Why did John Elway win the MVP over Jerry Rice?

[Street Knowledge]

In 1987

Rice broke the TD record in 12 games(22 TDS)

John wasnt even the best Quarterback that season

Was that the Doug Williams year?

Same reason he now gets most of the credit for terrell davis winning him two super bowls

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Because he was the Most Valuable Player that year according to the people who voted

Looking back at awards voting in any sport is hilarious.

We know and understand so much more about these sports now that we did even 20 years ago, it's remarkable.

Narrative still drives a lot of shyt today, but nothing like it did then.
