It would just decrease our work load. If you have a way to prevent bias/vote copying I'll vote for it. Until then I don't think there's any reason to change the system.

just make it a google form or something like that, so people cant see what other people are voting for and have to do their own research.

The problem is you're a Safety playing Linebacker. Is it fair to the LBs to give LBotY to a someone who isn't actually a LB? Or is it fair to the DBs to give the DBotY to someone who didn't play DB? The same thing happened to me in S5 when my RB playing most of his snaps at WR didn't win RBotY or WRotY.

These type of situations are why OPotY/DPotY awards are great. You were the best overall defensive player despite not fitting the criteria of any traditional position award.

I voted for you @Trautner. So... yeah.

We added a defensive flex spot for players exactly like Grithead.

we tried that last year, problem is that being in a google sheet, even if its visible to everyone, led to less discussion about awards it seemed. and also doesnt fix bias

we've done that in the past but i didn't get around to making a form for this past offseason... so yeah my fault there

but as Dwyer said, not sure if the benefits are really there
