The Cases Against

Hah. Now you're on to something. Really though the LT thing brings up a good point why part of me doesn't want to have any sort of trophy for best offensive lineman. Someone who lines up at guard just isn't going to get the same stats, but could really be a bigger asset to their team (I might switch to guard, depending on what the Otters offensive line looks like next season). So the top offensive lineman is really just the top offensive tackle in all reality. Am I really better than all the dudes starting at center or guard? Probably not. Do I deserve special recognition for it? Probably not.

Without film to be able to be like "oh wow that guy blocks really well" were stuck using counting stats for analysis. I guess that's a failing in stats - there are probably some slot recievers who are their teams go to guy on 3rd and 8 but that's not going to show up on the statline - I don't have the depth chart access to know for sure but I'd be willing to bet all the leading recievers are outside guys, and probably on one side. Omar and Leroy have the same problem for the Otters - they share touches which means each one will have lower numbers.

Basically anyone who joined the NSFL looking for OLine glory probably came to the wrong place. It's not necessarily bad unless we lose activity and great contributors because of it.
