12. Russell Wilson and the elusive MVP Award

It’s felonious Wilson does not yet have a Joe F. Carr Trophy on his mantel. Hell, he’s never received a single vote. He’s probably the top real leader in the business and not a single voter has recognized Wilson’s flair.

In 2020, he will have a more mature D.K Metcalf, running back Chris Carson, Tyler Lockett, Greg Olsen, and Will Dissly (we think). This is an assortment of weapons by which Wilson can juice up his numbers.

MVP recognition for Wilson feels inevitable at least once in his career. Maybe 2020 is the year.

11. Aaron Rodgers’ Wisconsin Swan Song?

Green Bay’s front office effectively said “no” to Aaron Rodgers concerning the stockpiling of offensive playmakers. And by “no” they meant they’d go ahead and draft his replacement in quarterback Jordan Love.

Although it’s not probable that Love takes the reins in 2020, the team undoubtedly has a plan for his ascension to stardom. There is no way that plan involves both he and Rodgers on the same team.

The Packers could sit on Love for a few years as they did Rodgers from 2005-07, but the NFL doesn’t really do that anymore. Therefore, this could be Rodgers’ final 16 to 20 games in a Packers uniform.
