Another regular season is in the books and once again, new achievements in Football Moguls history were reached. For the first time ever, we had an undefeated regular season team. The Boston Biscuits went 16-0. Of course, we all remember what happened to the last Boston area NFL team that went 16-0 in the regular season... will history repeat itself? The New York Giants are in the playoffs...
But when it comes to individual achievement, once again, we saw a familiar crop of names, with of course a few newcomers too.
Once again, Karl Grizzard (LAX) led the league in rushing, going for over 1700 yards. SF had a prolific one/two punch rushing attack, as Scott Cosper and Bobby Ballard finished 2nd and 4th in rushing yards, each going for over 1200.
WR Ronald Aguilar (LAA) went over 2000 yards again and Wilbert Grego (LAX) combined 1700 yards with 20 TDs to lead the league in scores this year.
On defense, Christopher Rey (NYN) was the most dominant pass rushing force, with a league leading 28 sacks and 81 hurries. That helped teammate Fred Marshall pull in 9 INTs. Irvine's William Bell also had 9 INTs to tie for the league lead.
But when it comes to MVP level performances, it once again comes down to the QBs. While there were not insane level 90 TDs season this time around, the numbers were still astounding. Top rookie Chuck Farr, in his first season, averaged 10 yards per attempts, putting up a nice line of 4400 yards with 38 TDs.
We can't talk about this season without mentioning Timothy Thompson, who led the undefeated Biscuits. He had over 5000 yards, 37 TDs and a 113 rating.
SF's Patrick Spinner had an amazing first year with his new team. He led the league with a 69.9 percent completion percentage and barely edged out the best QB rating at 113.65 to go with 45 TDs. Leading a 15-1 team also helped his case, but the MVP once again comes up to the even bigger stat collectors.
New York's Richard Williams was plucked off the free agent market and promptly helped turn New York into a contender. He led the league with over 6500 passing yard to go with 53 TDs vs. 18 INTs for a 108.35 QB rating in a 13-3 season. But he did that with the second most attempts in the league.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, perennial MVP candidate Owen Barrett had another statistically dominant season: over 6000 yards, league leading 65 TDs vs. 15 INTs, 113 QB rating (second in the league) and yes a 15-1 record. And yes, this was somehow his "worst" statistical season to date, after losing out on the MVP after throwing 79 TDs the season before. LAX had the highest scoring team and the number one offense by yardage.
So all that said, your 2019 regular season MVP is
Owen Barrett. The captain of the best offense with the most TD passes, almost best QB rating, second in yards passing and 15-1 record to boot cannot be denied this year. If all that were not enough, the CPU also selected him as QB of the year award winner for the third year in a row. Congrats to our first two time MVP!
