What do you guys think? Anyone snubbed? Who are your picks?
I feel strongly that Flacco deserves CPoY and it's dumb that Hamlin is going to win it.
I hadn't realized just how strong the ORoY class is. It should be Stroud, but Puka and LaPorta have been so good, too.
Hamlin is definitely going to win it. Agreed on the Offensive rookie class. I don't see how Stroud doesn't get it but Nucua and LaPorta were both unbelievable this year. Do you think Crosby has a shot at DPoY? I think it will go to TJ Watt.
I can't believe Parsons is on that list. He got absolutely torched by the 49ers and Cardinals running straight at him.
I don't think Maxx closed the season out strongly enough. Ironically, that's because other guys finally stepped up and made the defense legitimately elite. It's also because he was probably only at about 60-70% with his knee injury.
I'm expecting Garrett to win it, but wouldn't be surprised by Watt.
I would say TJ, then Garrett then Crosby. Bland got a ton of INTs but that guy is a huge gambler and got burned a ton too. Parsons is a great pass rusher but got torched in the run multiple times this year. Maybe it's just my Cowboys hate but I don't think those guys belong.
Warner had a better year than both of them. If you are going to include a DB why not a LB?
Warner does feel like an omission. Did he miss any time?
It's also weird not seeing Mahomes as a finalist, when he's right back in the AFC Championship as clearly the best player. I'm not saying he got snubbed, but this might look silly in a few years.
No but Greenlaw and Burks both missed multiple games which hurt his overall numbers because he was trying to make up for their absences. I don't think the Lions are going to have as much fun running up the middle and throwing over the middle as they did against the Buccs.
Stroud for OROY I think aswell... If ever there's a QB up for nomination they'll usually get it.
I'd like to see demeco Ryan's or (shudders) Dan Campbell get COTY.
I really think Dan Campbell deserves it. Turning around the Lions shouldn't be underestimated as an accomplishment.
It pains me to say... But yeah... Every time I see the dude, I'm like, yeah, I'd play for him. He seems like a really decent motivational guy.
I am good with Campbell, DeMeco and even Stefanski. I think the browns had 5 different starting QBs this year.
Dak? After the collapse? Daks probably lucky to have retained a starting job.
It's based on regular season only.
Yeah... But it's hard to wash that performance away... Makes you forget how on fire he was during the regular season.
Breece not even nominated for comeback player is bonkers
Good point. Agreed.
Why is Tua nominated? He had a good season but he only missed 4 games the year before. How can you be a comeback player when you play over 75% of the season?
