NFL MVP

So seriously, how the HECK are you choosing an MVP this year? I think you could legit make a case for 4 different guys.

Lamar:​

66.7% 4,172 yds (6th) 41 TD (2nd) 4 INT (2nd...3 of which bounced off his receivers hands) RT 119.6 (1st)

First QB in HISTORY with 40+ TDs and < 5 INTs and 4k yards

Oh and he's probably the 2nd most prolific runner at the position in history.
915 yards rushing, 4 TDs

Over 5,000 total yards, 45 TDs and only 4 INTs. INSANE


Burrow:​

70.6% 4,918 yards (#1) 43TD (#1) 9 INT (#10) RT 108.5 (#3)

Just an incredible passing season (#22 all time yards, #10 in TDs)

Adds in 200 yards and 2 TDs rushing...I bring that up because that ties him with Lamar for total touchdowns with 45.

Biggest knock is not making the playoffs, but I always think it's moronic to punish a player because of team wins/losses (but I understand that's how it works)



Allen:​

63.6% 3,731 yards (#14) 28TD (#7) 6 INT (#6) RT 101.4 (#3)

Passing stats were really good, but not outstanding like the other two.

Adds a very respectable 531 yards and 12 TDs (WOW) for 40 total TDs. He has 65 career rushing touchdowns, more than a lot of running backs...Lamar has 33 career FWIW. Lamar is the better runner, but Josh is pretty dang impactful when he does run.

Josh's case might be more of a "big play" argument. His stats don't blow you away as much as the first two, but he's a highlight reel a lot of the time.



Barkley:​

2,005 yards rushing, 13 TDs and only ONE fumble lost.

Including him because personally I think it's tragic he's not really been in the conversation. This guy is so dangerous and that stupid backwards jump over the defender is a highlight reel for life (like Beckham's catch).

What's kind of sad is they sat him out with a shot to break the record against his former team (notice, I didn't say it was the wrong decision, just sad).











So...if you had a vote, who gets it? I probably put Burrow last even though he's been incredible especially the 2nd half...but between the other 3 it's a tough call...maybe lean Lamar...maybe.

It’s going Well?

I looked at the Portal roster from Nebraska. There is a lot of Talent on that list, but not much production.

I am Danny Kaelin’s biggest fan. I wish him well and feel he’s doing the right thing for him.

I would have liked to seen Coleman stay. Lots of rumors and gossiping towards him though. I don’t have any inside information but he is great talent with real potential. But zero production to replace. I wish him well.

There are so many WR’s in the Portal I don’t see an attempt to change his mind.

J Butler and Nate B I’d like to have back. Looking at the rest of them, again some real talent there but little production to replace. The Portal offers a great opportunity to upgrade, if 1890 has the money.

GBR!
