Default Leonard as DPOY

I hate to blatantly lift from another site, but they have an article on Leonard that mentions a stat that stuns me:

https://www.1070thefan.com/blogs/kev...-year-and-more

Quote:
Take a look at Leonard’s numbers through 11 weeks (10 games played for Leonard):

114 tackles, 6 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, 1 interception

Since 1996, no player in the NFL has achieved at least those numbers in a season. No one.

Leonard has done that in just 10 games, with an entire month of games remaining.


So compare the Nelson pick to the Leonard pick. Which is more / less valuable?

Leonard is obviously the more valuable pick. It's a lot harder to find value at 36 than 6.

It's kind of hard to argue against production that no other player has ever achieved.

Yea, agree with you. The cowboys have bigger market.

I called this a month or so ago on here- this dude is rapidly progressing toward the best defensive player in the NFL- he deserves to be considered for the award.

I hope you're wrong - it would be pretty surprising to me if they gave it to Vander Esch. If I'm not mistaken, the award is voted on by football writers, not fans, so maybe it's not a complete popularity contest. I haven't paid a whole lot of attention to Vander Esch, but his stats certainly don't match up with Leonard's. The guy who I keep seeing mentioned as Leonard's main competition is SD's Derwin James.

Vander Esch is playing lights out. But, it would be a severe injustice for him to win droy over Leonard. Mainly because Leonard has made far more impactful plays.

I agree.

Doesn’t mean it will work out like that

Unfortunately some football writers are just as susceptible to popularity BS as anyone else. Leonard deserves it. I have no doubt LVE is good but Leonard’s rookie year has been historically good.

I don't care if he is defensive rookie of the year or defensive player of the year or sets any record

What I do care about is him playing 10+ years with the Colts and being the anchor to a superbowl winning defense

Whether he is better or more important that this or that player on some other team, who gives as a shit

He is an impact, literally game changing player on a defense that sorely needed just that. Good enough for me.

Just stay healthy and keep it up
