The bullshit issue is that when you have all these QBs lightining it up all the time, the relative value of one over the other is not all that great. It's why no one picks a QB in the first few picks of fantasy (if they know what they are doing or aren't in some 2 QB league), because although you know rogers and manning are going to put up a shitton of points for you, the amount of production point wise is not relatively all that better than Stafford or something.
Obviously in real life its a bit different, but the same concept holds. The difference between Aaron Rogers (who is gonna win MVP) and the next best player at his position is not amazingly great. The difference from JJ Watt and the next best player at his position (and, probably any defensive position) is gigantic - there is simply no one close. It's like the WAR (wins above replacement) state in baseball, which unfortunately is not calculable in foobtall since there are so few games and less valuable metrics.
He won't win, because it's a beauty pagent rather than an actual MVP voting - but his story is good enough that he will be coming in second ahead the other QBs with voting too.
