They’ve screwed themselves over in that regard to the point they have to figure out if they want to give it to Lamar again because of how they’ve voted in the past. Barkley has to get it this year though I would think.
Surprise...
It’s the argument of if everyone gets paid the same then isn’t that the market? How do we determine what’s overpaid? Mahomes is clearly underpaid for sure. But Tua, Hurts, Lawrence, Love….they all in the same tax bracket.
Not worried about other QBs. My concern is the Dallas Cowboys over paying players and making them highest paid in NFL.
I didn’t switch anything you never said nothing about first place votes. You said he didn’t get one vote and that’s factually wrong. If you want to say he didn’t get a first place vote I wouldn’t say anything.
In order to understand how salaries work though you have to be “worried” about other players so when you see Micah get a 30 million plus a year deal you are by shocked. It’s also why you can hold your team accountable for waiting so long to sign players to contracts….
I was replying to a post
Good post, well said
To me it just kinda is what it is...The MVP I dont get nearly as caught up in as I used to. I just dont care all that much about individual accomplishments in a team game, especially one like MVP where everyone seems to have different opinions of what it actually means to be MVP. Even the voting I kinda liked the old system better, but it doesnt change the results. I can't say Washington wasnt a playoff team because I liked the old playoff format better and they wouldnt have gotten in.
I'm with you there. If you ask 10 people what the criteria for MVP is you'll probably get 5 different answers. Best stats? Biggest impact on their team? Best player? Best player on a playoff team? I think the award has lost a lot of its significance over the years, but maybe thats just me getting older and not caring as much too.
Why do we act like that year was some glorious moment? Did we or did we not go home in the 2nd round and nearly went one and done against Detroit?
I have no issue with players making large sums of money. But I don’t believe making someone the highest paid player in the history of the NFL when they are not worth that. We do have a thing called the salary cap where you try to build a complete team. If this was like baseball with no salary cap, then I couldn’t care less what a player makes.
I dont have an issue with the Cowboys paying players high dollar, but if they are going to spend towards the bottom half of the league they need to be more selective on who they pay, and get creative with offloading guys. Letting their contracts expire for comp picks, and waiting until the last minute to sign guys to extensions isnt a method for success.
