Jameis Winston is bitter

Replaced by Andy Dalton after a back injury, Jameis Winston is operational again, but he has lost his place. Something to cringe Winston, interviewed by ESPN.

“I lost my starting spot due to injury, and the rule has always been that you don’t lose your spot due to injury. But that’s what happened. I would always be less important than the team, even if it breaks my heart. The way things have gone this year, it touches me to the core of my soul, but that’s life. »

In 3 games played, Winston had compiled 858 yards for 4 TDs and 5 interceptions. Andy Dalton, he compiled 1559 yards for 11 TD and 7 interceptions in 7 games.

Changed the voting system to MVP

Since 1957, the Associated Press has selected a jury of 50 people who submit a single name for the MVP vote. The player with the most votes becomes MVP. For example, in 2019, Lamar Jackson (QB, Ravens) had been unanimous MVP with 50 out of 50 votes, while in 2005, Shaun Alexander (RB, Seahawks) had only been elected with 19 votes (ahead of P. Manning (13) and Tom Brady (10)).

Starting this season, the Associated Press announced that each member of the jury will be able to vote for 5 players. The player with the highest average will be elected MVP. This will allow in particular to be able to elect a dolphin and a third.

In addition to the MVP vote, the other awards (offensive player of the year, defensive player, coach etc.) undergo a similar modification, since the jury will be able to vote for 3 players instead of just one today.
