Season 1
Winner: YKW RB Bubba Nuck
277 Carries, 1217 Yards, 4.4 Avg, 6 TD, 1 Rec TD
Offenses were somewhat limited in the inaugural NSFL season. Only 2 quarterbacks averaged more than 200 yards per game, and the top mark in QB Rating was 77.6. And this wasn't due to overly heavy running offenses either, as there were only two 1000 yard rushers. All in all teams averaged 17.8 points per game, significantly lower than the 20.4 per game in S22.
Among the S1 quarterbacks, Nuck's YKW teammate Chris Orosz (leader in QB rating) and Arizona's V. Draxel (leader in yards and TD, Outlaws finished with tied for best record) had the best case for MVP. Despite the anemic passing totals, teams seemingly relied heavily on their primary targets, as seven wide receivers had over 900 yards. Another Wraith, J. Garden had likely the best WR season as the leader in yards, but didn't separate himself enough from the field to win MVP. Separating himself from his competition is what lead to Nuck's MVP, with over 200 more rushing yards than the next highest total, by the SaberCats V. Bowers Jr.
So did Nuck deserve the first MVP award? The numbers are pretty good, especially in this offensive environment. But did he really carry his team? Orosz and Garden were similarly impressive for the Wraiths. Personally, I would look to the defensive side for an MVP candidate. Arizona's Jayce Tuck had an impressive season as he led the league with 16 sacks and had the second most TFLs with 17. However, my vote for MVP would go to his teammate, safety I. Rashad, whose 10 interceptions were double the next highest total, and still stands as the single season record to this day, and not matched until 16 seasons later.
My Vote: ARI S I. Rashad
59 Tackles, 10 Int, 22 PD, 1 TD
Season 2
Winner: ARI DE Jayce Tuck
67 Tackles, 19 TFL, 3 FF, 2 FR, 23 Sacks, 1 Safety
Tuck built on an impressive S1 by improving every single stat. Arizona finished with the best record in the league, lead by the best defense (only 12.5 points per game allowed) and ended up repeating as Ultimus champions.
Chris Orosz lead in passing yards and repeated as QB Rating leader. With a better overall season from Yellowknife and less of a monster season from Tuck, Orosz would have a nice case for MVP. Elsewhere, Arizona's King Bronko lead the league in touchdowns for what was also the top offense in the league. Baltimore's D. Farlane put up similar volume to Bubba Nuck's S1, but needed 100 more carries to do it, as rushing efficiency around the league plummeted. No player with over 100 carries averaged more than 3.7 yards per carry. OCO's R. Phelps lead in receptions with 83 and yards with 1406, but much like S1, the top group of receivers all performed on similar levels, with no one standing out quite enough for serious MVP consideration. On defense, Tuck put up by far the most impressive season, but some linebackers like COL's J. Saint (121 Tackles, 9 TFL, 12 Sacks), BAL's E. Broadway (113 Tackles, 12 Sacks, 13 PD), and ARI's H. Ernston (110 Tackles, 16 Sacks, 5 Int), put up some great all around numbers as well. No one was touching Tuck though - far outclassed the league individually, playing for the best team and the best defense.
My Vote: Tuck
Season 3
Winner: ARI DE Jayce Tuck
87 Tackles, 15 TFL, 32 Sacks
S3 seems very similar to S2. Arizona as Ultimus champions, with the best record, best offense, and best defense in the league, lead by MVP-winning, record-setting DE Jayce Tuck. Also, I just want to take a moment to appreciate the dramatic shifts in the league in just 3 seasons. Teams scored 22.1 points per game in S3, almost 5 points per game difference from S1.
I'll be talking about Mike Boss a lot in this article, starting now, as he engineered by far the most impressive quarterback season to this point. His 4649 yards were just short of 1000 more than the next highest total, which is absurd. He naturally also lead in touchdowns. The impressive part here is that the level of volume did not hurt his efficiency, as he lead in QB Rating as well. Arizona's King Bronko again put up great numbers as well, coming in just short of Boss in QB Rating, and as always great QB play for the top team in the league is a sure fire way to enter MVP talks. The league's rushing struggles continued, as similar to S2, only one player with more than 100 carries averaged more than 3.4 yards per carry (OCO's E. Burnsman, who also contributed an impressive 11 touchdowns). Unsurprisingly, with the numbers Boss was putting up OCO receivers dominated as well, as the top 2 in yards were OCO's B. Westfield and R. Phelps. We finally got a receiver to stand out from the crowd in Westfield, as he far outpaced the others in yards (1625, compared to Phelps' 1284), and lead in touchdowns as well. On defense, Tuck was the standout performer with 32 sacks (2.3 per game!). However, it is worth noting that three others topped 20 sacks as well. OCO brought another impressive individual performance to the table with FS D. Verns, the league leader in tackles who also contributed 11 sacks and 20 PDs. Arizona's F. Harris Jr. had a great season for a cornerback with 8 interceptions and 2 touchdowns, but not enough for an MVP.
Did Tuck deserve MVP? Sure, he set an unbreakable record in one of the biggest individual stats. But I don't think it would be crazy to consider one of the other options, particularly Boss, this season.
My Vote: Tuck, reluctantly
Season 4
Winner: OCO QB Mike Boss
412/663 5318 Yards, 62.1 Pct, 36 TD, 18 Int, 94.1 Rating
Despite more regular season dominance from the Outlaws, their reign over the league ends as Orange County takes home their first Ultimus.
The Otters were lead by Mike Boss, in the first of what will be 3 consecutive MVP seasons. Boss does indeed dominate the leaderboards, as the top performer in yards, completion percentage, touchdown, and QB Rating. Boss also notably completes the first ever 5000 yard season. King Bronko once again comes in a close second place to Boss in most categories. The running game is still an issue for teams, with more yard per carry averages in the 3's. However, three backs BAL's O. Taylor, SJS's J. Yates, and ARI's R. Mackworthy get double digit touchdown marks. OCO again finishes with two top receivers as Westfield and Phelps both top 1500 yards on the season, however they are sandwiched by ARI's J. Garden, who tops both in receptions and touchdowns. Garden 16 touchdown sets a record that stands for 5 seasons and remains the second best mark ever. Meanwhile, Jayce Tuck's sack dominance comes to an end, following up his 32 sack season with only 7. Strong seasons from ARI's H. Ernston (17 sacks) and SJS's J. Canton (8 interceptions) aren't enough to take the award away from the offensive side.
Did Boss deserve MVP? I'm a big fan of the season Garden put up, and he did it for a better regular season team. However, you can't argue too much with a QB who lead the league in every major category.
My Vote: Boss
Season 5
Co-Winner: OCO QB Mike Boss
392/646 5545 Yards, 60.7 Pct, 41 TD, 17 Int, 98.6 Rating
Co-Winner: YKW RB/WR Eric Kennedy
51 Carries, 218 Yards, 4.3 Avg, 1 TD, 130 Receptions, 1655 Yards, 12.7 Avg, 14 TD
The passing revolution has fully taken over the league now. 6 of 8 starting quarterbacks top 4400 yards and 87 QB Ratings, and 3 finish with over 5000 yards. 15 (!) receivers compile more than 1200 yards.
Mike Boss is again the leader in passing yards, but the rest of the league's quarterbacks have for the most part caught up to him. 3 other quarterbacks matched or surpassed his 41 touchdowns, and posted comparable QB Ratings. With such an explosion of passing offenses, running offenses took even more of step back, with only COL's B. Tweed passing 1000 yards on the ground. Only five teams give a running back 200 carries. That doesn't mean running backs were completely a non-factor, though. Five running backs caught more than 50 passes on the season, including an absurd 130 by co-MVP winner Eric Kennedy. Kennedy finished second in receiving yards, behind B. Westfield's record breaking 1756 yards. J. Garden, now on Philadelphia, matched his 16 touchdown mark from the previous season. Arizona's H. Ernston was again perhaps the top defensive player in the league, reaching double digit marks in TFLs, Sacks, and PDs to go along with 100 tackles. Oh, and file this tidbit away as a fun fact: 5 players recorded 14 or more sacks on the season...and all of them played for Orange County. Yes, the top 5 sack leaders in S5 all played for the same team.
So how would I handle this season's MVP...clearly the voters had trouble with it, as the award was split for the first time in league history. Boss's numbers are again MVP-worthy, and he was the leader of the best team in the league. However, for this season I would say OCO's defense was actually the catalyst for their success, and as I mentioned before, Boss may have been the best, but several other QBs were at most a step behind him. He wasn't far and away the top guy like he was in the previous two seasons. Meanwhile, Kennedy was the face of a shift in a new playing style of getting RBs involved in the passing game.
My Vote: Kennedy
Season 6
Winner: OCO QB Mike Boss
420/643 5516 Yards, 65.3 Pct, 41 TD, 15 Int, 103.8 Rating
Season 6 saw a slight reversal on the explosion of the passing game in the prior season, mostly because unlike the past few seasons, running the ball suddenly became a viable option. Players across the league started to average over 4 yards per carry, after struggling to reach 3.5 in the past. However, the news of this shift apparently did not reach the Otters, as Mike Boss continued his aerial supremacy (and his string of consecutive MVPs), and why not? Orange County again rolled to the best record in the league and another Ultimus victory. Boss surpassed 5500 yards again to match Season 5, even as only four quarterbacks passed for more than 4000 this season. Once again, Boss lead the league in completions, yards, completion percentage (by a big margin), touchdowns, and QB Rating.
As I mentioned, Season 6 is when the running backs finally returned. Baltimore's O. Taylor had probably the best rushing season to this point, with 1400 yards on 4.2 per carry. Four others also surpassed 1000 yards, and notably, Philly's D. Kroetch fell just short of 1000 yards, but did find the endzone an impressive 14 times. But just like last year, the best running back in the league did not do much on the ground at all. OCO's J. Yates (again, a running back) went and had what I would call the best receiving season in league history, with as of typing, the 3rd most receptions in a season (121), tied for the 3rd most touchdowns (15), and the most yards in a single season (1860). Add in his rushing yards, and Yates had the first, and only 2000 yard from scrimmage season in league history. Oh, and unfortunately being outshadowed here, Philly tight end Paul DiMiro set the single season receptions record (135) this season as well. Also, as has frequently been the case, plenty of impressive defensive seasons were had (special mentions for SJS's V. Sharpei, NOLA's W. Stone, and BAL's A. Delacour), but nothing as MVP-worthy as these record setting offensive seasons.
Same question as last season: MVP for Boss or the record setting receiving back. I was close to giving it to Boss for S5, and I would say he was even more impressive in S6, but I have to go with his frequent target for putting up what I would call the most impressive offensive season in league history.
My Vote: OCO RB/WR J. Yates
56 Carries, 252 Yards, 4.5 Avg, 2 TD, 121 Receptions, 1860 Yards, 15.4 Avg, 15 TD
Season 7
Winner: YKW QB Mat Akselsen
317/512 4293 Yards, 61.9 Pct, 21 TD, 16 Int, 89.3 Rating, 138 Carries, 959 Yards, 6.9 Avg, 16 TD
Finally someone ends Mike Boss's stranglehold on MVP awards. After 3 straight for Boss, a new winner was crowned, and a new team emerged with the best record in the league, as Yellowknife dropped only 1 regular season game (though, unfortunately could not clear Philly in the playoffs to make it to the Ultimus). Akselsen's passing numbers are what I could call good-not-great for this season, as despite leading the league in completion percentage, his yardage and rating were middle of the pack and he had the second most interceptions thrown. However, he emerged as the first true running QB threat in the league with nearly 1000 yards on the ground and 16 touchdowns to boot. Elsewhere, Boss again threw for 5000 yards and 40 touchdowns. Baltimore's Avon Blocksdale beat him out for QB Rating leader with a strong 38/9 TD to Int ratio. Blocksdale's backfield mate O. Taylor also lead in rushing yards again, as only 4 players ran for more than 1000 yards.
While some running backs continued to factor as receivers (Yates again recorded 1200 receiving yards), no one came close to the previous stand out seasons by Kennedy and Yates. True wide receivers again took center stage, with OCO's B. Westfield again leading the league in yards, with the third 1600 yard campaign of his career. Tight ends also started to emerge as top options, with Yellowknife's G. McPoyal joining Philly's Paul DiMiro in the 1000 yard club. On the defensive side of the ball, OCO's A. Winchester had a throwback season with 23 sacks (and not to mention 14 PDs). 20 sacks has again not been eclipsed since this season.
For this season's MVP, I considered going contrarian and giving it to Boss again (my main argument being, even with Akselsen's 16 rushing touchdowns, his combined passing and rushing don't match Boss's 40 passing toucdowns), but I can't discount that kind of contribution on the ground, particularly in this offensive environment.
