If Russell Wilson isn't the MVP this year...

It's been three weeks.

This.

What the heck? What if russ struggles? Its so early. Just like SB favorites. Its fun to talk about but not to get upset about.

So, Russ will lead the way until the last 6-7 weeks when the media will get tired of the same story, hype another player, and Russ will end up with 2-3 votes so the NoVotes story dies.

Yes, they will be hyping the player that's leading their team to the #1 seed and SB birth.

If Russ is that player, then they will continue to hype him. If the Hawks have a rough November and December and fall back to the Wild Card race? Then that player will not be Russ, no matter how well he plays.

2010 MVP: Tom Brady (Patriot's were 14-2 and #1 seed)
2011 MVP: Aaron Rodgers (Packers were 15-1 and #1 seed)
2012 MVP: Adrian Pederson (almost broke all time rushing with 2,097 yards)
2013 MVP: Peyton Manning (Broncos were 13-3 and #1 seed)
2014 MVP: Aaron Rodgers (Packers were 12-4 and #2 seed)
2015 MVP: Cam Newton (Panthers were 15-1 and #1 seed)
2016 MVP: Matt Ryan (11-5 #2 seed)
2017 MVP: Tom Brady (13-3 #1 seed)
2018 MVP: Patrick Mahomes (12-4 #1 seed)
2019 MVP: Lamar Jackson (14-2 #1 seed)

See a trend? It's just as much about how the team finishes as it is about Russell, because there's always 2-3 other guys having career years, and if those guy's teams finish better, win their divisions and get the #1 or #2 seeds? Then no MVP for Russ.

Man I'd love to see Russ get a regular season and Superb Owl MVP in the same season.

How many decades has it been since that happened?

Warner in 99 was the last one to do it.

The past few years RW was in the convo he had like 2 clunker games that firmly took him OUT of the convo. So it depends if he can avoid that this year. But he’s getting talked about as MVP even by non hawk fans this year so it’s definitely a better shot provided he can keep it up
