Lamar Jackson's 2023 MVP is one of the weakest we have ever witnessed, yet some mainstream pundits like Stephen A Smith want us to believe that he should have been the unanimous MVP.

Lamar was one first place vote away from achieving that mark for the second time, but luckily Josh Allen rightfully got a singular first place vote.

This would have completely undermined what it means to be a unanimous MVP. Why? Because Tom Brady didn't even get a unanimous MVP in 2007 after breaking the passing touchdown record with 50 and going 16-0.

We have become over influenced by the media and intimidated to go against the grain. This leaves great players who serve up all time performances unrecognized.

In my eyes, this should have been a very tight race - I do believe you can make a case that Lamar was in fact the MVP, but by no means was he head and shoulders above his competition.

The fact of the matter is that the team around him in Baltimore was outstanding, the Ravens defense was the best in the league, and this helped Lamar gain a lot of recognition even though this year was not close to what he put on tape in 2019.

Tyreek Hill or Christian McCaffery should have had a chance to hoist the MVP this season, but of course, as the media likes to say, it's a QB award.

I hope that after watching this video, you might change your mind, and understand that when you play on a great TEAM, the figurehead (QB) gets more recognition than they might deserve. If that wasn't the case, then maybe Tyrod Taylor would have won the MVP in 2015.
