In some respects E Logic, I felt that myself, but he is the best player I have had in my team that is either retired or about to retire. The better ones will be around for a number of seasons yet.

I just wanted managers to have a think and look at their squads to give wisengrund some lines of enquiry to follow up on as I do like this idea.

In my opinion the biggest thing for an OL is successful block %. And having looked at his carreer I believe his successful block % is to low having around the low 70% when in the top flight and an all time low in his career of 55% in season 8.


I am not sure about the validity of the block % as a tool to measure OL success (it varies vastly between the tough competiton outside each and every snap) but I also think that Hensley might be a stretch, since his 1700+ league pancakes do not even crack to all time top 50 there.

I thought I might do an upadte post here, about the various progress that has been made so far:

Proposed candidates, and their current status

Marek Kropácek (DL, Slavia Pankrac) - majority opinion: IN (Debate)
Tyson Cyr (WR, Southern Georgia Red Beavers) - majority opinion OUT (Debate)
Arturo Ramsey (OL, Landru Athletics) - Debate in progress
Roger Hensley (OL, Guisborough Priors) - Debate requested, not yet started

Again, anyone is invited to start Debate threads and open up discussion! The more people join in the Debates the easier it becomes to see the general consensus.

So far, its seems we have one candidate who could get enshrined. I think our first enshrinement ceremony could happen in the upcoming offseason, maybe we can get a few more candidates up until then?

I have a OL who is retiring this year. Silas Labbe (OL) who ive played at OG for most of his career but this season he will be playing OC so his blocking stats will drop a lot although he still has more than 50% successful blocks as a OC this season which is pretty good for that position.
Although he played most of his league career in the 2nd tier he has still preformed very well in tier 1 and has a championship ring all be it a tier 2 title.

He also has 3 personal awards
2nd best OL of the League Thunder 1.1 in Season 9
3rd best OL of the League Thunder 2.1 in Season 7
Best OL of the League Thunder 2.1 in Season 5

Why not also do a Thunder MVP every season?

Vote on all the top players of their position and see which had a greater impact for their team.

I think the levels among themselves are not comparable due to the difference in bot numbers between the levels. And votes for league MVPs.... I'd be all for a vote for a Thunder 1.1 MVP (or all-pro team?) each season, but the response in the forum was too lukewarm so far for such a endeavour.
