he word "Valuable" in the middle of MVP complicates things. It means that if you vote, you aren't voting for the best player in the league, necessarily, but the most valuable, which could be interpreted in about 17 million different ways.
What's value? Does that player's team have to be .500 or better? Do they have to be in the playoffs? Do they have to be considered a serious threat to win the Super Bowl?
These are legitimate questions. After all, how much value could you possibly have if your team isn't even playing for the ultimate prize? Can you be good? Sure. But where's your value? Your team can miss the playoffs just as easily without you, bub. All you did was worsen your team's draft pick.
