Offensive Comparison:
When comparing two playoff teams the first comparison almost always has to start with the quarterbacks. Chris Orosz and Scrub Kyubee are very similar as quarterbacks right down to size. The 6'5" Orosz hails from Chicago and is exactly what you want in a franchise pocket passer. He has the IQ to call the right plays and the arm to go with it, the coach might want some more agility out of the big man but it isn't holding him back. Kyubee is the Canadian counterpart and he has more or less the same skill set as Orosz but he does lack some arm strength. Statistically Orosz was far and away the better of the two, he led the league in quite a few of the major passing categories like yards, passing percentage and quarterback rating. However that could be because of the supporting cast that the Wraiths have acquired, including their mid season trade for stud WR Cook, or it could just be the growing pains of a young quarterback. While Kyubee did not lead the league in any of the passer categories he was still a top 5 slinger and has room to improve next season. Will any of this matter come playoff time? You never really know and that is why we all love football!
Defensive Comparison:
No team would be a playoff team without a bonafide starting cornerback and both the Hawks and Wraiths boast two of the premier young dbs. Darnell Turner and Dermot Lavalle have had a healthy rivalry as rookie backs and very similar rookie seasons. Lavaelle being the smaller of the two corners would inherently be the better playmaker on the ball and the slightly bigger Turner would be the better tackler in most minds but their stats tell a different story. Turner led all rookie defensive backs in passes defended with 16 and even had 3 interceptions to go with it but only put up 47 tackles, which while respectable was 11 short of Lavalle. Along with this 58 tackles Lavalle had 4 picks and 15 swats. You wouldn't be able to say which player had the better season without looking at more advanced stats but either way you can't go wrong with either one. During individual drills Dermot had the edge in the agility drills but Darnell had a definite advantage in straight line speed. During catching drills both players were impressive but you couldn't notice either one pulling away and ditto the tackling drills. Where you noticed a huge discrepancy was the strength testing, Lavalle was a beast with the weights and that could explain his higher tackling ability.
