538 Article - Romo's Been Great But He Isn't The MVP

[DandyDon1722]

This guy goes to great lengths to make his case for Aaron Rodgers. It's so complicated, it's like I'm in school again doing algebra. I can't figure it all out but maybe Percy can. Then he talks about the "clutch" stat and he writes "Gulp" - then I kind of knew something was up.

Then I looked at his bio-- He's lived in Philly and New York. So there you go.

If you're good at statistical information and you can make sense of it here it is. Maybe somebody smarter than me can translate it and tell us if he has a point.

I figured it was crap after he said Romo was coming off his worst 2 seasons. 2013 was arguably his best year before 2014.

Thanks Percy - I'd love to see you go toe to tow with this guy. I can handle statistical analysis leading to a conclusion, but don't skew it with agenda driven commentary.

He cited PFF which ranked Brees 4 spots above Romo for the season. Brees threw away 3 games singlehandedly including the division decider. His team is 6-9

so when you can't dazzle them with facts baffle them with bull ****?

Overcomplicated analytics. Clickbait.

Frankly, I think it's too early to anoint Romo or any other player as the MVP thus far. There are a number of people deserving of it and there is still football to be played.

Super Bowl MVP is the only one that matters.
