Скачать или смотреть This Might Be the WORST NFL MVP Vote of All Time | James Skrmetta Reacts

The 2025 NFL MVP race ended in chaos and one vote may go down as the most baffling MVP decision in league history.

In this video, James Skrmetta reacts to and breaks down the NFL MVP voting controversy following NFL Honors 2025, where Matthew Stafford narrowly defeated Drake Maye by a single first-place vote. That alone would’ve made this one of the closest MVP finishes in decades — but everything changed when it was revealed that Sam Monson cast a first-place MVP vote for Justin Herbert.

Yes, that Justin Herbert.

Herbert was not an MVP finalist, yet received a first-place vote that directly impacted the final outcome and may have cost Drake Maye the 2025 NFL MVP award. Sam Monson, now with The 33rd Team and formerly of Pro Football Focus, defended his decision by claiming Herbert “embodied value” and overcame the worst offensive line in football.

James breaks down why that explanation makes no sense.

We compare Herbert’s 2025 stats to the actual MVP finalists — Drake Maye, Matthew Stafford, Josh Allen, and Trevor Lawrence — and explain why this vote completely undermines what the MVP award is supposed to represent. From interceptions and efficiency to team success and overall impact, the numbers tell a very different story than Monson’s defense.

This was the closest MVP vote since Peyton Manning and Steve McNair tied in 2003, and it reignites the debate over how MVP voters define “value,” whether non-finalists should receive first-place votes, and if the NFL needs to rethink how MVP voting works.

Was Drake Maye robbed?
Was this the worst MVP vote of all time?
And does one voter really have the power to change NFL history?

Drop your thoughts in the comments and let’s argue it out.
