Ranking Players of CSFL 6

[Peyton]

Since nobody posted a "top player" list, I was encouraged by some players to give my opinion.
I've decided to use kc21's past criteria for this list.

THIS IS BASED OFF OF CSFL 6 ONLY, MY OVERALL LIST WOULD LOOK A LOT DIFFERENT THAN THIS.

#1 - Grogglez 

He's BACK - both offensively and defensively. Takes off the top of a defense at will. 50% of my TD passes were improvised and majority of those TDs went to Grogglez because he'd break free within 5 yards after the snap and call for the ball. His cuts are more precise and dynamic. His yards after catch (YAC) are constant. Every matchup outside of Record is a mismatch. Would be smart for a CSFL 7 captain to draft both Grogglez and Record if possible. He's a vulture on defense. He flocks to the ball and tackles immediately if he's not preventing a completion or intercepting the ball. Question is whether he can play man defense or zone at the same level outside of the Express scheme. Can he cover a #1 or a #2?

#2 - Peyton 

Improved defense (new mouse) presented more opportunities and less stress on offense. Team was well coached (insert meme) while the chemistry and moral was always high. Each player was put in the best position to succeed and contribute both on offense and defense. The 2 losses were self-inflicted, but proved to be beneficial as we went on to outscore the Empire 107-29 in our last 2 games.

#3 - yellow 

Previous criticisms of cheating are in the past and do not apply. This guy was tested weekly and passed each time. Yellow has yet to earn the Top LB award, but no other pass rusher forces more errand throws or dictates offensive play-calls like him. He is the quickest WR off the snap and therefore is able to collapse zones and escape man coverage with ease. His stats do not reflect his impact - he makes everybody near him better. I would have a lot of fun creating concepts specific for his skillset and seeing what he could do with me at QB.

#4 - Funtastik 

Same team as last season, but without Grogglez. Sufficient play-call adjustments were not made for jeffrey who was being covered by #1 defenders this season - fake comebacks were constantly unsuccessful and too risky because it put him in a vulnerable position if jeffrey was unable to create separation. His defense took a big hit, in large part to having an inconsistent offense and lacking a safety presence in Grogglez. Still managed to rally his team and play his way into the Championship by having a 18 TD to 5 INT ratio vs the Heat and Outlaws in the 2nd and 3rd matchups. Funtastik, kc21, blood is a real possibility for CSFL 7 and would be a really intriguing matchup if it was to happen.

#5 - jbL 

MVP - set single season record with 108 rating. He lacked the knowledge of playing QB last season, but it all came together this year. His footwork and arm talent is exceptional. He can put up points and put together drives consistently. His defense has improved drastically, but is not yet at an elite level. I don't believe having yellow on your team discredits your achievements, but he'll have to prove the haters wrong. He's below Funtastik on my list because he was outplayed 2 of 3 games which includes his disappointing performance in the playoffs. He's still got so much to learn and so much more room to improve.

#6 - Rawr 

Getting smarter the more he plays and getting more fun to play with as a teammate. He understands how to rush the QB depending on the given situation. His routes are crisp and dynamic and he can also take the top off. Played outside left better than I had expected - being able to play both outside positions on offense is pretty valuable. Our team struggled vs the Heat without Rawr on both offense and defense. His pass rush on defense made our already tough coverage even tougher to throw against. He collected 3 INTS and forced bad decisions. Question is whether he can be a #1 WR - would his output as a #1 be similar to jeffrey's this year?

#7 - blood 

I enjoy playing with cerebral players and blood is one of them. He understands the game on defense and offense. On defense, his switches are seamless to the point where the opposing QB can't differentiate between man or zone. On offense, he understands what I was trying to do and on numerous occasions he called out what he saw at the same time I saw it. For example, his wide open TD reception in the championship game was based off a read he saw - he mentioned it at the same moment I was calling a play for him to exploit the defense. No personality issues all season long or at any time I've played with him, but the question for other QBs is the same it has always been - which blood are you gonna get?

#8 - Record 

A tank. You can't get behind him on offense and you can't let him behind on defense. Those skeptics that claimed he was only benefiting because he was playing next to kc21 were proved WRONG. With kc21 missing 1 game, Record carried the team with an impressive 12 catches for 232 yards and 3 TDs. If anything, playing next to kc21 limited him from more opportunities. Record strapped up everyone he covered and was the only defender that gave Grogglez a difficult time. Very valuable defensive piece that can eliminate an offensive option for the opposing quarterback. The question defensively is whether he can play zone or in a team-scheme at a high level. His offensive skills are unique. He can win most jump balls and will win contested passes with ease. His route running is difficult to gauge. It's best to adjust the team offense to his skills rather than his skills to the offense because he can stretch the field unlike anyone else. If he learned to run routes on a consistent basis like he's shown on a few occasions this season, he would easily be 99 overall and a nightmare to game plan for.

#9 - buttfumble 

I typed a whole paragraph about this guy without looking at the monitor and then I realized I wasn't typing at all. Asides from making the dumbest mistakes, this guy is a high IQ player. He is a technician on offense and defense. He reinforces positive moral for his team and keeps his quarterback level headed. He can cover any receiver at any position on the field and do so at a high level - only blood and myself are able to do the same. I expected more from his defense especially with yellow pass rushing, but he still performed at an elite level. He's the Rubber Band Man - he bends, but doesn't break - it's difficult to get behind him. His lack of ball skills hurts him on offense and defense. If he can become a big-body player, he'll become a big problem for opposing teams.

#10 - Brady 

I'm thankful this guy let others influence his draft selections the past 2 seasons, otherwise he would have been battling for the finals each year. He doesn't get the respect he deserves because of his unorthodox offense, which is why he's at his best when he runs his own show. He showed this when kc21 sat out a game and was replaced by Death. Tom was able to lead his team to a close game against the high powered Heat team where they barely lost by 6. With kc21 in the lineup, he was too concerned about production and the expectations of playing with kc21. He needed to remain at pass rush this season to have a chance. His defense was too vulnerable, although it improved drastically throughout the season. He has yet to win a CSFL ring. His best chance was in CSFL 3 where he was the #1 seed, but ended up forfeiting because of scheduling. Brady is a competitor, he's always in the game - I expect him to get back to his ways and make a run for the CSFL 7 ring, if it was to happen.

#11 - kc21 

Lost a step before last season, but still elite. His pass rushing was not as impactful as it was last season, but the defense behind him had a lot to do with that. Main criticism is that he didn't cover the #2 WR and let Brady rush instead. He's elusive after the catch and one of the best with the ball in his hands. He makes difficult catches in big moments. Question is how impactful is he to the team's overall success.

#12 - jeffrey 

Disappointing season, but definitely a #1 WR in my book. I think he received too much of the blame for his production this season. His route calls should have been adjusted given he was being covered by #1 defenders - fake comebacks worked too easily last year, but stood no chance this year against tougher competition. He messes up mid-route on occasion and misses too many passes that he should catch. At the same time, he will bail out bad throws on a regular basis like when he prevented a sure INT with me covering by strafing around me and scoring a 50+ yard TD. On defense, he really doesn't have an identity. He's shown signs of good coverage, but is not consistent. The question is whether he's worth a 1st round selection given his offensive performance and lackluster defense.

#13 - Aj 

Record Jr. balled out this year. He's done a great job of incorporating his dynamic ability into his route running. His cuts are pretty clean and precise. He can make catches in traffic with the best of them and he's shown this season that he can also make the routine plays and get YAC. His defense has always been susceptible, but he's managed to hold his own pretty well this season when covering the #3 WR. He did benefit offensively from playing next to yellow so the question is how good and impactful is he when playing next to an average inside WR.

#14 - dylan 

Greatly improved pre-snap technique. He was more dynamic off the line this season, which allowed him to get open earlier and more often. He was Funtastik's security blanket and main check-down option. His route-running technique also improved as seen in the Championship game where he was covered man-to-man by Grogglez in the redzone - he was able to perfectly technique his way into the endzone by using his body as leverage to create separation for Empire's first TD. He's not a big-body WR and he doesn't gauge the ball well. His pass rush was lackluster during the season, but improved drastically during the playoffs where he put pressure and forced errand throws on a consistent basis. His lack of consistency on offense and defense is what holds him back from being a viable threat.

#15 - Milkman 

I enjoyed playing with Milkman last season - he's pretty underrated, but I think that's because he doesn't play on a consistent basis. He shined this season, when kc21 sat out, as Tom Brady's 2nd option. In that game he went 15/18 with 202 yards and 1 TD. He's a big-body player that can cover big-body WRs pretty well. His route running is exceptional and he can make the tough catches in traffic. He does make silly mistakes and misses the routine catch on occasion. His potential is pretty high, but the question is how focused is he willing to be during a season.
