Big Sky MVPs

[mtgrizrule]

WOW, a lot of returning talent in the conference next season, especially at QB and WR.

I think the Griz players all realize that these are mostly just consolation prizes and participation ribbons for players on the teams that are no longer playing this year.

The issue I have is this. Most VALUABLE player. In terms of value to the team and he helped them accomplish, who had more value. Coyle or Daly?

It's really hard to argue Daly's accomplishments, 14 sacks is super-human, he forced multiple fumbles and has even blocked a kick and I know a punt as well. In terms of "the best" performance by a defensive player this year, yeah it's Daly. That's hard to argue otherwise.

But I stick to the value issue and I personally tie it to accomplishment. Vernon Davis is a good example, his VALUE to EWU is through the roof, it got them to where they are, him being MVP is a no brainer. But when I look at the defensive side, what value did Daly bring to the Cats and their year end results? And then I ask the same of Coyle.

Could be total homerism here but I think Brock Coyle's value to the Griz and where it got them this year was much higher than Brad Daly's to the Bobcats and the end results they had.

Also Coyle not getting first team is complete crap. This reminds me of 2011 when Houston Roots was clearly the 2nd best corner in the Big Sky, however the voters that be didn't want the Griz to hold the entire first team cornerback spots so Tru naturally gets 1st team and Roots lands on 2nd team, despite having far better numbers than TJ Lee who I think was 1st team with Tru that year. Strikes me as the same, voters didn't want to put our "big 3" linebackers all on the 1st team.

Vernon Davis :lol:

I wonder if some of the mysteries in the voting is tied to the enlarged 13 team conference format? So would a So. Utah, Idaho State, No. Colorado, coach vote for a Montana player (Coyle) they never saw? Or would E. WA's coach do the same voting for an NAU player, etc...?
Just wondering if some vote results were influenced by that situation. :ugeek:

I understand people wanting Coyle on, but lets be honest, the Big Sky is loaded with really good Linebackers.

Vernon Davis :lol:

I'm sure since I"m an Eagles fan I'm going to get attacked for even bringing this up on eGriz.

Side note > sorry that I'm not sorry that I visit eGriz to engage in lively conversations about Big Sky / FCS football. Not sure why other teams' fans always get attacked for coming here to talk football

I digress.

Back to my original intent. I saw in teh Big Sky press release of players of the year that EWU has had the Offensive MVP for 8 of the last 13 seasons. Pretty amazing.

I agree. Just think if you guys played defense.

I thought SAC MLB Todd Davis had a shot at Defenseive POY. He played unbelievably this year, on a terrible defense. Watching the game film on him has opened my eyes to how talented he truly is. He has next level potential (UDFA).

Well... EWU has had two Buchannon award winners in that time period as well. Not to mention a National Championship and I believe 6 or 7 Sky championships. Just sayin

Yes EWU has had a slew of good QB's & receivers these past few years. If you combine that offensive fire power with a stout defense you could officially be "Scary Good". Now if you wish to discuss football you'll be in good shape here, so welcome back. However, if you just want to stir the pot bragging about being the cock of the walk, go away.
Have a nice Thanksgiving. :ugeek:

Someone is a little sensitive. Did you not see the smiley emoticon? No need to get butt hurt.

As I recall we did fairly well in that same 13 year period too.....a national championship and 9 consecutive league titles.
