It is better to have the NFL’s best offensive player than the best defensive player.
JOHN SCHMEELK: Fact - The NFL’s best offensive player, more likely than not, is going to be a quarterback. It is the position on the field that has the greatest impact and can lift everyone else up around them. If you tell me I can have the best quarterback in the league, I will take that player over the best defensive player in the league and it wouldn’t even be close to a tough decision.
DAN SALOMONE: Fact - Yes, two out the last three Super Bowl MVPs have been defensive players.
