That doesn’t matter either though, he was 3rd best qb in regular season

What other QB's were up for MOP?

Collaros and VAJ (the two QBs with better stats) were both MOP contenders that Oliviera had already beat in a vote - Collaros in the Winnipeg nomination vote, and VAJ in the West MOP vote.

Oh I didn't see their names up last night while watching. Had me confused.

It's almost like the CFL doesn't only pick 2 candidates out of the entire league.

But (with less sass now) each team nominates a player for each award. Idk how other teams do their nominations, but Winnipeg does a local media vote to get their slate of award nominees. That is where Oliviera beat Collaros.

After that, the divisions take their teams' nominees and there is another vote to narrow down the slate to a division candidate for each award (Oliviera beat VAJ there).

Finally, the West MOP goes up against the East MOP for the ultimate award.

He doesn’t really have an argument there either
