Diving Into Super Bowl MVP Choices with Craig Carton

During a recent discussion on the Super Bowl MVP selection, it was questioned why the Seattle Seahawks' kicker, who successfully made all five of his field goals, wasn't considered the top choice for MVP. Despite the kicker's flawless performance, Craig Carton argued that the real MVP should have been Kenny Walker, who was pivotal in driving the Seahawks' offense throughout the game.

Carton emphasized that although Sam Darnold played competently without crucial errors and contributed to the team's initial scoring drive, it was Walker's consistent contribution that stood out, making him the undeniable MVP. Acknowledging the kicker's proficiency, Carton placed him as the second choice for MVP due to his contribution, but not as the foremost player.

The contribution of Walker was highlighted, especially when considering how he carried the offense for three quarters and continuously delivered during clutch third downs. Carton also brought up a pivotal moment where a play involving Cooper Cup on the sideline could have been challenged by the opposing team, which might have impacted the game's momentum and field goal opportunities.

The discussion also touched upon other key players, ranking them in the MVP discussion. The Seahawks' punter was praised for his remarkable ability to consistently pin the opposition within their own 20-yard line, making him a significant factor in the game, yet only ranked as the third-choice MVP by Carton. Following him, Byron Murphy was mentioned due to his defensive impact, including two sacks and a pivotal interception, placing him as the fourth preferred MVP choice.

Lastly, Drake May was discussed for his less-than-ideal performance, which included a fumble and two interceptions, suggesting that without these errors, Seattle's game might have ended differently. Carton concluded that while the kicker and punter were instrumental, it was Kenny Walker's exceptional performance that truly merited the MVP title.
