Goat of the Year
A first team, or primary vote gives a player 2 pts and a second team or runner-up vote gives a player 1 pt. Most points wins. Since 6 people voted, 12 pts would be a unanimous selection.
Goat of the Year:
Goat: Brandon Jacobs (3 pts, 1 1st place vote)
Runner-Up: Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Brian Westbrook, Carson Palmer all received 1 1st place vote
Also receiving 1 reunner-up vote: Matt Hasselbeck Jason Witten, Kerry Collins, Clinton Portis, Eli Manning
Brandon was the only guy to appear on two ballots. But goat is a pretty inexact science.
Brandon was my first choice actually, Witten was my second choice. But I mostly focused on people who played more and still did not do well. Kerry Collins was a particularly interesting choice as someone who ended up not playing much, but could have been expected to do better, or at least finish out the season starting in the NFL...

Don't see how Forte didn't win this in a walk. He was a concensus #2 overall pick at preseason, and some even had him going #1 ahead of AP. Even if he made double the 60 points he had, he still would have been a letdown from what was expected of him.
I had a hard time with my own vote here. Oddly, the idea of looking at pre-season fantasy rankings never occurred to me, but that makes a lot of sense.
