Last year's performance rare?

 

No, his entire career so far has been rare.

<p style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">.@HoustonTexans DE @JJWatt is the only player to record 40+ QB hits in a season since 2000 & he did it 3 straight yrs

 



 

This accomplishment speaks for itself.  He's a very special player and very much deserves the accolades of MVP.

 

Is there another player at another position that even comes close to such a feat?

 

There's no rule MVP must be given to an offensive player, particularly QB.  That's hypocritical at best.  Funny how when a team loses, it's whitewashed away and excused as a "team game."  But when a team wins, it's credited solely to the QB more times than not.  Removing bias, we see Watt is truly exceptional.

 

So, yes.

 

Let's be clear about JJ Watt.

 

He's MVP, whether we choose to recognize it or not.
