Clearly you're not familiar with many of my stances :shades:

In fact, I do not like phony's.....this is true.  (which depending on who it is may be completely separate from their athletic ability/accomplishments)

ok

Serial adulterer, whopping drug habit, carelessly shot an employee/friend and then tried to shaft him, used threats of suicide to manipulate people (clearly indicates some level of mental instability, which I do have some compassion for).....

Payton was a human being and like all of us, a flawed human being. 

That it's named for him just seems odd to me since the spirit of that award seems to run completely counter to Payton's off-the-field behaviour --- he had a well cultivated public image which was very contrary to the truth (and I don't think he asked for the award to be named for him, it was renamed for him after he passed).

You spoke too soon...

Just curious what your beef is with Payton and why you didn’t think he is worthy of the NFLMOY award being named after him. I’m sure your response will be very well thought out and will make a lot of sense

Heck, I'm a fan of Walter Payton. 

That the league named the award after him is laughable...

... but I sure loved watching him play! 

Are you old enough to have seen him 

I am old enough to have seen him play, honestly I dont care about him one way or the other. I just find it odd that you complain about every player ever mentioned on these forums

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
