[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 979264, member: 1555"] I think we tend to look at these awards through gold-tinted glasses. I’m as excited about Haynes King and the rest of our playmakers as anyone, but just going by stats, King comes in about 4th in the ACC, which is where he was placed. 4th in passing yards, 13th in completion percentage, and 6th in QBR. On the plus side, he added a lot of value with his running game and placed first in total TDs. Counterbalancing that, he has the highest number of interceptions thrown. As GT fans we may be viewing his performance and importance to the team with a measuring stick warped by our prior 4 seasons. Although GT placed fourth in conference standings, at 6-6 we did not have the overall record to garner the attention that some of the teams above us have. There is likely some bias toward teams that have the best overall W-L records. The other thing that I think the selections showcase is that teams like GT may not have as many elite [I]players [/I]as some other teams, but as far as the ACC standings reflect, are a better [I]team[/I] (at least on offense). It’s telling that Miami had the second-most players selected, but placed 9th in the conference standings. [/QUOTE]
