It's way to early to even think about voting on these positions. When you talk about the best players at their position, regardless of stats, they will be on teams who are still playing. Now, there is of coarse exceptations to this rule. If a guy busts his ass all year long on a team that blows ass, I am NOT discounting his stats. That shows me effort and desire, which is the prime thing I look for when making these votes.
For instance; you have 2 of the best QB's in the league, Hamilton and Booker. Anyone who makes their vote before the this game is played is simply discounting one of the most important factors regarding awards. You can throw for 6000 yards and 70 touchdowns, but if you cannot at least win a wildcard game, then your not as good as advertised. Bottom line.
I will go a step further. If you are talking about Player Of The Year............If you are not in the IFL bowl, then you shouldn't even be considered for POTY. To me, thats an easy decision. A TRUE POTY will lead his team, regardless of position, to the IFL bowl.
I didn't catch the due date for these awards, but I sure hope it's the week before the IFL bowl, because I cannot, in good faith, cast my votes untill I see the players who can truly play at their best, when it matters most.

I'm not saying Booker is MVP material as he's managed to take a step back this year with my run first approach BUT but still posted back-to-back record setting seasons and guided those Stallions to the playoffs a lot.
My defense collapsed after people saw that my front seven could be run on easily and my 7-2 start faded to a 9-7 finish. Even still, Booker did a helluva job to keep us in the hunt and I'm betting he'll post 300 yard 4TD game to remind you that he is still an elite passer.
