Objectively speaking, MVP is a much, much greater accomplishment than winning the super bowl.  Only 11 players in history have won multiple MVPs.  Many, many, many more have won multiple super bowls.  To be the absolute best player in the league is an individual accomplishment only one guy can achieve each year.  Winning the superbowl is something 53 guys each year get to achieve.

Winning MVP isn't really an individual award in reality.  Cam doesn't sniff that award without the 2015 Panthers D doing the work they did. 

Cam completely 59% of his passes that year and was 16th in passing yards...leading what wasn't technically a top 10 offense given they are ranked by yardage.  And at the time, he was logging his worst yards per carry since arriving into the league. 

The team did have a lot of TDs.  A massive part of why they had a lot of TDs was the defense ***No defense in the last 10 years has had more takeaways than that unit

Now, I'm not really trying to poop on Cam by saying that.  I just don't think individual awards in the ultimate team sport carry the weight some give them.

You can weight things the other way as well.  They had one of the least talented offenses in the league that season with complete cast offs to throw the ball to.

True but it wasn’t like he put up some one in a decade type season for his MVP….

the D did something unique

      Winning isn't enough for Panther fans.

      How would he get ahead of Aaron Rodgers? Rodgers is at a nearly 69% completion rate w/ 17 TDs to 5 INTs.   Comfortably ahead of Bryce in every statistical aspect of he position.  I get Rodgers is old as dirt but.....the production is pretty significantly better.

      I hear you, the sense of anger and resentment on the Huddle is bad even by Huddle Standards... I've tried to be pretty measured on Bryce lately.  I want him to succeed.  And I do think he does some things well, and makes plays.  When he throws with anticipation, things look good.   The problem is we're not seeing Bama Bryce anymore.  We drafted Bama Bryce.  We get 5.0 YPA Bryce.  It's not exciting football.  I love the wins, so I don't care that much about how pretty things are.  The reality is fantasy football and sports gambling have overrun many people's perspectives on football and sports at large.  Most fans want to see the big plays down the field for their own excitement.  Most knowledgeable fans want to see it as a way to keep a D honest, close the door on an opponent, and just better execute good football. Remember the old Bill Belichick expression: "Stats are for losers."  I'd much rather have ugly wins than pretty losses.  But I can still enjoy a pretty loss on the HOPE that next time we'll get that bounce of luck our way.   Wins and losses are often stated as a QB stat when football is a team game.  We saw how Flacco has a career day but the Cincy D let him down.  Does that loss count against Flacco?  It shouldn't because W/L should be a Head Coach stat. As far as game winning drives as a stat, it's not overly important.  It's cool, certainly so.  It's also a team stat.  If WRs don't catch the ball, if OL don't block, etc it's a moot point anyway.  Like we had in Philly last year.  Ideally, you shouldn't be in that position at the end of the game. Now as far as Bryce himself, I want him to do well.  I want him to take the position of franchise QB instead of have it placed gently upon his head.  I just don't think he's that guy.  We'll finish this season with Bryce, and if he proves he's the guy and puts us in a winning position, great.  If not, then we bring in competition for him.  Or we trade him.
