NLL Insider

Well, the American Idolish style votes are in (and it’s a fan poll people, get a grip, your lives aren’t seriously that sad, are they???) and with close to 4,500 submitted, the results came back kinda like most probably thought they woulda.

John Tavares and John Grant went back and forth throughout the week, with the Buffalo Bandits’ legend just eeking out a 25 vote lead.

Bottom line though, think it’s pretty safe to say that “this” generations top dawgs are definitely between the two past Champion’s Cup winning snipers.

How do they stack up past those two Cups? Check it out after the jump.

John Tavares

NLL regular season scoring titles: 7 (93, 94, 96, 00, 01, 03, 04)

NLL All Pro First Team: 14 (93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 00, 01, 03, 04, 05, 07, 08)
NLL All Pro Second Team: 2 (02, 06)

John Grant

NLL post-season MVP: 1 (07)
NLL All Pro First Team: 5 (00, 01, 05, 06, 07)

No doubt Tavares’ resume is more loaded, especially during those dominating years with Six Nations and Buffalo, but what coulda Grant done had he not been sidelined potentially forever? Could he have come close to JT’s legandary stacked mantle? And if he does make an improbable comeback in 2010, does he still have a shot?
