Um, how did John Elway win the 1987 MVP over Jerry Rice?

Because in their minds, they probably felt like Montana made Rice. Like they would ever give the MVP to a black WR over a white QB.

Adrian Peterson had a historic season, and there was still a debate as to whether he should've been MVP...
The shyt Rice was doing was unheard of at the time. It was an outrage to Niners fans back then

It's crazy. It took 20 years for that record to be broken and he did it in 12 games.
What it came down too was that no one was in the shape Jerry Rice was in after that strike, breh.

He was just peeling through coverages. Damn shame that after all that work he got outshone by friggen Anthony Carter in that playoff game vs the Vikings. AC was in a zone a few weeks which rivaled Jerry
