The NFL should have a Breakout Player of the Year award (alien.top)

There’s been so many incredible storylines this year of players who were on nobody’s radar breaking out and becoming top contributors on their teams. Guys like Puka and Dobbs should have a chance to be recognized, and currently categories like CPOY and the ROY’s aren’t cutting it, with OROY being a QB award, and CPOY often going to top talent. I want something that shows us the guys who put in the work without the media attention, without the reassurance of their spot on the roster, maybe they will never be league MVP, but they damn sure earned a spot at the table and deserve some recognition

I think you're right on the new award but CPOY doesn't always go to "Top talent" it's literally going to a benchwarmer over an MVP candidate this year.

who do you think is leading comeback player of the year so far? baker?

[–] SoKrat3s@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Were you not paying attention. They already changed comeback player to breakout player a year ago, after Geno Smith "came back from being terrible."

Josh Dobbs gets the first one

Rookies have to be exempt from this award or it gets way too knotty

They have an award for guys like Puka... its called rookie of the year...

Purdy leads the NFL in almost all important stats. That’s insane from the last pick of the draft.
