Rookies of the month on the CCS are the newest up and coming posters. The people we see as being major contributors to the board. While giving out the monthly awards I was thinking about how many of these rookies were gems and how many were busts (Ryan Leafs LOL).

Let's look at this from a draft point of view.

UMan85: Tom Brady status right here. Flew under the radar into the site and into our hearts. UMan is a daily contributor and major poster on CCS. Taking him out of CCS is like taking Brady out of the Patriots offense.

Captain Obvious: Captain Obvious was a strong reach. He came in as the upbeat younger Cubs fan who knew his stuff. Over time argued and argued and argued with Dewey to the point of exhaustion and burned out. Still contributes here and there. He is the Marc Brunell of Rookie of the Months.

Veritas: 1st round bust like Gino Torretta.

Matthew: 1st round bust like Veritas. Matthew claimed to be Veritas' roommate. Both of them posted great for a month and then vanished. Hmmm.....

Windycity7: Adrian Peterson type selection here. WC7 contributes a bunch in many different forums. His only downfall is he's an eagles fan, besides that he's a perfect poster and a really cool guy.

Jysen: Hall of fame material. Jysen does most of his posting from his phone which makes his posting all the more impressive. Funny as shit and can roll with the punches. Ideal poster.

AddisonStiation: AddisonStation is like Carson Palmer, a couple years ago he was on top of his game. Then he got a real job and started posting less. He comes by here and there but he's still 10/10. Maybe Carson Palmer wasn't a good comparison...Carson sucks lol.

Giaco: Giaco is a solid poster, normal contributor in a vastly uncrowded Chicago Fire forum. His stock would be a lot higher if he would get more Fire fans posting ;)

Shawon0Meter: Solid contributor, worthy of the selection. He doesn't post a high volume but, his posts are always quality. Like others, he is an ideal poster to have on the site.

Gunzaan: Gunzaan has his flashes. I'd compare him to Chris Johnson at the moment. Came into CCS awesome, people loved him, over time pissed a couple people off and insulted them lol. Not neccesarily a flash in the pan, still an active contributor, despite his Green Bay fandom. I consider him one of the smartest posters on the website.

Utahbullfans: He's a Tyson Chandler type selection here. Great couple months of posting during the Bulls season and then faded away, only to come back into the mix (when the Bulls season starts) but due to the lockout he hasn't been posting as he's a Chicago Bulls fan only pretty much.

BNB: Hall of fame material as well. Pretty much see UMan's description.

Rice Cube: Ideal poster to have, friendly, informative, etc.

HawkyTalky: He burned out a little but, probably a reach on the pick. He was very anti-another message board and posted a lot his first month. He doesn't post "as much" here so I think he may have been posting over there as well. Still a good poster, wish he posted more.

onebud34: Great rookie campaign, besides that he's been a huge flop. Doesn't post at all anymore in the Bears forum.

Depaulfan21: He's active and helps populate the site with posts. He's younger so he has a lot of potential to grow into a better poster. With time, we'll see that. Good poster to have, we'll mold him into a better poster. His comparison lines up with that of a Dexter McCluster. He's a project.

Dementia: Still waiting to see how Dementia pans out. He won this past month and was a little bit under the radar but that was due to the lack of new posters to choose from.

You should do one for Posters of the Month... or I'll do it myself:

Wrigley FireHawks: Won because he argued with CO on Dewey's side. Now everybody (mainly TBO) except DePaulfan21, giaco, and Fifa12FIRE want him gone.
Everybody Else: Still great posters.

Uman85 is a great poster and has always been active except for when he rage quit.

Captain Obvious sucks.

Veritas is probably dead.

Matthew is probably Veritas and thus probably dead.

Windycity7 is a beast, but w post in different forums for the most part.

Jysen's value declined 50% by the arcade being removed.

AddisonStation is a ghost.

Giaco is a great poster, knows his soccer and has great passion for his team. Also hates the Revolution and Red Bulls which is always a plus. Also can hook people up with some cheap tickets right behind the net because he is a Section 8 member. Wish he's post in Hawks forum more. Has had his periods of inactivity, but I reached out and brought him back and he is much more active as of late.

Shawon0Meter doesn't post enough.

Gunzaan pisses people off, which is fun whenever it isn't about Christianity or soccer.

Utahbullsfan is unknown to me.

BNB and I post in different forums, but he's a great poster regardless.

Rice Cube is awesome, and helped get my blog readers before I stopped doing it, knew about his blog for a few years, good read.

HawkyTalky is a solid poster.

onebud34, Who?

DePaulfan21 :hi5:

Dementia is someone I'm still getting to know.

lol, i think I was Rookie runner up way back when, and I was really bummed, but then I got my Poster of the Month Award, and...it eased the pain much. Cant remember who beat me out, but I think he fizzled as a poster.
