This is why I think we need a split award. MLB has the Cy Young for the best pitcher, and the MVP for every other position. You can win both in the same year as a pitcher, but you have to hit an even higher standard for that. So whether it’s Most Outstanding Quarterback or “winning the Montana Award” or whatever, you get a designated QB award and open up MVP to WRs, RBs, DBs, Dlinemen, hell maybe even an olineman if somebody has that crazy a season. And doing it like that wouldn’t even force you to get rid of OPotY or DPotY either, so why not?
Feel like it would be way easier to just make OPOY a non-QB than create a second award. Given the nature of the sport, QB is always gonna be the most valuable position/player anyways, MVP is already basically a QB-only award. And we already have all-pro for the best at every position
Or just make it so you can’t vote for the same player at both MVP and OPOY. Having two different QBs be MVP and OPOY is pretty rare and I think just making the voters look elsewhere for OPOY would give it to a non-QB much more frequently.
