Yes, it became clear it shouldnt be him based on a single late season loss. But he was in the running through most of last year. Only one person can win. I guess the 2nd or 3rd or 4th best player in the league is trash since they didn't come in 1st?
Grow up.
He got one vote and it wasn’t even a first place vote. He predominantly plays well against the NFC least and the poor pass defenses of the league and not so much against the tougher defenses in the league. His so-called “runner-up” MVP season reflected the former because it was against statistically the 32nd pass defense in the league. Therefore, you can likely chalk up that one vote to a Dak “homer”, like some who exist here. If the media (which changes like the wind) really considered him a candidate, he would’ve received more votes.
The MVP award should go to a player who is most significant to the winning of the team (across the league). A few years ago, the team had the same record and went 5-1 with Rush as the QB, and the pass defenses weren’t statistically the worst in the league.
Also, I fail to see how my post was immature such that it was required with the “grow up” imperative. An applicable analogy is neither childish name calling nor is it dozens of laughing emoticons some people post.
