I'll freely admit I'm the worlds most stupid man, but ironically enough I do think I do have a couple of ounces of common sense. Could you explain to someone like myself exactly who does award the Defensive Player Of the Year award, and exactly how those people who vote play into the equation of the award?

Common sense tells me those people you listed are "picked" to vote.

At this point, I don't understand the correlation between sports writers and the Associated press, if that helps.

not sure how they are picked but it looks like they need to have a long career before they are offered a vote.

What organization gives those voters who have a long career in sports journalism a "right" to vote if those same writers you listed who are allowed to vote aren't employed by the same business entity?

Does playoff performance get taken into account? The fact that the Boys are going to the playoffs (thus giving Parsons more opportunity to showcase himself) and the Steelers probably are not could tip the odds in favor of Micah.

If you told me one year ago that the Cowboys would have TWO defensive players considered more valuable than Aaron Donald I would have laughed in your face.

Funny thing is I looked I didn’t even see the DROY category up anymore. Cause he’s got it locked up. Guys gonna be DROY… pro bowler… all pro… and maybe DPOY all in his first season.

I do agree though he needs a big game sat.. cause there are gonna be some Lawrence Taylor giants guys… or anti cowboys media members who won’t vote for him.

He deserves it though…. Watts team isn’t in the playoffs

Steelers not getting in the playoffs and Dallas having a great great season should be the difference maker here. But who knows if that’s how it will play out.

The Steelers are in the playoffs where have you been?

A lot changed since then. Keep Up
He doesn’t need to keep up. You said the Steelers weren’t getting to the playoffs (as if it were a fact) and you were wrong. Just own up to it and move on. :cool:
