The other unanimous MVP was Brady in 2010

The only two unanimous MVP�s in NFL history both helmed a 14-2 team that looked like a juggernaut heading into the playoffs only to get popped at home in the Divisional Round by a heavy underdog Wild Card team built on defense and power running. Makes you think.

Thomas is only the 2nd non QB/RB to win OPOY, after Rice, for an award that's been around since 1972.

Which is really dumb.

I agree with this and to me the MVP should always be excluded from winning other POTY awards

It's was really close though, Thomas beat Jackson by two votes only

Hasn't it traditionally been used as a consolation prize for not winning the MVP? If I'm right on that it makes sense since the MVP has been almost exclusively QB or RB other than LT, Alan Page and a couple of kickers.

~~Well a kicker/OT in the first year~~ it was awarded because the old NFL was weird.

e: oops Lou Groza never won AP MVP, I was looking at a different list.

Sometimes the same person as MVP wins it, which is dumb, and sometimes they give it to the 2nd best QB which is also dumb.

MVP should be the QB award, OPOTY should be for the best skill guy.

Then make an award for best OL guy.

Also rename every award after players.

I always wondered what they had in mind for that award. Like it's typically been for runningbacks in kind of an inverse relation to MVP, typically been about statistical achievement while ignoring making the playoffs, but is hardly some best player at this position award. It's not really the backup MVP award because it's like 50% for the same guy winning it. And it's a really poor understanding of football over the past 20 years if you're ignoring WR/TE/OL at the expense of RBs every year, or even pretending that RB is close to QB. So we get poo poo like DeMarco Murray with a major piece of hardware when he was like the 7th best guy on his own offense

Is it just me or is basically no one in the media or really in the general NFL world giving the 49ers much of a chance? I know the Vegas line is almost a pick-em but if feels like everyone is just getting ready for the inevitable coronation of Pat Mahomes.

I know someone else hit this already, but either FS1 or ESPN is on all day at work, and I listen to a couple of NFL oriented podcasts. I would agree with the other poster that it�s 50/50 among all the pundits I�ve listened to.

Which is how it should be, imo. Game is a complete toss up in my mind and I think it will own.

Go Chiefs, though.
