JJ Watt was absolutely robbed in’14. I had never seen a D lineman play like that ever and I vaguely remember LT and Reggie White

this is definitely one of my favorite vids you guys have done.. sadly a lot of great seasons from players that aren't quarterbacks get overlooked because the MVP is basically a QB award

Julio Jones is the first one that comes to mind. He was a monster that 2016 season. Couldn't even get the consolation OPOTY, Ryan scooped it up too.

The NFL needs to have a Cy Young award... just like pitchers in baseball, there should be an award for best QB of the year, separate but almost equivalent to MVP/best position player of the year. The NFL desperately needs to acknowledge that QBs are just a totally different breed/league from any position player. The only fun the MVP has had in the last 20 years has been " _which_ QB will get it?" And if a non QB position player gets MVP, it downright almost feels disingenuous because QBs are the backbone of NFL teams, love it or hate it.

Very interesting video

They should make a separate award for qbs at this point

Ed Reed was unbelievable

When JJ Watt didn’t win it in 2014, I knew this would be a quarterback award until the end of time

I am convinced that to this day, if Priest Holmes won either the 2002 or 2003 MVP, he would be in the Hall of Fame

“Let’s just wipe out Peyton’s Decade, things will go a lot faster”. CLASSIC!!

How are we gonna just skip over the last non QB to win the MVP in 2012? I know the video is about if there was no QB winning MVP, but you gotta pay respects to AP being the last one to win MVP as a non-QB.

MVP shouldn’t just be a QB award

JJ not straight up winning it in 2014 is still fucking criminal nearly a decade later.

Love the video. No mention of Reggie White’s incredible 1987 season, highlighted by his 21 sacks in 12 games???

They should definitely do this as a real award. Its a good indicator of football history on how dominant non QB players are. Especially when you see Marshall Faulk winning it several times, JJ Watt's dominance etc. Plus it'll help on HOF status on several players.

Marshall from 99-01 is crazy and the fact that he was actually close to doing it is even crazier with 3 OPOY and 1 MVP

if JJ Watt doesn't win it, nobody else will. For 14 and 15 seasons the dude was unstoppable.

I literally have been thinking about this over the past few days, haha! It's a very fun thought experiment. It'll be great to see a non-QB win the MVP again someday.

I appreciate your honoring players on both sides of the ball. This sure brought back memories....

absolutely awesome vid! and i just gotta say it… i love the dang voice-man so much. everytime i watch an nfl vid that he narrates i know its gonna be awesome. much love to NFL throwback!

jamaal charles and shady 😭 top tier fr

They should have a separate MVP for Quaterbacks and everyone else. Like the Cy Young in baseball. Then either the Offensive or Defensive Player of the Year will win MVP.

Still waiting for the Marshall Faulk legends highlight

This was honestly really cool! Quarterbacks really do get way more love than any other position and with a list like this I have learned about a lot of great players who played other positions. I mean yes of course I've heard of Barry Sanders and Jerry Rice and of course Emmitt Smith and Lawrence Taylor, but it's really cool to see all these other great players at a variety of other positions get such recognition. Really interesting to see that the gronk is the only tight end on here.

Can’t believe Adrian Peterson was not mentioned other than an honorable mention in 2008..

Lately, I've been saying they should just give out awards to the best at every position.

The Rams with 6 MVPs in 20 years despite sucking 10 of those years would've been crazy

Antonio Brown needs to be on this list. Pick a year. I know what he’s become but it doesn’t take away what he was.

Emmett smith was great, but look at those massive holes he ran through. That o-line (with Larry Allen who could have been on this list) was all time great.

They should make QB MVP it’s own award.

MVP is basically a fancy way of saying "QB of the year" now. Although I will say that Hurts deserves it this year. I think that Kupp should have been 2021 MVP, not Rodgers

Pretend this comment is important and like it.

this is one of my favorite videos from you guys and the mvp award is a QB award

Peyton Manning winning 4 MVP’s in 5 seasons in just insane 🤯

Amazing video Keep em' coming

Great list. NFL should take notice.

JJ Watt’s 2014 season is arguably the greatest season ever by a defensive player. 20.5 sacks, 29 tackles for loss, interceptions, forced fumbles, defensive touchdowns and 3 touchdowns on offense!! Crazy

More like this please!

Good concept, thanks for making. There should be an MVQ since they usually win it, and then an MVP, kinda like how there's OPOY. Qb wins it every year, so might as well just have an award for them and then one for every other position so non QBs have a chance

THIS CHANNEL IS THE BEST!!

just found it weird that a QB just having a good season can overshadow another position having a LEGENDARY season. there needs to be a seperate MVP award

Man this video just makes me wanna go track down all these amazing backs jerseys to own

Now do Heisman Winners if QBs and RBs didn’t exist I know it’s not NFL but it’s something I really wanna see…

I still love that Mark Moseley won mvp as kicker. I don't think that will ever happen again.

I like this idea for a video. Good one

I Love Your Cool 😎 Video 📸 NFL Throwback 🏈🏉 Keep Up The Good Work.

You should do Super Bowl MVP snubs

Really cool video idea

This video kinda needed text somewhere on the screen to show what year is being talked about because it seemed to blend too much between years and it was easy to lose track

Great video…Is it possible to dig up footage from Deacon Jones and see how many sacks he had? That would be something different 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good video concept

Great video!

They didn’t mention the 06 season because Ladanian Tomlinson was the MVP and it wasn’t close that year. As the mentioned 1/15 non QB MVPs, LT surpassed Shaun Alexander’s 05 season marks. Short lived records. LT was HIM

Great video

This vid just makes me mad😭 so many deserved MVP winners

I agree with a lot the comments about giving out separate awards for the QB. Or just hand out an award for each position. QB, DB, D-line, O-line, RB, WR, LB, and Special Team. Total of 8 awards.

Hearing some of these stats lines of the winners vs who should of won just proves my point we just need to give QBs their own award so the true mvp of each season can be picked.

AB should’ve been given a nod for 2014-2016. That was a dominant 3 year stretch. He had such a great 2017 too and was on an MVP pace with his numbers and memorable catches, but he missed the last 3 regular season games that year. He and Went both getting hurt gifted Brady the MVP that year.

JJ Watt playing TE is wild 😂

The three best RBs I've ever watched was Barry, ED and Earl. Should have been more than half a dozen MVPs between them. And thanks for mentioning the best all-around LB ever, Derrick Brooks.

More touchdowns than nasa is the coldest line I’ve ever heard

Look at ol' Shay Sharpe blocking for Jamal Lewis at 11:40.

JJ Watt in 2014 was the most dominant season of all time

NFL should definitely have a "Non-QB MVP award," since so many players deserve it, yet if any QB stands out they automatically win it, which isn't fair to all other positions

Rice should've unanimously won League MVP in 1987!

awesome vid

In todays league its hard to have a bigger impact than the quarterback.

In my opinion, the 70s was the greatest era in NFL history and the RB was one of, if not THE, most important position in the game and oh how I miss those days of hard-hitting, super competitive smashmouth football! The early to mid-90s was a great period as well but since then I think the game has just been much like the NBA, yeah, far too easy to score and put up massive offensive stats as the defenses literally are handcuffed. This makes the stats and players from yesteryear suffer. If you have a solid O-line and a damn good defense and a great running back that is all you really need, so long as you run the ball consistently in the first half regardless of success. By doing this you are using the clock, keeping your defense fresh and bringing the opponents DB's and LB's one step closer to the line and that will set up the play action pass and you can do that with just an average QB and WR corp. If you think that smashmouth is boring, go watch some of the full-length games from 1977 (seem to be quite a few from that season on here and with good copies) and tell me that isn't great football that is as good as it gets.

Emitt barely got touched l, that line was something else

Think back to the fact that LT was the first defensive player to win MVP in 1986, and for the most part, it’s only given to nobody but offensive players, particularly the Quarterback

I wonder if it's a good idea to split mvp between offensive and defensive mvp.

`i think the NFl should make and best duo award

I loved this video

Could you try a most clutch Kicks in NFL history.

I wish they did a QB of the year award at this point. It can be regarded as an MVP trophy for historical purposes, but makes at least one other position matter.

This is so interesting

Jerry Rice makes you think that when he started to set all time records, it was 1995... he still had 8 full seasons left plus 2004

20 Barry Sanders 🐐 28 Marshall Faulk Are My All Time Favorite Football Players Love Those 2 Dudes As a kid and still do @ 43yo So Much Flavor & Smoothness 🏈

Amazing video, imagine someone getting 10 picks in a era where QBs rarely threw the ball

Ray Lewis deserved a mention for 2000 and 2003

I know AB is a nut job nowadays but he definitely deserves to be on this list. He was a monster for Pittsburgh pre loonacy

The media needs to realize we can give qb’s the offensive player of the year award too sometimes i do think other players have deserved it

Bruh I'm about to turn 27 soon. Seems old now that i right it down. But I use to watch nfl network nfl film all day ever day. And hearing so many of these names earl Campbell, Allen page, A lot of others. Forgetting some through the years. Man how could I?! After watching Randy Moss Career I was like ok.. he was better than Jerry... was already decided before I even got put of high school... after remembering Jerry Rice had 21 TDs! In 12 Games!! Man I'm remembering why I wanted to be Jerry Rice growing up.. Wow. . Thank yall

Heisman a qb award too

In all honesty Derrick Henry should of been the MVP rushing for 2000 yards. That doesn’t come around too often. Also did it in a heavy pass first era so that adds to the greatness of that achievement. That season to me you can legitimately say the QBs are favored more than any other position. Not knocking Rodgers but Henry played way better that year

Tom Brady QB of the year, Barry Sanders RB of the year, Jerry Rice WR of the year, Tony Gonzalez TE of the year, Orlando Pace O Lineman of the year, Aaron Donald D Lineman of the year, Lawrence Taylor OLB of the year, Ray Lewis ILB of the year, Deion Sanders CB of the year, Ed Reed FS of the year, Troy Polomalu SS of the year, Adam Vinetarri K of the year awards would fix the QBs always winning MVP issue.

I'm not from the U.S. but I'vee been a football fan since I was a kid and I'm 40+... What strikes me the most is how many unsung heroes plays and played the NFL. The big guys especially seem to receive the worst treatment. To the QB and goal-line breakers the glory, but even über-talented QBs and pass catchers are nothing without the wall of toughness that is the foundation of every play. Even recent examples have shown us how HoF caliber QBs can get overwhelmed without good protection...

I got a few I know before the Video even starts 1987 -- Jerry Rice.. 22 TD in 12 games played. 2010's -- the year that Calvin Johnson nearly got 2000 yards Receiving. 2014 - J.J. Watt -- DE Houston Texans.. lost a close one to Aaron Rodgers. 2022 -- Justin Jefferson -- Wide Receiver Minnesota Vikings

It's amazing how all these feats of greatness get tossed aside because of quarterbacks. There should just be a top quarterback award and an MVP award.

I love this channel

I do think QBs should have their own award. Rename MVP something else. Give other players the spotlight.

So goated

I'm surpirsed Lawrence Taylor wasn't even mentioned at all during the 80's let alone not winning mulitiple of these years.

You guys should do a videos of players who were robbed of a super bowl mvp.

You honestly killed it with this video. Why not do a “QB of the year and MVNQB of the year”

0:46 good. i was worried that they were only gonna talk about kupp but they included tj. Best defender in the league. so so valuable. hell i would say he woulda been mvp and not kupp

Awesome video, love your videos. Also, Micah Parsons, Von Miller, the Bosa Brothers and Trevon Diggs should be up there

I like this video because every year it’s given to a QB. That needs to change

Amazing that we actually had a time when the MVP was not always a QB! It's a QB league now though those days are over

Offensive player OF the year
