Honestly, agree with all of these. I might put Corbett as OPoY as he played nearly every snap at a fairly high level in his first year with the team.

Crazily enough, I might put Sam Darnold down as offensive player of the year, if we aren't going with a lineman. Darnold was head and shoulders above Mayfield and Walker with pretty much the same personnel minus (and this is a biiiiig minus) CMC.

I can hear the jaws dropping and hitting the floor. 

Was he great? Nah. The competition for the spot was just that bad.

It’s a testament to how bad the offense was as a whole. No one really deserved it but I could vouch for Sam here as he didn’t scree the pooch bad enough.

Honestly, he did well enough to make you go, "Wow, look at him. Is that really Sam? a time or two.

Look, I know he's not a world-beater at QB. He's really not even starting material, but something happened this season that upped his game. He played with some confidence and some guts that he'd teased a time or two in the past. He might be worth a short term back-up QB contract with some incentives to hold him here and work with us through a transition.

There's also the possibility that Reich could help him progress. It's not like he's had decent coaching since he got into the league, except for maybe Wilks saying "Well, kid, you've got nothing to lose, sling it."

He’s definitely earned a backup spot at minimum. Doubt he’ll ever be a legit franchise guy for us but I do agree he’s never had a fair shake. We’ve seen he can at least be average with a good O-line.

OPOY - Foreman.  I actually don't think this one is close.  5 games into the season he had 37 rushing yards.  We then traded CMC.  He finished with 914.   If you projected his yards over a full season post CMC trade it's a 1300+ season.   He was a tad boom or bust at times but he was the engine to our respectable finish. 

DPOY - Brown

ROY - Icky

MVP - Foreman (same as above)

Play - PJ to DJ bomb

but Luvu and Bozeman definitely need props

Boom or bust is why I left him off the list but he was a strong consideration for those “boom” moments.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
