What's your midseason awards list looking like?

ive been critical of dude for years but Ryan might be the MVP so far. Julio right there

DPOY might be Sherm, yea Seattle is giving up a little more as a team but hes been spectacular

OROY=Dak
DROY=Bosa? not alot of standouts. Karl Joseph could have a big 2nd half, can blitz and could nab a few picks

COTY is :beli:

Leonard Floyd looks poised to make the push for DROY. Hes been excellent past couple games

saw him make some plays in the GB game, looks like a good pick. Hargraves has been solid, but his unit as a whole sucks so he prolly wont get much attention
He was seeing double teams in the 4th against the Vikings :to:

Interesting . List is nearly completely different to mine:

MVP - Brady (even with the missed games, I just can't not give him the nod here)
OPOY - D.Johnson/Ryan
DPOY - Donald
OROY - Elliott/Dak
DROY - Bosa
COTY - Zimmer, followed closely by Del Rio/Garrett

I don't understand Brady as MVP. They were 3-1 without him. Forget the missed games, if your team is doing well without you I find it hard to argue that you're truly the "most valuable" player.

If you've been watching his play you'd see why. :manny:

Play doesn't matter, how can your team win 75% of their games(probably would have been 100% if Jimmy never got hurt) the MVP. That's just shoehorning QBs to be MVPs and it's dumb.

I think Julio deserves it more than Ryan too. He's the most valuable player to that offense, more than Ryan, so he deserves it. MVP in the NFL is dumb as shyt right now.

He's whopped every team he's faced and every team he's faced, apart of the Steelers, are currently stuck with a losing record and the Steelers used Landry in the game.

I should've stopped reading here.

i) First of all, I'm not the type of person who "shoehorns' any particular position into being the standard in which MVPs are valued by. Don't accuse me of doing such if you don't know my reasoning.
ii) While yes they did go 3-1 without him, they never really looked in complete control (apart from the Texans' game) during any of those matchups and the offense never really was at the forefront during that stretch without him. Never mind the fact that Arizona missed a makeable FG that would've had them winning in the season opener. That all changed when Brady returned.
iii) Their team record prior to his return only is part of the MVP equation - it doesn't fall completely on that - certainly not when you see the level Brady's been playing at.
iv) I don't think it's clear cut who the MVP is at this stage, I just simply give the nod to Brady because in the games he's played in, he's been BY FAR the most dominant player in football (honorable mention goes to Donald); arguably looked better than he ever has and is pretty much re-writing the record books for just about every single QB-stat imaginable.
v) I don't have an issue with somebody suggesting Ryan deserves it or any other player that's worthy to be in the conversation.
I think Julio deserves it more than Ryan too. He's the most valuable player to that offense, more than Ryan, so he deserves it. MVP in the NFL is dumb as shyt right now..
And that would be reasonable. Like I said, I don't have an issue with that.
