As much as I don't like it, the way the QB position's importance is artificially inflated on top of its already high importance... it technically makes sense that it's a QB award. I say that not liking the fact.
I mean, as great as Jones has looked, he's lower in the QB-echelon than JT is in the RB-echelon (top). But it's just the nature of the position... JT has been here and been great and things never looked this good. It had to be the QB position that was fixed or nothing else would matter (as we've painfully seen for years).
So the OPOY is the de facto position player award which he's on track for. Nelson is the front-runner for the new Protector Of The Year award.
