Warrior General Games

Before we get to the list, I want to say thanks to everyone that took the time to submit a ballet for your teams' all star vote. It's pretty interesting to see what criteria people analyze when determining who is All Star worthy. Some positions were pretty much dominated by one or two players so thoroughly that there was little or no debate. Other spots, like LB, FS and SS - left a lot up to interpretation. Some voters went for pure stats, others went for quality over quantity. However you voted, it's been enjoyable looking over the lists and agreeing or disagreeing with selections. Hopefully people will see their player(s) on the list and feel appreciated, knowing your accomplishments were recognized.

So with that - on to the All Stars!

Reviewing the selections, with commentary :

Quarterbacks
- Robert Starr, New York Strikers - 8 votes
- H. Bubba Cannon, Miami Makos - 3 votes
- Donnie Norris, NBSK - 1 vote

An amazing season by an measurement from Robert Starr made this an easy selection. Starr picked up over 70% of the votes and never was seriously challenged, much like his NY team. He won League Leader awards for most passing yards (3923) and most passing TD's (34), and finished the regular season with a passer rating of 90.6

Halfbacks
- Morris Fallon, New Brunswick Scarlet Knights - 7 votes
- Ox Smersh, New Brunswick Scarlet Knights - 4 votes
- Smokie McPot, New Hampshire Hustlers - 1 vote

What does it say about a team when you have 2 HB's dominating the votes? Morris Fallon takes the title with more than 60% of the votes, but Ox collected over 35% himself. The voting played out very similar to the regular season, where Morris beat Ox in rushing yards (1815 vs 1739) and rushing TD's (30 vs 27). The good news for the rest of the league is that both players should be terrorizing A8 next season, and maybe some of our DC's can sleep easier.

Fullbacks
- Cedric Haymans, New York Strikers - 6 votes
- David Diggler, NBSK - 5 votes
- Twoday Beard, Miami Makos - 1 vote

In the closest All Star voting race, Haymans barely edged Diggler by 1 vote. Some voters were obviously swayed by Haymans superior offensive stats (320 yards rushing, 8 TD vs 109 yards 2 TD's from Diggler), while other voters valued how Diggler contributed to the success of others (41 pancakes vs 15 from Haymans). Regardless of the outcome, both players earned a nod of respect from opposing teams

Wide Receiver
- Yoda Skywalker, Akron Browns - 12 votes
- Richard Hawthorne, Miami Makos - 8 votes
- Din Blades, NBSK - 3 votes
- Amon Amarth, Vice City Mambas - 1 vote

Skywalker has become the deep threat that every teams craves. His 1704 yards receiving was almost 500 yards more than his closest competition, and his 18 TD's also were tops in the league. Hawthorne was just as explosive, and actually beat Skywalker on yards per catch (14.4 vs 13.4), but didn't see as much action with almost 50 fewer receptions.

Tight Ends
- Jason In Flames, Vice City Mambas - 6 votes
- Michael Cameron, New York Strikers - 4 votes
- Heath Miller, Scranton Wilkes-Barre Menzingers - 2 votes

In another close race, Jason In Flames edged Michael Cameron with 54% of the votes to Cameron's 36%. Both players had excellent statistical seasons, but voters went with Jason - 78 catches, 821 yards, 10.5 YPC and 4 TD's over Cameron - 77 catches, 776 yards, 10.1 YPC and 7 TD's

Centers
- Dave Langlois, Atlanta Wolves - 5 votes
- Jon Harris, New York Strikers - 4 votes
- Jethro Bodine, Gulf State Demons - 2 votes
- Flex Kavanah, Miami Makos - 1 vote

There were no wrong choices with these selections as the 4 players receiving votes anchored 4 of the top 5 running offenses in the east. Langlois led all centers with 111 pancakes; John Harris was next in line among centers with 97

Guards
- Milt Theodosatos, New Brunswick Scarlet Knights - 12 votes
- Wall Ostone, New Hampshire Hustlers - 6 votes
- Justin McBride, New Hampshire Hustlers - 3 votes
- Dirk Digler, Atlatna Wolves - 3 votes

Theodosatos tied Yoda Skywalker for most votes received (12), and it's no surprise. Milt terrorized opposing teams with 179 pancakes this season, tops in all of BBB15. League experts are checking to see if Waffle House serves as many pancakes in a month - preliminary results are doubtful. Wall Ostone had his own flapjack fest with 142, second only to Milt for league leader in pancakes among eastern teams

Tackles
- James Wren, Salem Cyber Hawks - 9 votes
- Big Easy, Atlanta Wolves - 8 votes
- Bricked Wall, Akron Browns - 6 votes
- Leftus Taklus, Miami Hammerheads - 1 vote

James Wren and Big Easy led all eastern tackles in number of pancakes with 125 for Wren and 138 for Easy. The Salem and Atlanta QB's can sleep easy at night knowing those monsters are guarding their blind side.

Very nice job! I for one appreciate you doing this for our league/conference. It adds to the total experience here on GLB. Thanks

Very much agreed - thank you for all the work on this.

Good job. I'll just say that it is a testament to our depth that the team leading the league in passing, rushing, and pancakes only has 1 WR as 3rd team and 1 OL making the list, and one QB as erd team. Not saying I disagree, just giving KUDOs to my players for being unselfish.

Also, I hate how you all jinx us by picking assuming we are moving on. GRRR.

We'll see tonight. I already put my calls on the line by making predictions, and will stick by them.

Thanks for the effort you put into this, Sequtugh.

Congrats to all the winners.

Congrats to the winners. Can't wait to see the Defense comentary.

Robert Starr thanks everyone for their votes.

congrats to all that made it

grtz to the winners, hopefully next season we can a guy in there.

Thanks Sequtugh for starting the initial thread.

Congrats everyone... Hope the template worked for everyone. Not making the playoffs at least got me motivated to get the voting started.

Look out for the Outlaws next season and our all star punter!

Thanks for doing this. Hammertime's ego is off the charts now.
