three picks for each of the below categories. Ranked 1-2-3.
(2) Send them to me at fieldgulls at earthlink dot net no later than Wednesday, Jan. 3. To give you this weekend's games if you want.
(3) I will divide the points - 3 for first, 2 for second, 1 for third -- and tally up the final winners. In a special presentation, we'll hand out the awards the weekend of the first playoff games.
Also, you can make comments on your picks if you like. Perhaps we'll publish the best ones. Your Field Gulls screen name would be helpful, as well.
(Obviously, we won't use your e-mail for any other purpose than this poll. We don't sell it to third parties or anything. Sometimes we chant your e-mail addresses to conjure up dead spirits, but that's as far as it goes. It's totally safe. Your info will not be retained by me personally.)
This is league-wide -- we'll have our own Seahawks poll at the end of their playoff run. So even though you might feel Josh Brown deserves MVP -- well, big picture, if ya don't mind.
And now, the categories:
- Most Valuable Player
- Offensive Player of the Year
- Defensive Player of the Year
- Coach of the Year
- Comeback Player of the Year
- Special Teams Player of the Year
- Offensive Rookie of the Year
- Defensive Rookie of the Year
- Worst Player of the Year
- Worst Coach of the Year
- Worst Defensive Player
I was also thinking about things like "Play of the Year" and "Game of the Year." How do you folks feel about that?
Anyway. There you go. List away, amigos.
[editor's note, by Shrug] This is not a contest. We're just polling you for your opinions. We will then tally up all the results and publish them here.

Before everyone reflexively picks Brown...
It says a lot about our special teams play that between Brown's heroics and Burleson's theatrics that Plack will be forgotten by most casual fans, but in the field position battle Plack has been an ubermench.
worst player of the year
WOOPS, wrong sport...actually he still gets my vote.
Play of the year to me
So are we trying to match what other people said
and how do we win?

It's a free-for-all.
*doing shatner from family guy*
My fiancee is sick, so I'm home watching David...
Anyhow, with short explanation...
MVP: Tomlinson, and this is why: Manning is year in year out a better offensive player. Without Manning the Colts have the top ten, maybe top five, draft pick. But with him they likely won't make it through the second round in the playoffs. Without Tomlinson the Chargers are maybe 7-9, 8-8 or 9-7, missing the playoffs. With him they are Super Bowl favorites. As a fan, the Tomlinson performance strikes me as the more Valuable.
OPY: Fittingly the Opie award goes to the guy so white bread he could light an office building. See MVP.
DPY: Jason Taylor, hands down. 9 FF, 2 INT; that's 11 TOs directly from the DE spot.
Coach: Tricky one to be analytical with, got to give it to Sean Payton for turning the lowly Saints into a dark horse Super Bowl contender.
Comeback: Drew Brees. He may not have missed time, but his recovery from a career killing shoulder injury is nothing short of amazing.
ST: Love Brown but the nod goes to Devin Hester. The guy has been bottled offense on a team that badly needs it. Telling Stat: 11 punt returns of 20+ yards.
O Rookie: Marques Colston. My reasoning, #1 WR > HB.
D Rookie: Ravens RE Haloti Ngata. The Ravens defense averages a league best 1.98 rushing yards against off of Right End. Ngata is exactly the kind of player who gets no press but is hugely valuable for his ability to collapse an offensive line.
Worst Player?: Don't know, maybe Andrew Walter, but that whole O is dross.
Coach?: Art Shell. The thing that people don't realize about Oakland is that they have a strong, relatively young, defense. Art Shell was never a great coach and Football has badly passed him by.
Defensive?: Can we just say the w(hole) Colt's run D and call it a night?
