Kevin Wilson Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It isn't fair, but I think if Watt had broken the sack record and made the playoffs, he could have won. I say it isn't fair, but realistically speaking a defensive player will have to have literally one of the greatest seasons ever by a player at their position, and hope there isn't an offensive 'stand out'. It is similar to a pitcher winning in MLB, voters like to give it to players that touch the ball more and lead to offense, not defensive and less visible positions. So it could happen, the stars would just have to align. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 In 2012 he had one of the greatest seasons by a defender ever and they made the playoffs, and I don't know that he even got any votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammedboehm Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 And in 2012 you had the winner almost brake a record most think is highly unlikely to be broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboy Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Watt also accounted for more than 10% of the Texans receiving touchdowns (as many as Andre Johnson!). How many INTs did Rodgers catch? None, the lazy swine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 And in 2012 you had the winner almost brake a record most think is highly unlikely to be broken.I don't begrudge AD the mvp (the father of the year trophy on the other hand...) my point is just that Watt did everything you could possibly ask a defender to in 2012 and got jackshit. This is progress, but in a year when he was this fucking good and nobody has a historic season at qb or rb... If not this year, when?Defensive players just can't win mvp anymore. Not that they ever did all that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 We should probably just accept the fact that a defensive player will never win another MVP award, no matter how much they might deserve it. Yeah, if Watt didn't win with the season he just had then what does a defensive player have to do to win? That said, it's not like Rodgers was a bad choice, just incredibly unimaginative. Convert to QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGoldman Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It's hard to see a bright side in this, but at least he is voluntarily getting the help he needs. Everyone has a right to try and better themselves free of scorn. While I selfishly hope this leads to him fixing it on the field, I would settle for him ending up a healthier, better person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nature of the position itself is that the QB has more on an impact on the game than any one defensive player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
