Mid Year Bye Week Awards
-
I have to agree that Pryor has been a pleasant surprise for the Raiders in spite of the numbers. He's given them some hope. I think he needs to show improvement as the season progresses. He hasn't nailed anything down just yet.
Nick Foles, I get props on that one. I went on and on, as I'm prone to do, about how he should go at least high 2nd and I'd be fine with the Browns drafting him there. He's the one and only acquisition that might make me NOT believe the Browns will go all-in at QB. And it might make more sense if we draft 16th and 25th or something. Might not have a real shot at any of the top four (Manziel and Carr being 3 and 4).
I think he could be had for the Colts draft choice and a little something else. He's gonna be very popular if Chip decides he really wants to run his offense with Mariota, Manziel, or Boyd.

Uhm, I too was on the Nick Foles wagon for the Browns, thinking that with their first round picks that they could get TR and maybe the OT they needed. Reilly Reiff or even The Schwartz then. Then picking up Foles in the second round.

Sorry, but WTF is "MOP"??? Overrated???
Not feeling a QB with a 71 Rating for Off ROY... but pickings are so slim that a lineman, Kyle Long has a shot at this honor.
Agree on Aaron Pryor... never saw him coming.
For Coach of Year Reid is a fine choice, but Sean Payton gets my vote... Sean's missed year and return is like a light-switch was turned off/ on in NO.
I think Houston has been the biggest disappointment.
Lastly, if trading away Trent was the Best move... is not trading for him the worst??? AKA Biggest DumbAss Move?
Nick Foles, I get props on that one. I went on and on, as I'm prone to do, about how he should go at least high 2nd and I'd be fine with the Browns drafting him there.
I had Foles in my one and only Mock... should count for something.

Sorry, but WTF is "MOP"??? Overrated??? Most Outstanding Player...which I personally think is a better designation than MVP.
Not feeling a QB with a 71 Rating for Off ROY... but pickings are so slim that a lineman, Kyle Long has a shot at this honor.
If you mean Geno Smith...I am basing it purely on the fact that he does have a team that many thought might be the worst in the NFL in the playoff hunt. It is obviously very hard to evaluate offensive linemen....so you may indeed be right....that an OL is actually doing best...you just can't tell overtly
Agree on Aaron Pryor... never saw him coming. Probably because Aaron Pryor is a boxer and his right hook caught you off guard
Obviously you meant Terrell Pryor
For Coach of Year Reid is a fine choice, but Sean Payton gets my vote... Sean's missed year and return is like a light-switch was turned off/ on in NO. Certainly arguable.
I think Houston has been the biggest disappointment. Ditto
Lastly, if trading away Trent was the Best move... is not trading for him the worst??? AKA Biggest DumbAss Move?
Maybe, but I just wanted to vary my choices up....though, honestly....if Rodgers IS out most of the rest of the season, and the Packers have to go with Seneca Wallace....and they lose most of their games because of it, THAT WILL in my opinion prove to be the dumbest move. Perhaps no team in the league is as reliant on their Super Star QB as the Packers are, and having no really viable backup could kill their season. Even the Browns were far, far better at having backup QB talent than the Pack had. We all know that.
I had Foles in my one and only Mock... should count for something.

Do you have an alternate for "Biggest Surprise player" besides Pryor. Like I said, I don't buy Cameron and Gordon...I expected them with their talent to play the way they are.
Hoyer would have been a very good candidate had he remained available...and continued to play the way he was playing.
Who came out of nowhere to have a good season?

Buster Skrine - by far and away the biggest worst-to-first story on our team, got to be up there in the league as a whole.
A few rookies are playing well above their draft status - Kiko Alonsno and Zac Stacey have already been mentioned. Mike Glennon's played well enough for a 4th round rookie thrust in to being starter.

Lmao at Geno Smith! Keenum's outplaying him!

Cameron is not a surprise to you or me, but to the league on a whole I think he is.
I like the choice of Skrine too, but I doubt anybody outside of Cleveland and NFL film rooms is noticing him.
Still not on board with Pryor ... If you told me before the season that the Raiders were going to start him and they would be 3-5, he would have a 72 rating and run for a lot of yards I would have said ... OK, sounds about right.

What is the criteria for "Comeback Player of the Year"? I thought one had to be out like a whole year or most of a year due to injury etc., not just because you were not playing. Like Adrian Peterson, Peyton Manning who both lost a year to a major injury.
If the Comeback player can be given to someone who just was not playing, but then who is called on to do well, then yes, maybe Campbell can qualify. (but first....he must continue his solid performances, mustn't he)

Here is data on "Comeback Player":
The National Football League Comeback Player of the Year Award refers to a number of awards that are given to an NFL player who has shown perseverance in overcoming adversity, in the form of not being in the NFL the previous year, a severe injury, or simply poor performance.[1] The awards have been presented by several organizations, including the Associated Press, Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers Association (PFW/PFWA), Sporting News, and United Press International.So, apparently "simply poor performance" can be a criteria.

I didn't change it, and that is not the way it was on the Wiki page. This site must have done an autochange on that.
But, OK then. Let's hope that Campbell revs up his campaign for Comeback Player.

You have to have been somebody first to then "come back". Skrine is simply a young developing player who is getting better. What is this, his third year?
Campbell would be far more apt. If McGahee would miraculously get like 100 yards a game here on out he would qualify (but hell, he already won it once I see)

OK, let's add that as a category: Who has been the most Overrated Player in the NFL so far this year?

Possible Candidates:
#1 Von Miller NFL Network rated him the #9 best overall player in the NFL. What he is is a roid freak who may not be all that without the juice.
Aldon Smith. Due to issues just isn't playing.
Ray Rice...can't get free like he used to
Robert Griffin III injuries hampering his play....(his hype is so high it would be hard for anyone to live up to it)
Ed Reed....may be done. I believe he lost his starting job in Houston, NO?
Julio Jones...I personally always thought he was overrated...even when he wasn't injured
Trent Richardson....need I say more. We all, me included, had him becoming the next Emmit Smith. I guess not.
