Who would have thought 

[Mr. Scot]

I feel like he's been up for this at least three times now

[Donald LaFell]

Probably the best game of his career as well as the team. Stats might not be impressive enough to win though.

I never base "great performance" choices on stats. 

There's soooo much more to football than stats.

How many times did Jamarcus Russell win, I'm trying to check something

[jasonluckydog]

Bryce Young

Anthony Richardson 

CJ Stroud

Will Levis

CJ is in the lead but BY is catching him if you compare stats. Right now I believe we picked the best QB in that class. 

Stroud has a Pro Bowl but BY could make a case if he stays consistent.

3 TDs and no turnovers + outdueling the MVP favorite is how

First of all, just because we won the game, doesn't mean he "out dueled" the MVP.  Played better?  Sure, I'll give you that since Stafford had the TO's, but our running game and defense won this game, Bryce didn't "out duel" Stafford.  Our running game and defense made it a game, Bryce made 2 TD throws, but I wouldn't say 2 passes equates to "out dueling" in any way.

This is supposed to be (at least the way I've always viewed it) as a vote for who had the best statistical performances for the week.

So why does 206 yards and 3 TDs beat out say, Mahomes' 261 and 4 TDs?  How does AJ Brown's 10 rec, 132 yds, 2 TDs get left off the list?  I think Jameson (7, 144, 1), Rice (8, 92, 2) and Wicks (6, 94, 2) also might be clear omissions I'd put in there over Bryce too.

I'm not bashing Bryce's performance, I just struggle to see how 206 yards gets a nomination for the "air and ground player of the week".  

If this was just "MVP of the week" then I'd say there is a stronger argument, and maybe it's on me for just how I interpret what this award is supposed to mean.
