Wentz for MVP … Who Cares?

Carson Wentz deserves to be considered for the 2017 NFL season MVP award. Since tearing his ACL, the young quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles has been forgotten. The media outlets have not given him the respect that he deserves while discussing this season’s MVP.

There is no clear winner for who should be awarded the MVP this year. I could see giving Brady a career award for playing in league for as long as he has. The 18 year veteran would be given the award by default. Or maybe Todd Gurley because his 13 touchdowns and 4.7 yards per attempt actually made Jared Goff look like a competent player. 

Wentz is not considered an elite player yet, but he is a franchise quarterback. Number 11 of the Eagles was named Fox Sports MVP. However, the Associated Press MVP that will be named the day before the Super Bowl is the one that people care about. Both of these awards have no merit behind because they are voted and decided by a select group sportswriters. The award is essentially a popularity contest. Talent should not be judged by a trophy, but by the impact the player has on the league. 

The injured quarterback for the Philadelphia missed the last three games of the season. Even after missing these games, Wentz has the second most touchdowns in the NFL. Without Carson under center, the Eagles are a pathetic team rallying behind the hope that he gave the team.

If the former North Dakota State quarterback wins the MVP award, it would just literally add insult to injury. Winning the Super Bowl is all that matters. Whether Wentz wins the MVP or a different player, who cares? It is a meaningless accolade.

Flashback Friday Interview!

On May 2nd 2014 we had the privilege to interview former Philadelphia Eagles CB Bobby Taylor. Mr. Taylor provided us with an interesting perspective from his time with the Eagles. He provided input on what it was like to play not only in the NFL, but in the toughest sports city. Bobby Taylor is still considered one of the toughest and most consistent Corners ever to play for the Birds. Hopefully, our future Eagles will play as tough as him!
