1 million percent agree.

But this isn't "football", it's the "air and ground player of the week"

I think you should ONLY be looking at stats for something like that, and maybe that's just a personal way of interpreting this award.

Jerome Bettis once took part in a game where he had five carries for negative one yard. Did those stats define his importance in that game?

I'm always gonna look at the role somebody plays as infinitely more important than their stats.

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. 

 

 

I've got to drink a triple Scotch before I comment on that.

But we're not talking about someone's role or importance to a team, that's an entirely different conversation.  In general, when you're just talking about building a roster or how a team looks, or anything along those lines, then I 100% agree with you.

But this is for the Air and Ground Player of the Week.

To me, I've always interpreted that as who had the best passing/rushing/recieving performances of the week, completely separate and irrelevant to a team's success/failure in that week.

I wouldn't take the same issue with it if someone said he should be nominated for Offensive Player of the Week, that would be an award where the things you're talking about should be factored in.  I just feel this is not that type of weekly award where role or team outcome has any factor in it, and it's who had the best statistical output that week.
