"When did you know you were the defensive player of the year all those years you were DPOY"

JJ: "I mean, when I finished the season cause I was the best"

great answer from WAHHHDTT

[yharnamsunrise]

Everyone reading this comment only had one less sack in 7 weeks than the "DPOTY"

[jaybird]

If Im TJ, I am never going to one of these award banquets ever again. Id have JJ accept the award on my behalf....trash the committee...then walk off stage with the award still sitting on the podium.

[otw]

Watt just exposed that players know they’re winning before it’s decided and now I know why certain players don’t even show up

[nickoftime]

No one ever accused Parsons of being intelligent…

[danielshirley]

TJ deserved the award
Myles was who the media wanted
We now know which of those is more important

[juliansmith]

Garret had 1 sack the last 8 weeks of the season and he’s the best? HOW?!

[RedMo]

What the hell does TJ need to do to win DPOY?! Honestly…

His impact is clear, his stats are top of the top and teams game plan specifically to stop him. Im no Steelers fan but my god TJ has earned it at least twice already

[DetroitTyler]

Guys like TJ not winning DPOY when he's clearly the best defender straight up hurts the shield. When you misaward players it hurts the integrity of the game because it messes up the legacy's of players. When the paint dries and they start comparing players, and HOF credentials and everything else it's a massive blunder and it makes it look like the league doesn't know what it's doing. It's like when Kobe Bryant post Shaq had a terrible roster, averages something like 36.6 wins the scoring title and literally carries his Lakers to the playoffs and Steve Nash gets MVP with pedestrian numbers because his team won the most games. There's not a player in the league at that time that you could have swapped Kobe with who'd have gotten that team into the playoffs. So when they get it wrong badly, it's a blackmark on the league and the guys handing out accolades.

[Man]

Winning DPOY on pass rush win rate alone is kinda silly. It’s such a subjective idea. You could win your pass rush in someone’s view and still not affect the play. Yet, I’ve seen TJ lose a pass rush and still get an interception at the line of scrimmage. Just ask Joe Burrow.

[ScarfaceKingOfKings]

I wanted Myles Garrett to win the DPOY at some point in his career. Having said that, his game always seems to curtail the second half of the season. Did he face a crazy amount of double teams? Yes, but he should have produced more. TJ deserved it simply due to the fact that he's the best pass rusher in the NFL. Period.

[phasedoz]

All I'm saying is if you can get gameplanned out for 8 straight weeks then you shouldn't be dpoy😂

[zwink]

How many years are madden and the NFL going to lie to us and say Myles is a better edge rusher than TJ watt when the stats are the stats? Just curious.

[sportislife]

I frigging LOVE jj watt- he's so authentic- loves his brother; respects the players brotherhood

Is fugged off at the league 😂😂😂😂😂

[DCL]

I’m a Cowboys fan and I can admit he got robbed of it. The way they vote on these awards is awful.

[akray]

Bro that's the most pissed off JJ Watt i have seen in YEARS

[Crazyfootballguy]

Spot on: " What's he supposed to do next year? what? 50 sacks? "
exactly. You're the best player in the league on every stat line, and didn't even play every game, and you don't have that award as a slam dunk. ridiculous.

[wafflewafflegod]

He kinda looks like that guy who played for the Texans

[c.j.morrison]

Everybody talking about double teams….Chris Jones faced them 73% of the time and got 10 sacks. By that stat he was way more deserving than MG

[jacobwilson]

Myles Garrett won DPOY because the voters got together and said “Well he hasn’t won one yet and we can’t give it to TJ every year” This year and 2020 TJ had better stats than Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett but got snubbed. He’s going to have to pull out at 25 sack season to win again
