Awards the Bengals don't care about

I get a bit irritated when he is overlooked so much despite being a collegiate national champion and the number one overall draft pick.

Frankly though, he is fueled by it. Let them continue to disrespect him.

Because neither of those two mean a single damn thing in the NFL.

Patrick Mahomes wasn't even bowl eligible his final year in college at 5-7.
Russell Wilson had 3 losses his final year, lost the Rose Bowl to Oregon, and went in the 3rd round.
Aaron Rodgers lost the Holiday Bowl to Texas Tech and went 24th overall.
Tom Brady 6th round yada-yada.
Drew Brees was 8-4 his final year in college, lost in the Rose Bowl, and went in the 2nd round.

After yesterday Burrow probably is in the MVP consideration, but before that he was under a 2:1 TD:INT ratio, which isn't great for MVP looks. He probably won't win it because Aaron Rodgers is still tearing it up and has more TD with 10 less INT than Burrow, Brady is having a really good season even at the age of 44 leading in both yards and TDs, and Stafford had to be looking pretty good for MVP chances before throwing 3 INT yesterday. Rodgers probably won't have 40+ TDs, but he'll finish with probably 4-6 INTs, and Brady and Stafford will both likely have 40+ TDs, more yards, and less INT than Burrow. Those are big numbers voters will look at.
