*The Awards Committee Sux Lmap

[frithjofr]

A nominee such as Ugarth the Dissector just had Wayne Howyanow’s season, but worse (Ugarth had 8 fewer tackles, 2 fewer TFLs, one more forced fumble and 0 defensive TDs to Howyanow’s 1).

I think part of the consideration was that Ugarth was a first gen rookie. Also, to some of your other points, if you wanted the award to go to the guys who gets the most tackles, then why even vote on it? Why not just give the linebacker with the most tackles the award every season? And yes, often times in awards situations you can have players who had similar seasons, that's not a failure of the voters.
