Offensive Awards
Top Quarterback - Winner - Robbie; Runners up - Maciej, David

Robbie surpassed Maciej in terms of passing touchdowns for the 2005-06, with 143 in total.  He also passed his previous mark, although it did take him longer to get to the 140 mark this year.  Worked over taller defenders well, and found his targets with pinpoint accuracy.
Most Valuable Offensive Player - Winner - Patrick; Runners up - Robbie, Maciej.

Takes the award for the second straight year.  Racked up 59 receiving touchdowns, including an awesome 3 per game average.  Was a go-to guy for many quarterbacks, but in particular Robbie.  Made his mark in almost every game, with solid awareness to make up for his lack of speed.  Honorable mentions go to QB's Rob and Mac, who found receivers all season long.
Top Receiver - Winners - Patrick; Runner up - Alex, Jacob.

Did what had to be done, finishing with the aforementioned 59 catches.  If that wasn't impressive enough, he also picked up numerous catches, leading to good yards for his squad.  Smart player.
Top Kickoff Returner - Winner - Johnny; Runners up - Matthew Couto, James.

With an astonishing 10 kickoff touchdowns, Johnny was heads above everyone else in the FFL this season.  Possessing a wide range of tools, including speed, agility and awareness, Johnny was unstoppable once he caught the pigskin.  He never dropped the ball on a kickoff, nor did he ever lose yards with stupid back-turns.  A must on special teams.
Top Runningback - Winner - Graham; Runners up - Tommy, Johnny.

Graham and Robbie picked up some chemistry on handoffs this season, with Graham getting a lot of his yards on the ground rather than in the air.  Although not particularly fast, he finds openings in the defence better than most; a must for all runningbacks.  Honorable mentions go to last year's winner Tommy, and Johnny for finding gaps to exploit with his speed.
Most Receiving Touchdowns - Winner - Patrick; Runners up - Alex, Jacob.
Patrick had 59, Alex with 53, Jacob finishing with 40.
Most Receving Touchdowns per game - Winner - Ezra; Runners up - Alex, 4 tied for 3rd.
Ezra led with 4, Alex was second with 3.8, and Jordie, Cass, Elliot and Pat each had 3.
Most Passing Touchdowns - Winner - Robbie; Runners up - Maciej, David.
Robbie won with 143, Maciej second with 136, Dave a distant third with 19.
Most Passing Touchdowns per game - Winner - Robbie; Runners up - Maciej, Matt C.
Robbie finished with a whopping 7.1, Maciej second with 6.5, Matt C. third with 3.5.
Most Kickoff Return Touchdowns - Winner - Johnny; Runners up - James, Matt C.
Johnny topped the FFL with 10, James a close second with 8, followed by Matt with 6.
Most Kickoff Return Touchdowns per game - Winner - Matt C.; Runners up - Johnny, Conal.
Matt took the prize with 1.5 per game, Johnny second with 1.4, Conal third with 1.
Offensive Rookie of the Year- Winner - Johnny; Runners Up - Jacob, Peter.

This award is given to the best 05-06 offensive player who had played 2 or less games in the prior season.  Johnny, whose prowess on the offensive end surprised and delighted FFL fans, wins the rookie of the year award.  Blessed with the aforementioned pace and ability to create plays after the catch, John edges out worthy competition in Jacob and Peter.
Most Improved Offensive Player - Winner - Graham; Runners up - Tommy, Robbie

Graham drastically improved his receiving totals (26 from 10 the year before) and fought his way to a runningback of the year award in the process.  Provides a solid second option for the quarterback, and isn't afraid to take on pretty much anyone.  Honorable mentions go to Tommy for continuing to raise his game, and Robbie for his growing awareness at QB.
