#7: Ben

For the first half of the cycle Ben put a strong case in to be the highest-ranked non-champ on my list, but with his regression in the final couple seasons combined with the rest of the division quickly catching up to him he slots in at #7 on my list. In my opinion, Ben firmly put the “all-team” moniker some had put on his name behind him with his run of two straight Super Bowl appearances this cycle. Yes, he had one of the better rosters in the league, but he didn’t have gunslinger and his defense, while solid, wouldn’t singlehandedly win games for him like mine often did. The Texans situation will put his abilities as a teambuilder and user to their greatest test yet, and I look forward to see what levels of success he can find starting off with such a talent deficit.

The next "NFC power house" is Ben coming in at 7. Ben had an interesting cycle but he did make a super bowl. Ben was in the toughest division of the cycle and more often than not showed it was "his" division. He did fall apart a bit as the cycle started to wind down which lands him at #7 on my list.

#7: Ben

He would consider this cycle a failure. He did make 2 SB (should have been 3 if he could make an ice FG) appearances that were disappointing results. Ben was able to win what was one of toughest divisions on a regular basis. His offense was effective and his defense was solid. All around a solid performance for this cycle but it seemed good users caught on to Ben’s tendencies towards the end and were able to defeat him more often than not. Interesting what he does this next cycle with the worst roster in the league

Won a ring, but was wildly inconsistent throughout the cycle. If he didn’t get that ring, i think he’d be closer to 10 or 11 but i have to give him respect. He heavily relied on the run with banyard so I’m interested to see if he can find any success without him.

#7: Cmass

Cmass had a lot of success in M21 but there is some reason to pause. Season 1 did not make the playoffs, and the last season he lost in the first round. The correlation? He did not have gunslinger. Although he has proven he is a very good user, he has not shown that he can win without a certain ability. I also feel that the users above him either accomplished more in M21 or slightly gained more respect as a user.
