The 2023 season is officially over! Some people are getting ready for the draft, others for the playoffs, and a special few are just happy they don't have to watch or think about their team for 5-8 months. I thought it'd be fun to let the forum vote on who they think did the best and worst during the 2023 season! I've got 4 sections - one for coaches, one for rookies, one for the players at large, and then a final section for the feel good stories etc.

Click here to vote!

To explain some categories, the draft disappointment section includes players that were doing great and got hurt - and the disappointment comes from not getting to see them play a full season. Not that the player themselves is a disappointment. I didn't do ranked voting for coaches because I don't think people will have strong enough opinions on coaches beyond "BAD" or "GOOD". I'll let the whims of fate determine the top 5.

The coaches section allows you to vote for up to 5 people! Don't feel like you have to vote for that many if you don't think that many were that good/bad. The Rookies section is one vote per category. The MVP section is ranked voting, where 1st place is worth five points, 2nd place four points, 3rd place three points, 4th place two points, and 5th place one point. The most points is what crowns the winner.

I'm not perfect and may not have a player/coach included in a category because I'm dumb, not because I hate your team or player or whatever. If you let me know to include someone else - I will try to. Besides, it's supposed to be for fun.

I'll flip a coin to determine tiebreakers for first place only. Two people stuck at 2nd will both have to live with both being the 2nd worst or best.

Finally, if you have an idea for another category - please let me know. I wanted to do one for funniest moment of 2023 or like best catch but don't know enough off the top of my head.

Might want to include DaRon Bland among the DPotY choices. 9 INT/5 pick sixes.

I feel like CeeDee Lamb should be on the OPOTY listing.

I also refused to vote for any QB's on OPOTY and any non-QB's on MVP.

Already have 13 votes in! Some interesting results so far! Offensive rookie is currently tied and defensive rookie is not who I'd thought would win!

Mvp is a close race between two players right now, with several others all in the running for third.

LEFT 4 DEAD IS A LOT LIKE FOOTBALL - I JERK OFF TO BOTH
Solid poll but I'm slightly disappointed in the "most disappointing rookie" section where Gonzalez and Richardson are listed but they actually looked pretty great until the injury. Meanwhile, someone like Tyree Wilson (#7 overall ) played the whole season and the only notable thing he did was wear a baller rear end suit on draft night, otherwise he was completely invisible.

And voting is closed! Thank you all for participating! I was worried this would be dumb but if it was, I got 60 people to waste some time too! Again, I'm sorry for not having some people on the list from the start - I really don't mean anything by it. I filled out the names of players/coaches I could remember and then started googling to bring up other names (Mike Evans deserved a slot on OPOY imo and I just straight up forgot to include him - even if the outcome for that category was already decided).


Anyway, enough of that. Here's the results!


For the top coordinator of 2023... TFF chose these people:


1. Ben Johnson (27 votes - 45% of respondents)
2. Bobby Slowik (16 votes - 27% of respondents)
2. Jim Schwartz (16 votes - 27% of respondents)
4. Mike Macdonald (15 votes - 25% of respondents)
5. Todd Monken (14 votes - 23% of respondents)


No surprise in this top 5. All of these coordinators are getting head coaching interviews this month and all are in the playoffs. We've got 3 offensive guys and 2 defensive guys in there, so that's a good showing by both sides of the ball!


For the worst coordinator of 2023... TFF chose these unlucky people:


1. Sean Desai/Matt Patricia (36 votes - 60% of respondents)
2. Matt Canada (27 votes - 45% of respondents)
3. Nathaniel Hackett (22 votes - 37% of respondents)
4. Luke Getsy (11 votes - 18% of respondents)
4. Joe Barry (11 votes - 18% of respondents)


My favorite result of this voting was that despite this being a "choose as many as you want" type of vote, 12 people only selected Matt Patricia and left all others blank. Joe Barry also got very few votes until late in the voting, which surprised me at first. Another interesting result - of people who selected 3 or more coaches, NONE had the same ballot. Also, Aaron Glenn received no votes. Congrats Lions fans, you have a good defensive coordinator after all.


For the coach of the year 2023... TFF chose:


1. DeMeco Ryans (32 votes - 53% of respondents)
2. Dan Campbell (22 votes - 37% of respondents)
3. Kevin Stefanski (21 votes - 35% of respondents)
4. John Harbaugh (12 votes - 20% of respondents)
5-T. Mike Tomlin (11 votes -18% of respondents)
5-T. Kyle Shanahan (11 votes - 18% of respondents)


This is one of those votes I think are swayed by narrative and recency bias. If the browns end up winning tomorrow, Stefanski would probably overcome DeMeco in people's eyes, for example.


And for worst coach? I don't think anyone will be shocked to learn it was...


1. Josh McDaniels (34 votes - 57% of respondents)
2. Arthur Smith (26 votes - 43% of respondents)
3. Brandon Staley (23 votes - 38% of respondents)
4. Robert Saleh (15 votes - 25% of respondents)
5. Dennis Allen (13 votes - 22% of respondents)


Get hosed Dennis. You placed higher than Frank Reich. Shoutout to the three people who voted for John Harbaugh, two of whom voted for no one else. And one brave soul who voted for him and Arthur Smith. The real champions though?





:patriot:


THE ROOKIES





This was an actual tug of war for quite a while. Until the vote count went into the 40s, this could have gone to either Puka or CJ. But Stroud pulled it out in the end, and with over 50% of the votes! Rooting for you tomorrow :unsmith:





This race, meanwhile, ended in a tie! So to determine the winner, I will flip a coin. I want the first Lions or Texans fan to see this post and then call a side of the coin, and I'll flip to determine the winner.





This one, was never close. Puka ran away with this one, and its very justly deserved.





As is, uh, this one. Poor Bryce.


THE PLAYERS


Finally for the most exciting stuff, what you posters think are the top players in the league for the 2023 season. Going in order, for Offensive player of the year, we have...


1. CMC - 227 points
2. Tyreek - 165 points
3. Lamar - 155 points
4. CeeDee - 79 points
5. Purdy - 62 points


CMC had a commanding 29 first place votes. That's the most first place votes of any of the 4 categories! Lamar actually had the 2nd most first place votes but Tyreek had more 2nd and 3rd place votes. Ranked voting baby! Such a pain to calculate...


For defensive player of the year... there's been some arguments already about this. So who does TFF think deserves it? Well, it's...


1. Myles Garrett - 201 points
2. Micah Parsons - 130 points
3. Maxx Crosby - 114 points
4. TJ Watt - 106 points
5. Aidan Hutchinson - 66 points


Myles received 25 first place votes, more than triple that of runner up Micah Parsons. Most people were undecided as to first place, but those who thought it was Garrett were the plurality so he carries the day! My apologies to Bland and Winfield who I wrongfully excluded until a dozen votes or so had already been counted. It wouldn't have been enough to get into top 3, but they could have gotten to 5th (42 and 26 points respectively)


I'm not even going to leave you in suspense for O-linemen it was


1. Trent Williams - 188 points
2. Jason Kelce - 103 points
3. Penei Sewell - 87 points
4. Frank Ragnow - 78 points
5. Lane Johnson - 54 points


Trent received 28 first place votes and crushed this voting. It was literally never in doubt. Dude's phenomenal. Congrats to the Lions for getting two big guys in the top 5. They are the people's team for a reason.


Now then... MVP. This one was a close race for a LONG time. But one candidate started running away with it towards the end... which is fitting for the MVP - who does a lot of running. The MVP for the 2023 season as voted on by TFF is... in descending order...


10. Micah Parsons - 20 points
9. Trent Williams - 42 points
8. Dak Prescott - 44 points
7. Brock Purdy - 59 points
6. Myles Garrett - 65 points
4-T. Josh Allen - 66 points
4-T. Tyreek Hill - 66 points
3. CJ Stroud - 71 points
2. CMC - 139 points
1. Lamar Jackson - 192 points


Lamar received 27 first place votes, with CMC in 2nd with 9... interesting enough, Stroud received no first place votes but had a very even distribution of 2nd - 5th votes which let him pull ahead of the logjam below him.


Finally for the vibes check polls -





No shock here, I know he wasn't really a free agent acquisition, but he was still the most exciting off season addition to a team not through the draft.





Seems like the people have chosen Joe over Baker. Shoutout to the Tommy Cutlets fans, he will not be forgotten :italy:





Finally, yes, despite some fans insistence, everything to do with the lions reporting fiasco is considered the biggest ref blunder in a year with many insane ref blunders. You just know a playoff game is going to be decided on a ref loving up and that sucks to think about when there's some really good games coming up.

Anyway, thank you all for participating! I hope you enjoyed this dumb idea I came up with one night! If you want to see the full results, you can click here or click back on the same link in the OP and click view previous results.
