Pundits, former players respond to Lamar Jackson MVP ‘Snub’

Another (more remarkable) former quarterback, Tom Brady, voted for Jackson for MVP. Hall of Fame Tight End Shannon Sharpe and Former Bengal’s Wide Receiver Chad Johnson did not agree with the voting on “Nightcap.”

Here’s a look at what other pundits said about Jackson not winning MVP:

Pro Football Talks Mike Florio: “The same 50 people who voted for the MVP award also voted for the All-Pro team. The votes were only due to two days in the immediate demand of week 18. Quarterback Lamar Jackson is appointed the first team of all-pro quarterback and bill quarterback Josh Allen, who is appointed MVP voters.

Ringer’s Lindsay Jones: “Nine voters split their votes-to choose Jackson for All-Pro and Allen to MVP. One of these voters was me.… Division of my ballot was my way of acknowledging that Jackson was playing quarterback better than anyone this season while Allen was the defining, and yes, most valuablefootball character in the regular season. When I think back on the regular season of 2024, it was Allen whose best acting leads the highlight-his’s passers-by-receiving touchdown against San Francisco in the snow their only meaningful loss of the season and his roll-out deep darts to Keon Coleman in a December shootout Against Detroit. “

Ebony Bird’s Matt Sidney: “The argument is that Allen did more with less than Lamar but how is it quantified? At the end of the day Allen plays with 52 other NFL-Caliber players (the same amount as Lamar). Just say you were getting bored with Jackson to win and wanted a new face.

Baltimore Beatdowns Nikhil Mehta: “Allen was great, but Jackson was historic. And the voter’s fatigue is no excuse. If anyone is tired of giving their vote, I’m sure I know someone who is willing to take on that burden.”
