MHR Poll of the Week: Mid-Season Awards - Best Squad

by Topher Doll on Nov 5, 2011 11:30 AM MDT in MHR Poll of the Week

So MHR Poll of the Week is back, and looking to continue a strong trend of keeping track of the public's mindset. Since the last Poll of the Week a lot has happened, mostly bad, but hey, that's the Bronco life. But no matter what Poll of the Week is back as another weekly series to try and keep content and community involvement going, the other two series are Let's Not Forget and MHR Staffer Roundtable. But this week, seeing as how it's the mid-season point, I just wanted to get a poll out about something I think is a good thing, so with that in mind, let's jump!

This week's query deals with handing out our mid-season awards. There will be four posts in total today:

- Best Squad
- Worst Squad
- Least Valuable Player
- Most Valuable Player

They will be going up over the course of today, so if you've voted in this one, check back in and make your voice heard on the other polls.

Now I've listed each squad in the poll, as well as a few statistics for each squad to help those who may not know about a specific squad, offensive line or special teams for instance. Hopefully this will add a bit more knowledge into your decision. Good luck everyone, and feel free to make your voice heard even louder in the comments section since a few comments from each poll will be added to next weeks Poll of the Week.

Nice post MWD.

I had a hard time choosing between special teams and the RBs. This is probably the best rushing attack we have had in years, so I had to give way. But credit to Colquit, Prater, and Cosby, they have played well.

Those were my two choices as well

Though I went with RB’s because I don’t think anyone expect them to be as good as they are.

I am a bear of very little brains and big words bother me.

Is it just me?

I thought “worst squad” meant “guys who were the most disappointing/bad” so I’m torn between coaching/secondary/oline. Everyone seems to be voting for the best, though…

What? I think the poll says best squad

Well that was depressing...

I'm going with linebackers but yeah...this is sad.

As the ancient Tibetan Philosophy states "Don't start none, won't be none!"

Hey at least we won't have to draft a ST or LB in the early round this year

isn't the poll for "WORST squad"?

I think the special teams might be one of our strongest units. either QB or Oline might be the worst.

good timing...

by mast on Nov 5, 2011 12:26 PM MDT up reply actions

The next post if for worst squad

But it’s not up yet, and the poll does say best squad doesn’t it? At least that’s what it’s showing on my computer, which has been known to make mistakes.

Prater

Is Prater a midget or a child????

by Baghdad on Nov 5, 2011 12:58 PM MDT reply actions

He could be both

Breast squad

Maybe it says breast squad

I voted for Special Teams as they have made some improvement.

I think the LBer position will make us happy before the season is over.

by bfree2bronc on Nov 5, 2011 2:17 PM MDT reply actions

We have some good squads, just not enough of them to make us win

If Shanny was still our coach....

….Eric Decker would be transforming himself into a tight end….

….and Tight Ends would be getting a lot more than three votes

Gonsoulin, Taylor, Wright, Gradishar, Atwater, and Davis.....
Why are they not in the Hall...I just don't understand.

Don't worry, MVP is coming up

You can vote for Decker there.

As a matter of fact, if he can't figure out QB...

…Tebow might make a decent Tight End….

….just a thought…
