Zero2Cool;447063If anything, this has seemed to gain sympathy in favor of Aaron Rodgers. At least, based on what I've seen on the Tweeter.


He is getting support. Unfortunately it's with the great unwashed masses not the people who actually are doing the voting.

Wow. This is a bit of a surprise coming from Florio.

FlorioWhile the league shouldn’t be micromanaging the process, it’s fair and appropriate for the league to generally desire that the voting will be handled responsibly and fairly. Too much is riding on these awards, which include MVP, comeback player of the year, offensive and defensive player of the year, offensive and defensive rookie of the year, and coach of the year. The 50 AP voters also determine the All-Pro team.

The process has plenty of flaws. Many of the awards aren’t defined. What does comeback player mean? What does it mean to be “most valuable”?

Also, if the AP is going to use only 50 votes (with one vote only per award, not a first-, second-, and third-place option), the list needs to consist of the 50 people best suited to make the assessments, without regard to business or political realities that necessarily corrupt the process. I’ve seen the list. Not everyone on the list should be on the list.

Starting with the guy who has said the quiet thing out loud, that he won’t be voting for the true MVP out of spite.


The rest of the article is on his website.

wpr;447066Wow. This is a bit of a surprise coming from Florio.



The rest of the article is on his website.

It would be surprising if Florio defended Rodgers actions, of not being a distraction and him not being a "bad guy".

Florio suggesting Rodgers should be the MVP is just stating the obvious, that the best player on the best record team is playing great, and whom can you argue should be MVP over Rodgers? Even Hub sounded like if you're arguing just on field, then Rodgers might be MVP, despite hating the guy, and said others are right behind him.

But this is standard Florio, stating the process must improve, and the people at the top must improve it, which is basically his stance on anything and everything. Always trying to force change and improve.

The biggest surprise to me is Florio saying he's seen the list and some of them don't belong on the list. But he left it at that and didn't go after anyone's qualifications.

So if Rodgers is a jerk off the field and therefore can't be his MVP vote, what about Jalen Ramsey? Since he threw a punch at a teammate on the field, does that mean he deserves the death penalty with his family members proscribed?
