Says if he had a local vote for MOP, he would have gone Collaros over Brady........

........also says he didn't vote for Brady for West MOC.................................

I hope this is a joke?  

Even Suitor was fawning over Brady on how amazing he was this season.      That is some Rod Pederson / Ballsy level of incompetence.    How in the world do you not select Brady for at least MOC????

I wish the playoffs were included in the voting.  The MODP and MOP were absolute no-shows when it mattered.

Lol. Kelly just called himself a game manager.

Chad Kelly won MOP award. What a joke. Oh well hopefully just a little extra motivation from the guys to bring home the trophy that truly counts on Sunday. 

Did Kelly grab the trophy & run off the stage without an acceptance speech? Glad I necver watched this travesty of an awards show.

I figured out why he always looks crazy, his eyes are set at different levels, he's literally cockeyed.

THAT is a freaking joke. Enjoy your off season, Chad you choke artist. Your teammates still love you. 

I hope Brady and the team use it as yet more motivation.

Hopefully, this fires up the Bombers the same way Hamilton disrespected them in 2019. 

I am actually astounded. I never believed people would actually vote for Kelly as the MOP. It makes zero sense to me.

I don’t think Brady uses “disrespect” as motivation but I SINCERELY hope the Bombers offensive line goes out with something to prove.  
 

More of a “we’ve got your back” type effort.

Brady will have something to prove. 

Well this award for Kelly is going to sell season tickets and they will fill BMO..............narrator voice, they will not.

100%. I've yet to hear an explanation on how his season was outstanding...nevermind MORE outstanding than any other QB. And definitely not more than Brady. There's just zero evidence to back it up.

I think people were allowed to vote only up until playoffs so his horrendous eastern final game isn’t considered

i think if this vote was redone Brady would win by a landslide. 

I really think this is the leagues way to boost torontos sales

Yeah BO got jobbed...Just like Stanley did too...well History often repeats so a 3rd cup in 4 yrs will be the ultimate prize

I find it funny when they did the player trailers...BO was first in rushing...first in TD's for a non Qb....2nd best alltime yards for a Canadian....15th player ever to eclipse 2k total yards....Why didnt they say Chad Kelly...4th in this...3rd in that...3rd in this too.....and make the fact he won seem even more idiotic

Pickett too got robbed....overall defensive player stats were lights out...all yr....not just one skill...he did in spurts

I see tho they threw a couple pity awards at the Riders too....I think BO got robbed of that one as well with all he does outside the stadium.....

Best thing of the night was the CGY quip guys story he told about the dude weighing his junk....good to see him get acknowledged as well as he is a grwat guy and I have never heard a bad word about him

Bullshit. But not surprising. 
 Like Harris being snubbed for moc all star etc then winning mop and moc in the gc. I hope Brady goes the deepest he’s ever gone into beast mode and makes the voters choke on it. 
I hope he puts up numbers that puts the legendary game by Fred Reid to shame.

media goes basically on stats for most part....and a lot of times the wrong ones, and CK ranked 3rd for a QB for the most part

If Brady did the same with bc or Toronto he’d a won in a land slide and be the face of the league.

These trophies tonight, they shimmer in the moonlight, catching our attention like fireflies in the summer sky. But let me tell you, my fellow football fans, the one that truly dances in the starlight, the pièce de résistance, is the one to be awarded on Sunday evening. It's the grand finale, the crescendo in the symphony of competition. So, savor the glint of the trinkets we won tonight, but brace yourself for the celestial spectacle that awaits us come Sunday!

Based on what I’ve seen, I wouldn’t put vaj or Kelly above brown. I’d actually put vaj below brown because he has such a proclivity to collapse and lose a game single handedly.

MBT in 2022 - 67% completion 23 TDs 15 INT  4731 yards

Kelly in 2023-  69% 23 TDs 12 INT 4123 yards 

MBT was getting called a bad QB
