    I wasn’t even alive but John Elway winning in 1987 with 23 total TD Is still upsetting, Jerry Rice had 23 total as well.

    Literally only way I see a non QB winning anymore is if a RB breaks the Season TD record , or a defender shatters the Sack/Interception record. And i mean Shatters, by like 5 or 6

      In defense of '87 (even though it’s still a travesty Rice didn’t win), the only reason Elway won was because Montana and Rice split the vote due to being on the same team IIRC

        Is it that crazy if Garrett conceivably gets 23, they have the best defense in at least a decade by most advanced stats, and the QB field at the end of the season is as bleak as it looks now? He’d definitely start getting votes, if only as a protest

          Yes. Bland just set the record for pick 6s in a season. Mccaffrey might score 25 to 30 tds. Hill might have 2k receiving yds.

          He would need score som tds or start going jj watt and swatting passes as well

              And tj watt scored a td that won a game for the Steelers. He is also not mvp.

              There are too many offensive players and also another defensive player that would make garrets selection confounding

            He had two strip sacks that led to points, including 1 that was recovered in the endzone for a defensive TD, and blocked a field goal which also led to points, all in the same game against the Colts. A game we won by 1 point. And that’s not the only game he’s won for us.

          You can say that all you want but if the Cowboys were faced with keeping either Bland or Dak, you’d make fun of them for ditching Dak. 5 pick sixes is cool, but in every game he’s had a pick six, they won by double digits. Sure, momentum is a thing, but take last night’s for an example. They win that game whether Bland plays or not. You can’t guarantee that of Dak doesn’t play.
