Chapter 450 Award Selection
In the 2017 season, in the blink of an eye, there is only one final final battle left——
On February 4th, Super Bowl 52 will be held at Bank of America Stadium in Minnesota, and a glorious and exciting season will come to an end.
However, before the end comes, the season will usher in the final carnival, and all the statistics and selections of the regular season will be released, triggering heated discussions.
In the Super Bowl, only two teams, the National League champion and the American League champion, can step onto the stage, but the 17-week regular season showdown has provided countless highlights, and the shining moments belonging to the players have all been recorded in history.
Regular season MVP——
The most important thing is also the finale.
At the end of the regular season, Levi's competition for regular season MVP was noisy. Ultimately, it was because the overall performance of the quarterback this season was unstable and there was no absolute dominant leader; at the same time, Levi showed dominance on the road. With his strength, he led the Kansas City Chiefs to the American League Championship by breaking a series of historical records.
One plus and one minus, Levi's regular season MVP naturally became the focus of discussion.
However!
In fact, in the long history of the NFL, whether it is after the Super Bowl era or before, since the establishment of the regular season MVP award, no rookie player has ever been crowned, and it is extremely rare to even be included in the discussion.
Until this year.
Levi's incredible, unparalleled performance completely overturned the league's perception and once again focused the bustling attention on the running back.
There is no doubt that this is an epoch-making performance and a moment that will go down in history.
Running backs led by Bell and Peterson have said that they should put aside their prejudices and cannot deprive Levi of his right to compete for the regular season MVP just because he is a rookie. Levi has proven that he is worthy of this honor.
However, they are still a minority.
The voice in the league that always insists that rookies and other players should be judged separately is absolutely dominant. "There is no rule without rules."
This kind of controversy has continued since the end of the regular season, and it was not until the end of the federation finals that the answer was finally revealed.
The NFL's regular season awards are somewhat similar to the NCAA and football's Golden Globe Awards. The relevant awards are voted for by fifty professional sports reporters.
However, all fifty reporters must maintain relatively professional opinions and rich experience; and they cannot be official reporters under the NFL.
Every year, the alliance needs to be re-screened so that the members are different every year to maximize the fairness of the selection.
Thanks to this, the authority of the award has been unanimously recognized both inside and outside the league. It is an honor for any player to become the regular season MVP. It is precisely because of this that Peyton Mann, who has won the title of regular season MVP five times, Ning is always considered one of the best of all time.
This year, the regular season has fallen into chaos, as can be seen from the chaotic situation in the playoffs. Naturally, the MVP selection has also shown a fully open situation, not only quarterbacks, but also running backs, defensive ends, linebackers, etc. They are also emerging one after another and are competitive.
While people argue that Levi shouldn't be considered a contender because of his rookie status, others are quick to argue for the defensive player.
The last time a defensive player in the NFL was selected as the regular season MVP must be traced back to 30 years ago, when New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor (Lawrence Taylor) was selected during the 1986 season.
Since rookies should be taken into consideration, Los Angeles Rams defensive end Aaron Donald, who has had a dominant performance this season, cannot be ignored.
In the past seasons, JJ Watt was only one step away from the regular season MVP, but the league has always focused on offense and ignored defense. Now it is time to rectify the name of the defensive team.
The world is in chaos.
Until the answer was revealed, everyone was stunned.
Regular season MVP: New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
This is the third time in Brady's career that he has been crowned the regular season MVP. In a chaotic and bumpy season, the league's face has still firmly maintained its status; but obviously, the situation has changed.
Just look at the votes and you will know——
Brady, twenty-five votes. Levi, twenty votes.
Gurley, three votes.
Wentz, two votes.
this……
There are so many flaws that I don’t know where to start.
Should we complain about Donald not getting a single vote, or should we complain about Wentz, who was reimbursed due to injury before the season was finished, but got two votes?
Should we be surprised that two running backs, Gurley and Levi, actually exploded with such energy, or should we be surprised that professional reporters have never given up on the obsession that the quarterback is the soul of the football team?
It can be seen from the voting numbers that Levi's record-breaking performance this season has conquered the public and professionals. Not only did he win twenty votes as a rookie, he even came close to pulling Brady away. Dismount.
However, after much hesitation, professional reporters finally retracted their tentative claws from the edge of making history and focused their votes on Brady again. He was only a hair away from the historical moment when the rookie won the regular season MVP title.
What a pity.
Undoubtedly, it can be seen from the voting that Levi has appeared like a comet this season, completely disrupting the league structure unreasonably. This makes people look forward to Levi's performance next season.
Of course, that's not all.
In addition to the regular season MVP, the league has successively announced the voting results for other awards——
Offensive Player of the Year, Levi, running back, Kansas Chiefs.
Defensive Player of the Year, Aaron Donald, defensive end, Los Angeles Rams.
Coach of the Year, Sean McVay, Los Angeles Rams.
It is worth mentioning that Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is only 31 years old. He was born in 1986. When he took office last year, he set a new league record as the youngest head coach in history. The entire league believes that the Rams The front office staff went crazy; however, this season McVay impressed the entire league with his mercury-filled offense. Not only did he lead the Los Angeles Rams into the playoffs, he also finally won the support of fans in Los Angeles.
In the selection of Coach of the Year, McVay defeated Kansas Chiefs head coach Reid to win the award for the first time, which was also an important recognition.
And, of course, Levi.
After missing out on the regular season MVP, Levi still made history with his own attitude. He became the first rookie in history to win the Offensive Player of the Year award as a rookie——
Moreover, he is of Chinese descent.
Needless to say, history has been slowly unfolding in front of everyone.
What's more, there is no dispute.
Originally, when Levi was crowned this award as a rookie Chinese running back, people thought that social networks would cause a series of controversies and conflicts; however, no, almost everyone took this for granted.
in addition.
Rookie of the Year, Levi, running back, Kansas Chiefs.
Offensive Rookie of the Year, Levi, running back, Kansas Chiefs.
Defensive Rookie of the Year, Marshon Lattimore, cornerback, New Orleans Saints.
Comeback Player of the Year, Keenan Allen, wide receiver, Los Angeles Chargers.
The above are the main awards of the year, which are clear at a glance.
Without a doubt, Levi. Levi. Levi. Levi once again became the biggest winner, continuing his strong and enthusiastic attitude throughout the season.
