Guess the league lost my address with all my moves crisscrossing the country as I ve still not received a ballot for the end of the season awards and All-Arena teams like I did in 2008 and last year. Nonetheless, here s the
Breaking it Down version of the AFL awards and All-Arena teams.
- Nick Davila, Arizona QB
I have a sneaking suspicion that the league will give this to Aaron Garcia, but Davila was outstanding on the league s best team week-in and week-out. Davila tied the AFL single-season mark with 117 passing touchdowns, while leading the league in passer rating and having the least amount of interceptions of any player that started at least ten games. As for Garcia, he did have 18 more passing yards than Davila, but also had seven more interceptions on a team that was not as dominate as the Rattlers in 2011.
