Sorry, I just don't like double standards. I know it's easy to overlook when it goes in your favor for a change, but just like it's annoying when undeserving players make the pro bowl over deserving Jags it also annoys me when an undeserving Jag wins because most fans are stupid. I remember the threads complaining that MJD didn't win fedex ground player of the week when he deserved because insert player on more popular team won when they shouldn't have.

Simmons was by a gigantic margin the best rookie this week.

I don't think he's undeserving at all.  He's playing QB, he accounted for 300 yards of offense, with a TD, didn't turn the ball over, and we won.  As for the other candidates, I vaguely recall a couple of them had a sack, one of them rushed for over 100 yards...  The other four candidates were not that impressive really.

Think of the best game Josh Allen has had this season. Simmons just equaled that, less than a year off ACL surgery. Freakshow. Minshew was average at best against maybe the worst defense in the league with both of its starting cornerbacks out.
