JSN is probably the only winner among those, but it's awesome that none of those four are obvious fillers due to lack of candidates. There's a strong argument for each.

Our only stone-cold award lock is Executive of the Year, but I don't see that in there, so I'm guessing it isn't an AP award.

Looking over the list of finalists, I'm concerned the league might be preparing to screw over JSN.

Does anyone else think it's really weird that Stafford and Maye have been neck and neck for MVP for two months, but between them, only Maye is a finalist for OPOY? Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I'm wondering if this is setting up to give Stafford MVP and Maye OPOY.

Yep, nothing would shock me. They make their choices of who they want, and they don't even try to hide it.

Then again, even if the Hawks win the NFC, Stafford likely still gets the MVP, imo. He can have that consolation prize, while the Hawks are playing for the ULTIMATE prize.

Executive isn’t among the 8 categories I heard about

MVP
Offensive player of the year
Defensive player of the year
Offensive rookie
Defensive rookie
Comeback player
Head coach
Assistant coach

Also, although I agree he’s deserving JSN has a tough list to break free from. These are the nominees

Drake Maye, New England Patriots QB
Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers RB
Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams WR
Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons RB
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks WR

AP doesn't have the Executive of the Year, PFWA does... And John Schneider just won it.

I believe JSN is the most deserving, but I wouldn't consider it a huge travesty if Puka gets it. What would annoy me is if they give it to Maye as a consolation prize because they think Stafford is a better MVP story.

I was actually concerned about the CMC storyline about how many touches he’s had blah blah blah.
