The 2035 regular season is over, and it is time to look back as we head into the playoffs.
On defense,
Paul Pitcher, CB, Chicago, was just plain dominant. He had 15 INTs, second most in a season, all time. He's the anchor of the Chicago defense in the fine tradition of George Walls.
On the line,
Maurice Dabney, DT, Oakland, was this year's sack master, registering 11 sacks and forming a formidable one-two punch with teammate
Richard Ledford, who had 10 sacks.
Running the ball,
Edmond Johnson of San Francisco took home yet another rushing title and put up over 2000 combined yards.
William Holmes of Los Angeles did similarly and put up another all around season with over 2000 combined yards and 17 touchdowns, putting him over 100 for his career.
Receiving, there were two standout performances this year. In the AFC,
Stuart Grizzle of the London Ravens led the team to the playoffs, with over 1500 yards and 20 touchdowns. Meanwhile, in the NFC, second year receiver
Jeffrey Lacey of San Francisco built on his rookie of the year season and exploded for over 2400 yards and 24 touchdowns.
But as usual, the MVP talk comes down the QBs. Two time MVP
Ernest Williams of Los Angeles once again led the league in QB rating, while throwing 46 TDs and the story of the year has been
David Bare of Brawndo Corp, taking over for last year's MVP Brian Roberts and putting up MVP level numbers himself, with 37 TDs and a 102 QB rating, not even playing the whole season. But one quarterback dwarfed the competition, throwing for more than 1300 yards and 10 more TDs than his nearest competitors. All told, he threw for 6468 yards, 56 TDs and a 102.79 QB rating while guiding his team to the playoffs. Your 2035 MVP is
Kenneth Rainey, QB, San Francisco!
