Have you inquired about doing this on a weekly basis with the other gentleman's idea of a representative of each team doing a top 25 weekly?

I am not pushing for that, although I think it would be kind of cool to do. The thing is though, even if you pick the most non-biased representatives from each fanbase, you still end up with just a handful of random opinions forming a poll. I liked the way this one was done because of the huge sample size that really checked the pulse of this board as a whole. However, such a large sample size is just not feasible on a weekly basis unless someone is just so dedicated to it that they are willing to spend a good chunk of their time every weekend counting votes.

Maybe there is website that allows you to create a "ranking" poll that would make it easier, although there are issues with the transparency and integrity of that as well.

Yeah, objectively one person voting would not represent the fanbase. Pragmatically allowing everyone to vote and one person a team to tabulate would require 14 stickies. I don't know if there is a good way to do it.

If a system isn't put in place by someone else, I may do another poll just like this at mid-season and then at the end of the season.

Mid-season bump.

Note: This poll was taken before Mathieu was kicked off team.

Meh, Tyrann wasn't responsible for pass protection and catching the ball when it hits him in the hands on a slant.

Has anyone mentioned that this poll was tabulated in a Works spreadsheet? I know people in Arkansas are poor but DAYUM!
