2021 NFL MVP dark horses: Don't sleep on Justin Herbert, Carson Wentz, Jameis Winston
 

Another outside-the-box candidate, no doubt about that. I considered Alvin Kamara, but it is just so tough for running backs to win this award. And I still have Sean Payton's comments ringing in my ear from earlier this year, when he told me on SiriusXM Radio that Winston can be a star in his offense. I believe that to be true. Payton is that special. And hey, Winston was a No. 1 overall pick, with the raw arm talent never in question. The QB learned the offense last year. This year, it's time to take off. I think Jameis can live up to his potential in New Orleans.

I don't want to hear the name Taysom Hill. I expect Winston to win the job, throw a ton of touchdown passes, substantially cut down on the picks and be an upgrade in the passing attack from the 2020 version of Drew Brees.

i’m gonna repeat myself I know. But Payton Manning had a 28 int season with 26 TDs. Favre had a 29 season with only 20 TDs. Tarkenton and Stabler both had more Ints in a season than Winston did in fewer games as seasons were shorter. I can’t for the life of me figure out why people want to write him off for a 34 TD/30 Int season; especially considering he has NEVER had a season with more Ints than TDs.

Honestly, I'd be happy with serviceable while leaning heavy on the running game and the D.

I’d take that too.

We shall see.

AK, Latavius and newly signed FB Armah … running the football is always a good option.

Drew never won it, Jameis ain’t winning it.

I know you have repeated that many times. It makes perfect sense.

Haters gonna hate. That's just the way it is. I am growing extremely excited about the possibilities now that I am coming down off the Brees high.

If anyone out there still tries to claim anti-Winston bias based upon ONE season of 33 TD's and 30 picks then I'm sorry. You are full of sh!t. Look at Boston's numbers. THINK! Move beyond whatever you have against him (Winston) and realize we may be in a great position right now.

The irony is that Winston may win it when Brees never did.

I’d settle for Comeback Player of the Year!
