The way I answer this question is ... without the MVP in the lineup the team takes the biggest fall, or basically keeping the MVP and taking anyone else out of the lineup we still get the farthest
e.g. Without Earl Thomas (everyone else is intact) how far do we get? Without Marshawn Lynch and everyone else intact how far do we get? Without Russell Wilson?
Limited poll answers to the pro-bowl and all-pro caliber players.
This came up in my mind with the ongoing story about Russell's contract. And got me thinking about who's gotten paid, and how that's a sign of respect and how much a team values someone, and that it also has to be relative to the market value of that position (which makes Russell's contract so interesting)
And got me thinking, who is the Seahawks most valuable player?
Interesting discussion in my head and I ended up choosing Russell Wilson as my team MVP. My criteria ended up being the below
* Depth-wise on the team, the biggest drop off to me of 1st string to 2nd string is at the QB position.
* the one person who will touch the ball the most is also the QB.
* the defense, while the all-pros we have are AWESOME, if one were not on the team, his backup + the rest of the defense would be able to compensate more than the the backup QB and the rest of the offense.
* the same is true for Marshawn's backup + the rest of the offense vs Russell's backup + the rest of the offense
My second choice I think would be Bobby Wags MLB or possibly Marshawn Lynch for the way he really holds the team together to a level of nastiness and physicality.
What are your thoughts?
