This is whats funny, our defense is the cornerstone of this team, Russell augments this with smart play and our running game. We stumbled last year a bit on defense and O line yet Wilson takes the hit.
Cam gets a stellar defense and is all world till it is countered by us in the second half and that picked up on by Denver in the Super Bowl, unlike Wilson Cam pouts, quits and throws a tantrum, yet he is MVP.
Which is exactly why he should be, the Mighty Vag Player. when stuff gets hard he dries up and won't let anyone in.
Our defense, statistically speaking, was better than Carolina's in 2015.
We led the league in points defense, rushing defense, and were 138 yards behind Denver's league leading total defense. Carolina's defense ranked 6th overall. So you can't hardly say that Cam got "stellar" defense and Russell didn't.
I don't have a problem with Cam getting the MVP that is based on his regular season performance. He had a solid season and played for a team that threatened to match the Dolphin's perfect season, so I can understand the rationale. But I'll stop short of saying that he deserved it, rather they should have taken it away based on his SB flop.
