Can any other position than QB win POW?

This game is rediculously biased towards QB's for Player of the Week!

Two weeks ago my RB re-sets the IFL record with 217 yards rushing and loses out to an above average performance to a QB.

This week Burlington WR Max Brown breaks the IFL record with an unheard of 236 yards receiving and loses out to an above average performance by a QB.


In my experience 100 yards is the "good/great game" benchmark for RB's and WR's and 300 yards the "good/great game" benchmark for QB's. Based on this a QB would need AT LEAST 500 yards passing and in fairness 600+ yards passing to match the performances by these two players. Also, neither QB had an outstanding amount of TD passes.

God I hate quarterbacks!!! Things like this make me want to forgo my offensive offensive line and draft strictly for defense in the off-season in an effort to punish all IFL QB's for this injustice!!!


BTW - Both Burlington and I won our games so victory is also not a legitimate consideration in this argument.

My heart tells me to agree with you, however, common sence tells me.....quarterbacks ARE the offense. The team lives and dies with the qb, and decisions and or, lack thereof he makes. They recieve the extra attention because, they are that important!

While QB's are certainly important they are not THE offense. Look at last years Chiefs. Do you believe they were at the top of the NFL offenses because of Trent Green??? :blink:

I remember in high school we had a QB with an arrogance problem and the coach called a play where all the offensive lineman sidestepped the oncoming pass-rush. That QB found out real quick that football is a team sport. lol

Good thing the guy wasn't injured, because the coach should have had is ass kicked over that call. IF it was in practice and the defensive players were not going to nail him then that is probably ok, but in a game that is BS.


To the thread topic though, yes the game is biased towards QBs. But, just to defend the QB who got it this week though, it was the Burlington QB. If it wasn't for him that WR never would have had over 200 yds receiving, and 98 yards of that was on 1 catch. But ya, if I chose it myself then I would have given it to the WR.

Doesn't mean we can't come up with our own MVP of the week awards

I think it'd make a good poll each week. We could each choose from the list of the PC generated POW's along with any obvious oversights.

Maybe one of the commissioners could set up a poll weekly, would be something too do during the week.
