I know it’s extremely rare for a defensive player to be considered, let alone a DB, but with his season so far he deserves it. I’m not a Cowboys fan by any means (usually root against them) but you have to admit greatness when you witness it. He’s the top ranked corner according to PFF just broke an NFL record for pick sixes and has the most INTs in the league. He’s so far above anyone else in his position plus he’s doing things that no one else has done before. Brady was right when he said the NFL offensive skill isn’t the same this year- there’s no one offensively other than Tyreek or AJ that are having rare seasons. Why are we sitting here pretending like we have to chose between this shitpile of offensive candidates when there’s so many defensive players playing at a high level. Obviously he has to finish the season strong but if he can finish with three to four more INTs (11total) it would be insane to me to pass him up, at the very least DPOY. Would love to hear some civil discourse on this.

    No

    If any defensive player gets MVP, it would probably be Myles Garrett since he’s on HoF trajectory. And that would free up DPOY for Bland

      Your logic is flawed. The award is for a yearly performance, not career. You’re argument that Garrett get it because of his HoF trajectory is talking about his career, not just this season. Hell, Garrett isn’t even leading in his main stat: sacks.
