Van Pelt the reason?
Andy has been doing that for several years now. I first noticed it during Hue's tenure. He's burned a few teams multiple times with it.
That said, he's also gotten a couple false starts out of Bobby Hart, although I think that was just a newbie thing.

Well the fact that Andy is winning this vote in a landslide is pretty telling, considering how divided people are on him.
Not sure what you mean by bringing up LaFell. A lot has changed since LaFell was our #2. Not just Boyd, although he's obviously helped.

Agreed. I mean no disrespect towards Green, Boyd or Mixon, but it seems pretty obvious. Base stats seem to be deceptive this year, seeing how highly PFF has him ranked. Guess a lot of QB's are compiling junk stats. Even the dreaded QBR (for those who care) has him ranked 14th, ahead of Watson, Stafford, Wilson and Rodgers.

The numbers are pretty good, but what I feel is being overlooked is how having a legitimate run threat back there opens up the playaction. It's hard to get LBs and DBs to bite on the play fake when you avg 2.9 YPC. I would have voted for him myself, but 4 game winning drives is 4 game winning drives. Andy has looked like he doesn't even realize it's under a minute in the 4th qtr. out there. He's been absolutely clutch, and so has AJ and Boyd.
I LOVE what Boyd is bringing to the offense, he's definitely the breakout star.....although Mixon could have a bit of a claim to that as well. AJ does AJ things. If the offense was solely going through him, I'd probably be looking more at him for this award. That said, it's not. Even Franks got in on the action Sunday. The QB is spreading the ball around, has great command of the offense, has really only been baited into an INT once, and that was at KC when he missed the guy underneath and got picked. A lot of the INTs are tipped balls, a couple of bad placed throws.....but really not any boneheaded ones besides the one in KC.
On pace for over 1100 rush yards despite missing 2 games. Averaging a stellar 4.8 YPC and on pace for 12 total TDs.
If he hadn't missed 2 games, he'd be up there with Andy for me.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
