WTF does race have to do with this?nineiron wrote: ↑Here's Wilson's numbers from last year's super bowl:
He completed 18 of 25 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns. He rushed three times for 26 yards.
these numbers would have landed a super bowl winning QB the MVP award every single time - unless he's black. sorry, i mean non-white.
Malcom Smith deserved it, he was one of the standout players of the game. They could have easily given it to a number of other defensive players, Harvin, or Wilson. Given that the Seattle defense dominated the game, it seemed appropriate that a defensive player should get the award.
This year there wasn't anyone you could point to that had an amazing game. Edelman had a great game, and I thought he deserved to be the MVP, but Brady was pretty good too. Butler made a great play, but that's not enough to say he was the best player on the field. Yes, if he doesn't make the pick they almost certainly lose. And if Edelman doesn't make a key catch, if Brady doesn't make a key throw, if the pats fail to convert a big 3rd down, they almost certainly lose that game.
