Then Lamar obviously won unanimously regardless and I legitimately don't think I had heard about WAR (in the context of football) since.
It's a hilariously useless stat. It tries to say that LaDanian Tomlinson's MVP season where he rushed for >1800 yards and caught >500 yards with 31 total TDs was worth LESS THAN 1/10th of the WAR of Matt Ryan's MVP season.
I really don't even understand how it works. I'd just read an article ranking the top 5 and bottom 5 in the first round the day before this thread was started.
