MVP is an individual award. Yet it’s treated as a team award.
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has no chance to win MVP and we all know why. His teammates haven’t been good enough to win more games. To hold the Cardinals’ 5-8-1 record against Johnson is strange; it’s not like he’s holding them back. They’d be much worse without him. Yet, that’s the reason.
Some folks used the Houston Texans’ record against J.J. Watt when he was robbed of the 2014 MVP. It made no sense. The only reason the Texans were 9-7 was that Watt had one of the great seasons for a defensive player in NFL history.
