7-10 wasn't what we all hoped for in 2021, but considering where this team was at just before Ron Rivera took over in Washington, it might be just about where we realistically should have expected the WFT to be at this stage in their maturation and growth as a franchise. All in all, 2021 was a roller coaster of a season. Moving forward, being somewhat humbled in 2021 (especially on the defensive side of the ball) might be a good thing. If anything, this past season provided a stark reminder of just how much work still needs to be put into this project in order to reach the heights the team hopes to achieve. I have a feeling that taking a step back in 2021 might benefit this team in the long run. All that being said, let's review the season by handing out our BGO 2021 WFT Awards.
WFT Award Categories:
1. Team MVP - Which WFT player would we not have been able to live without in 2021? Which player was most valuable and important towards overall team production, success, and performance on a weekly basis?
2. Most Improved Player - Which WFT player made the greatest strides and gains in terms of his play from 2020 to 2021 or from Week 1 to 18?
3. Mr. Consistency Award - Who was 'Mr. Dependable' this season? Who was that guy that we could lean on week in and week out to bring his 'A Game" on the gridiron?
4. Newbie of The Year Award - Which Free Agency acquisition, Rookie or Midseason Street Acquisition from this past season was most critical towards overall team success?
5. Unsung Hero Award - This award will be given to the WFT player that best personifies the spirit of football. That is, the player who positively affects teammates around them through a true willingness to contribute in whatever required capacity on the field and by focussing on doing the little things right to get the job done. He might not always get the accolades, but his contributions definitely do not go unnoticed.
6. Grinder Award - Given to the WFT player who shows the best competitive spirit, fights for every inch, and knows what to do to set the tone on the team.
7. Most Exciting Play Award - Your pick for most outstanding WFT play of the 2021 regular season.
8. Most Pleasant Surprise Award - Your pick for the player that surprised us the most on the final 53 in a postive way. Which player gave more than you thought they would contribute on the whole in 2021?
9. "Pick Me Up" Award - Your pick for the player that seemed to give the team a jolt most consistently throughout the season when it was needed.
9. Most Disappointing Player Award - Nobody wants this recognition, but who was the guy that fell shortest of the mark for you in 2021?
Discuss amongst yourselves and hail!
