AP miscounted the MVP votes

[Buffalo Ballin]

More fuel for our Josh Allen to win his back to back NFL MVP.

Lamont could have had 3 total touchdowns and missed 13 games … and Tony Dungy would STILL have voted for him. 
 

I can’t stand that creepy, bible thumping prick.

I don't think we'll ever see an MVP race be as fascinating as what we had last year.  I could make a great case for each side.  And yes, ***** Tom Brady.  LOL.

 

In a nutshell (IMO), Josh deserved to win it in 2023 and was robbed... so last year was the makeup call.

Josh is still MVP, but by a wider margin.

It’s still interesting that Josh had a better statistical year than Lamar in 2023 but Jackson got it.  Then, Jackson had a better statisticali year in 2024 but Josh got MVP.

The poster above you (and below this) has a believable theory on that juxtaposition.

Also, Allen was working with a lesser supporting cast. The expectation was for significant regression, and instead the offense improved.

You can't win MVP throwing 18 interceptions and single handily lose a game with stupid decisions like Josh did against the Jets in 2023 on McDermott's favorite date.  I would've given the MVP to McCaffrey that year because nobody really stood out amongst QB's.  Lamar was the best QB that year though imo as he did best when the lights were brightest and was the main catalyst of propelling them to the one seed.  Prescott and Purdy I could've make the argument for though based off raw stats.

From the link provided:

 

"Mike Florio at Pro Football Talk was the first to notice and reached out to the Associated Press, who had this to say:

 

“AP removed an invalid ballot that was inadvertently included in its NFL Awards tabulation and adjusted its point totals to reflect 49 voters instead of 50. The correction does not impact the winners or the list of finalists distributed by AP, and the change to the vote total was communicated to AP customers and readers.”

 

So Josh Allen is still the MVP, but what about the missing vote? According to Florio, NBC Sports’ colleague Tony Dungy’s vote was not counted and Diante Lee of The Ringer was counted twice.

 

The Associated Press noted that Dungy had voted for Lamar Jackson for MVP, but Dungy denied that to Florio.

As it turns out, Josh Allen received 28 votes for NFL MVP to Lamar Jackson’s 22."

 

that's about as clear as a foggy day in the Appalachian Mountains in the morning.

To me, it doesn’t matter.  Josh won.  Case closed.  Good for him and a long time coming as he’s the best QB from what I’ve seen in the last 45 years.
