Since some of you troglodytes and neophytes need a deeper breakdown on why Josh Allen deservedly and rightfully won the NFL MVP, allow me to educate you. I don’t have any crayons, so try to keep up.
Let’s start with something simple—because apparently, a lot of you don’t get this. The All-Pro team and the MVP award are two separate things. Just because someone is voted as the best player at their position doesn’t automatically mean they should win MVP. That’s a lazy and foolish assumption, yet I see it being thrown around constantly like it’s gospel.
Yes, I’ll acknowledge the obvious—Lamar Jackson statistically was the best quarterback in the league this season. That’s fine. But here’s where many of you are lost: MVP stands for Most Valuable Player. When you take a deeper look at the tape, the reality is clear—Josh Allen was more valuable to his team than Lamar Jackson was to his.
The Double Standard No One Wants to Talk About
Let’s not act brand new. This exact scenario played out before, just in reverse. Last year, Lamar Jackson didn’t have better numbers than Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, or even Christian McCaffrey, and yet he walked away with MVP. Why? Because people made the assumption that what he was doing was more valuable.
Fast forward to this year, and suddenly, those same folks are crying foul because their guy finally put up the flashy stats that typically win MVP—but the system didn’t work in his favor this time. Funny how that works, huh?
The System Is Working Exactly as It Should
What we’re seeing now is the system being applied consistently—it’s just that now, it doesn’t benefit your guy, so you don’t like it. The criteria hasn’t changed. The only thing that’s changed is who the award is favoring this year.
Josh Allen carried the Bills in a way that no other player in the league did for their team. The MVP award isn’t just a numbers game—it’s about impact, about what happens when you’re on that field, and how your presence changes the game.
So, Lamar Jackson fans, I get it. It stings. But deal with it. This is how the system works, and this time, it worked exactly as it should.
