#1: Austin
Boy, you talk about twisting the knife. Heading into the cycle I thought Austin would be a playoff contender, but I adamantly said in the pre-cycle pod that [redacted] would be the long-term power in that division and that the miserable state of the Patriots roster would keep Austin from reaching the league’s elite for most of the cycle. Egg on my face. I can’t ever remember a time where one user mentally owned damn near ...

#3: Dan
Boy, you talk about a COLOSSAL leap in my rankings from the beginning of season 7 to the end. Dan woulda been in that Lucky-Kiing zone for me were it not for a Super Bowl run that came out of nowhere and a huge statement to the rest of the league to close the cycle. I’m not really sure what went wrong before that season… Dan always had impressive individual performances but seemingly couldn’t string it together for fu...

#4: Cmass
That INT man… that fucking INT. One of the all-time great Super Bowls in our league’s history and that’s how it ends. Tuff. We knew Cmass was at the very least a solid user heading into M21, but the way he was able to both craft his team around his ideal playstyle and cement a strategy that very few users knew how to shut down defensively was very impressive. There’s a lot of buzz around the league that perhap...

#5: Lil Alex
So yeah, if we’re going pure user skill on this/who had the most consistently elite cycle then Alex probably deserves to be higher. Couldn’t justify ranking him above someone who made the bowl twice and above three actual super bowl champions, it is what it is. Now that the BL Awards are set in stone I can admit that Alex was BY FAR the most improved user from M20 to M21, someone who proved they belong in the conversati...

#6: Connor
*insert Paul Rudd “Who would’ve thought” gif here*
Probably the biggest fluke of a Super Bowl run you’ll ever see in the BL but a ring is a ring! I had flashes of above-average passing throughout the cycle but was inconsistent in that department, what separated my M21 cycle from all previous was a combination of the filthy defense I was blessed with and a huge leap forward in my ability to stay calm...

#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 ...

#8: Steel
Steel’s divisional rivalry with Dan was the most fascinating two-man race in the league over the course of the entire cycle, and though he never won a Super Bowl he was one of the most feared users in the NFC through the entirety of M21. There was a baffling degree of inconsistency both season-to-season (missed playoffs 3x, had one or two strange losses almost every season), but I have to give him his respect for competing with ...

#9: Lucky
Lucky started the year off the year off weak, but I think he was the most improved user from the start of the cycle to the end. His growth from being fourth in the division year one to the NFC championship the final season is enough to put him in the top 10 to close the cycle. He could compete with anyone on any given day and when he consistently started to put out clean performances, he was a force to be feared.
