The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

I think he'll be playing in the cup limping around just the same as last year.  And Maas will refuse to take him out once again.

I worry for his long term health.  It's too bad really, as he's really good for the league, and we need 6 more QBs like him.  This is the quality of QB the CFL should be aiming to steal away from the NFL.

I am not worried about his long term health, not anymore than any other QB.

He has already admitted his hamstring is likely chronic but he has methods to deal with it. I assume he means stretching and mobility exercises. Hits don't give a pulled hamstring. The cause:  sprinting, jumping, kicking or making a sudden change in direction.

Another question Lapo kind of brought up in the game, he said Philpot is his MOP. Surely it is going to be Alexander? Curious what others here think. On the one hand Philpot is having a season for the ages but Alexander's record is jaw dropping. Granted that extends over a couple years not just this one.

Then teams shouldn't hit him, they should just get him running a lot, maybe followed by an awkward for tackle. 

And the dealing-with-it methods only work until they don't. Like last year...

Has Alexander broken records? Philpot is. Is Alexander even the yards or td leader this year? To me, Philpot gives more wow factor.

But... Because Philpot is Canadian and a lock for best nat, it gives the voters an easy out by splitting the difference and giving him just the moc. That lets them give Alexander MVP and everyone is happy.

I actually hate giving both to one guy, and have suggested since AH33 won both in the gc that MVP should be renamed MVI... With I being import. Yes, I know gc is distinct from the season awards, but my point applies to both.

I just really hope they don't put up Brady against Philpot, as it won't even be close.

Alexander should win. QB's run the engine for the team on offence. Philpot is having an outstanding season regardless of his nationality.

I think it will be Alexander because he's the QB - but I really hate that QBs tend to over-represent these awards. An excellent RB/WR season should win over a mid-QB season, but that's not often how it works.

I would vote for Philpot. Alexander is the best QB, but he's not heads and shoulders above what Harris and Kelly are statistically. Philpot is in his own category in receiving.
