IMO:

-Medlock a "lock" for league MOST

-Leggett and Loffler legitimate should get some major consideration as well. 

With Rainey and Paredes, Medlock might not even make it out of the west, but if he does, I can't see anyone from the east beating him.

Medlock beats Parades in nearly every way and is perfect on converts, while Parades has missed 7 of them.

Rainey's a wild card but I don't think he has been as consistent as Medlock.

How would Fantuz ever be a justifiable choice over E-Jax for Eastern MOP?

88 catches, 1225 yards, 10 touchdowns

101 catches, 1059 yards, 5 touchdowns

I know who I'm taking. I mean no offense to Fantuz, but even Nik Lewis is having a more productive year.

The #Stamps should win 4 league awards: MOP - Mitchell, CDN - Messam, OL - Dennis & MOR - Daniels. Rest of #CFL competing for remaining 2.

Hughes should be in the running for MODP, too. #Stamps will clean up on awards night. #CFL

Point taken. 7 missed converts and the fact that Medlock also punts gives him an advantage over Paredes.

Rainey's the best returner in the league IMO, so it's big returns vs great consistency. Voters might go with the more exciting guy.

Fogg has a higher punt return avg. Despite having 4 TD called back.

It's Medlock and it's literally not even close.

Is this supposed to be a predictions thread too... well here's mine anyways, winners bolded:

West: MOP - BLM; Cdn - Messam; Def - Leggett; OL - Dennis; ST - Medlock; MOR - Justin Cox

East: MOP - Jackson; Cdn - Fantuz; Def - Lemon; OL - Gott; ST - Banks; MOR - Revenberg

I doubt they would do this b/c it looks bad... but to me, it's a west sweep...

In all honesty though, how could you argue it would NOT be a West division sweep?

Medlock would be our MOP......if it was MVP, then I get Nichols, 'cause QB is everything in the CFL......but it's Outstanding.....and that's Medlock in a runaway.

If that was true, sask should have been a lot better. mtl should have been better before going young at qb, ham should be in the basement, and edm should be 2nd in the league not 4th.
