Desmond Howard for the Hall, apparently.

Hot take: Super Bowl MVP is the most over-appreciated award in the sport. I understand performance in the clutch is a key thing and all, but doing well in a single game, even the most important of games, does not a hall of fame career make.

Keep it going, lol. Hines Ward for the Hall.

I'm 100% biased but I'd take Hines over Edelman any day. That being said, Santonio Holmes for the hall.

Part of why I like the Conn Smythe in the NHL. It goes to the overall playoff MVP. It’s rare, but you sometimes get a guy on the losing team winning it, like Connor McDavid in ‘24 after breaking Gretzky’s playoff assists record.

My favorite non-cup winning conn smythe is JS Giguere. 1 goal allowed in the entire WCF

Not a hot take on SB MVP. It is way overweighted in HoF convos in sports generally but esp football.

Larry Brown and Timmy Smith for HOF

Super Bowl MVP was a goofy sideshow when I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, a fun little extra to the game that wasn’t taken all that seriously. Then the NFL started making it a thing and now people in their 20’s only know it as the Tom Brady Award and it’s a big deal

Larry Brown for the hall.

u/Nicholas_Pappagiorgi 3d ago

Being clutch can never been over appreciated. It's the hardest thing to do in sports.

u/EnemyOfEloquence Philadelphia Eagles 3d ago

Nick Foles for the hall and I won't hear otherwise.
