If selected, Rodgers would be the first repeat winner of the award since Peyton Manning did it in 2008 and 2009.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers has his Packers heading into the final week of the season first in the NFC, with a 13-3 record. In Sunday night\u2019s game against the Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay locked up the top seed in the conference, giving Rodgers a bye week and home field throughout the playoffs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>His numbers are ridiculous, throwing for 3,977 yards and 35 touchdowns to just four interceptions. He has a quarterback rating of 111.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s done all of this following an offseason of drama in which it wasn\u2019t clear if he\u2019d even be playing in a Packers uniform this season, before finally showing up to Green Bay\u2019s training camp. He then took time out of his first press conference to air his grievances with the organization. In November, Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19, informing the world that he was unvaccinated. He was hammered in the media for \u201cmisleading\u201d the public regarding his vaccination status, after telling reporters in August that he was \u201cimmunized\u201d against the virus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And yet, as the self-inflicted distractions continued to pile up, Rodgers has continued to win and perform brilliantly on the field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For one MVP voter, that won\u2019t be enough for Rodgers to earn his vote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hub Arkush \u2014 Chicago sportswriter and MVP voter \u2014 will not be voting for Rodgers, not because there is someone that has been more impressive on the field, but because Arkush isn\u2019t a fan of Rodgers off of the field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think you can be the biggest jerk in the league and punish your team, and your organization and your fan base the way he did and be the Most Valuable Player,\u201d Arkush <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0IfD6LIPxpE\">said<\/a> on 670 The Score in Chicago. \u201cHas he been the most valuable on the field? Yeah, you could make that argument, but I don\u2019t think he is clearly that much more valuable than Jonathan Taylor or Cooper Kupp or maybe even Tom Brady. So, from where I sit, the rest of it is why he\u2019s not gonna be my choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arkush was asked if voters were allowed to consider off the field issues \u2014 like a players vaccination status \u2014 when deciding who to vote for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no guidelines,\u201d Arkush said. \u201cWe are told to pick the guy who we think is most valuable to his team. And I don\u2019t think it says anywhere, \u2018strictly on the field,\u2019 although I do think he hurt his team on the field by the way he acted off the field. They\u2019re gonna get the No. 1 seed anyway, but what if the difference had come down to the Chiefs game, where he lied about being vaccinated, ended up not playing and they got beat? I think all these things should be considerations.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe ruined the entire offseason for that football team,\u201d Arkush continued. \u201cThey were left in jeopardy, they had no idea what they were doing. A lot of the off the field stuff was wasted because he wasn\u2019t there. He tortured his fanbase and he\u2019s already started doing it again.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Arkush said that based strictly on Rodgers\u2019 offseason behavior, he wouldn\u2019t be getting his MVP vote, and the issue surrounding his vaccination status was \u201cone more log on the fire.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just think that the way he\u2019s carried himself is inappropriate. And the vaccine thing was just one more log on the fire, so to speak,\u201d Arkush said. \u201cI think he\u2019s a bad guy, and I don\u2019t think a bad guy can be the most valuable guy at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
