    Josh Allen has 5 more TDs and 3 more turnovers. His odds aren’t even close though because his team is broken.

    They have Hurts and Mahomes at 1 and 2? These guys are not having MVP years. Why not look at someone else who’s popping off this year? Feel bad for Kirk. He was looking like the MVP for awhile. My biased pick is Purdy. Has better stats than both these guys. Tua should also be in the convo

    Man that speaks volumes that Jalen Hurts is front runner for MVP, considering his season hasn’t been what I would call MVP caliber. Such a weak year.

    He made one good throw all game and barely had 150 yards. I’m not even convinced he is the best Jalen on his team if you takeout position value. Purdy, CJ stroud, Tua, Lamar, CMC, Hill, TJ watt, miles Garrett, Mahomes, Dak, have all played better than him this year. He had a great Super Bowl and has been winning a lot of tough games with his defense but MVP is crazy. Also the Purdy disrespect is unreal he is having a historical good year and is only a concussion and a 40 yard missed kick away from a better record than the eagles. He leads the NFL in yards per attempt air yards an attempt TD’s per attempt QBR, passing rating completion percentage. Yards and TD’s per drive he is on the field. He is bottom 3 in turnover top 5 in TD’s 6th in yards despite the 9ers being 32 in passing attempts. Only two players all time had a season with more yards an attempt both won MVP as did the the one right below him in the stat.

    Dumbest award in all of sports. None of the QBs deserve it except for maybe Stroud, but there’s at least 4 other players who should have it ahead of him.

    Crazy to think we’re on the final half of the regular season games. Time flies.

    Too bad bc if Kelse doesn’t fumble and MVS catches that ball or even if KC doesn’t have the drops in last night and the lions game Mahomes would have 1 less pick 6 and 3 more TDs

    As a fantasy owner of his, ain’t no way he should be winning the MVP. Been a turnover machine.

    I’ve seen some people argue against Garrett winning by comparing him to Watt’s 2014 season. If its not immediately obvious why this is silly it’s compounded by the fact that no one is going to coming anywhere close to a prime Rodgers 38 TD 5 INT 16 game season. Regardless of who you feel should have won MVP in 2014 we need to stop pretending that a defensive player should have to out do JJ Watt to win MVP, they need to out do the players of THEIR respective season and that is all that is relevant.

    If there’s any season a defensive player deserves it this is the one. Mahomes has had a stinker game with no TDs and generally has struggled to get numbers with a rather weak receiving core. Hurts has been turnover prone and while clutch has also made some extremely costly mistakes even though we’ve miraculously managed to come out with the win anyway consistently somehow. Those are the best two QB options? What about Miles Garrett leading a defense which is carrying a sorry ass offense? Can we just officially make it a QB award at this point?
