except its not really that uncommon for QBs to win OPOY. Almost half (20/50 winners since it was created in '72) of the OPOYs have been QBs

But a lot of the times it’s the same QB who wins MVP. If you simply didn’t allow voting for the same guy at both OPOY and MVP I think that’d more or less fix it.

eh you still get seasons like '11 where OPOY is just MVP Runner Up, giving Brees the OPOY cause in any other year his season would be worthy of MVP, he just happened to have it in a historic season by Rodgers

Yeah but that’s pretty rare in general, it’s much more common where the MVP is also awarded OPOY which is stupid.
