Rather Odd MVPs

[PiemasterUK]

I have recently started playing again and have noticed that the MVP award seems to be going to some very strange players. Take the following game which, it is well worth noting, was won by Tennessee:

How on earth did a decent (but hardly record-breaking) performance by the losing QB get the MVP award, especially ahead of a 170 yard/2 TD receiving performance on the winning side? Heck, I thought convention was to always give the MVP to the winning side as a matter of course.

This is far from the only strange choice even though I have only played 20 or so games so far. I don't remember the choices being this odd when I used to play, has something changed?

Sure, I do agree that a receiver with 170yd and 2 td deserves it more, but there's nothing odd about a QB throwing for 300yd, 2 td, 0 int to get the MVP honors, especially if he's more popular.

Fan Popularity has an impact on MVP voting then? Interesting.

Fan Popularity has an impact on MVP voting then? Interesting.Well, got to say, no proof of that. It might help.
What's more important here is that FOF loves performing QBs quite a lot.
