Brady named Pro Football Writers MVP

[Oppo]

Coach of the year = team who won more games than the previous year

I feel like the NFL Coach of the Year award has become, NFL Non-Belichick Coach of the Year.

I did mention yesterday in the The Two Bills thread that it was absurd Belichick has won only three and none since 2010. Since then, both Ron Rivera and Bruce Arians have each won twice. And Jason Garrett has even won one.

Jason Garrett. So, yes, it's a pretty lousy award.

Its true in all sports. Coach of the year really means biggest delta between reality and expectations. Has nothing to do with coaching, really.

Season MVP has lost in the Super Bowl the last 8 attempts since Warner won both in 99.

There is the Madden curse too. Couldn’t stop Tom

Brady wasn't finding the NFL to be enough of a challenge on its own, so he decided to take on the Madden, SI cover, and MVP jinxes simultaneously just to make it interesting.

Then the MVP is really due!

The last time the MVP played in the Super Bowl the Patriots won.

And the passing yards leader has never won either.

I say take them all down.

Without looking at specific cases my theory would be that MVP’s are already established guys who take up large chunks of cap space thus creating a top heavy roster. Add in normal injury attrition and you’d have a team with holes that are exploitable by one of the best teams they’d play all season.

They’ve made it to the Superbowl in half the years, so the teams seem to be doing ok. It’s just a fluky stat.
