Tomorrow is the last game for quarterback Yong Mcwhorter. I wouldn’t say that he’s the best Elite League player ever…but he’s certainly in the conversation. He probably has the most hardware, 3 Elite League Titles, 3 SuperCups and 2 CofC Championships plus a host of other trophies.
He was the prototype QB for a now past era, the era of the unsackable QB. His regular season elite league statistics were 128 games, 27,000 yards, 65% completion percentage, 265 TDs, 23 Interceptions, only 23 sacks (14 in this final season) and a QB Rating of 95.93. He is also the all-time elite league leader in game MVP awards with 57. But Mcwhorter wasn’t always destine for greatness with the Blitz. He started with the Waiheke Island Kiwis before being placed for sale. Despite several other bidders, San Diego managed to grab him for the bargain price of $40M (apparently bwadders76 went to bed, leaving me the opportunity to outbid him). After spending a bit of time on the bench, he began starting for the Blitz taking over for Johnie “Football” Grisham in Season #16. He continued for the next 8 seasons until tomorrow when he’ll place his final game. Good bye Yong! Steve SD Blitz |

I tried to hand him a final loss, but he wouldn't let me. 
ETA: IF we should ever start an elite league hall of fame, he would be a worthy first-ballot inductee... Last edited on 2016-12-17 15:23:29 by wiesengrund |

Congrats to Mcwhorter on an amazing career
Luciano Moscati can brag about getting 3 of these sacks in our Elite game this season and at 34 he'll be my first player ever to remain on the team at 35 next season  |

If I could have Mcwhorter for another season (at 35 yo), I'd have a good chance of repeating some of these trophies. I think my other losses are replaceable. However, QB is kind of a big unknown next season.
Best of luck to all next season... Steve S Blitz |

But I put a winning bid in close to the deadline and nobody else was online bidding. $40M....was a bargain I think! Bwadders ....just think of where he could have been.... :-) Steve SD Blitz |

Psh, he's only got a 4.5 player rating. I'm not impressed unless he's a 5.
