Dan Orlovsky Sparks Controversy Over NFL MVP Votes for Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson

Dan Orlovsky faced backlash from his ESPN co-hosts after voting for Josh Allen as NFL MVP while naming Lamar Jackson as the All-Pro quarterback. Orlovsky justified his decision by arguing that Allen brought more value to his team, despite Jackson having a statistically superior season. This led to laughter and criticism from former players Jeff Saturday and Domonique Foxworth, who accused Orlovsky of using semantics to avoid admitting Jackson's better performance. Both co-hosts contended that the MVP should reflect the best player in the league rather than the one who provided the most value to a specific team. The debate highlights the complexities of MVP voting, where both Allen and Jackson had strong cases. Ultimately, Allen won the MVP by a narrow margin, with Orlovsky being one of the voters who switched from Jackson to Allen.
