yeah, i've always been in favor of some kind of recognition for every position. i long ago gave up on the hope of an all pro status. the biggest issue is how to determine the best player? a blocking OT at LOT will get much better pancakes on a rushing team than most ROTs get. a blocking center on a passing team will get squat most likely.

I mean, it's not like it would be some kind of epic re-write of stuff... just the stats that show up on the player's page, team page, and player rankings. My only guess is it muct be really hard to implement because it seems so easy to me.
Seems a shame we can't combine this to all the other times it has been suggested, surely there must be enough +1's on the combined threads that it at least gets on the voting section of the suggestions.

The answer to this is 2 fold. #1, a more broad based recognition system. Right now it's simply "Best Defensive player" or Best Offensive player". Even in the subdivides, it's O-linemen and D-linemen and D-backs and Rushers and receivers (QB's, Kickers, and Punters). It should be (as player evaluations should be) highly positional. HB's should be in their own category... and FB's in THEIR own category. Not lumped as rushers. A Left Tackle should compare to other Left Tackles... not Right Guards and Centers as well. It means keeping more stats and showing more stats and evaluating with those stats... and the stats must be specific to the build (A STOP center should NEVER be compared to a normal center).
And, #2, making stats pertinent to each position. A STOP's stats should be VERY different than a Non-STOP of the same position. A Halfback's stats should be different than a Fullbacks'. While both will carry for yards, the FB will likely get more 'cakes' than a HB over the course of it's career. And 'cakes' for a FB should carry more meaning for that position than it would for a HB.
What GLB has now is a very simple, "all encompassing", method of comparing and stat keeping. Does it mean more coding? Yes. Perhaps even more servers to handle the extra load. And maybe that's why it hasn't happened yet. Who knows? But, at the very least, separating STOP archetypes from the rest of the dots is a great place to start. That means LOL bars and stats and marketplace changes... but those are not that difficult.
