I said a few weeks ago that if Jalen Hurts and the Eagles came out of this gauntlet part of their schedule with statement wins against top teams/QBs then he would win the MVP.
So far he’s beaten Tua and the Dolphins, Dakota and the Cowboys, and Mahomes and the Chiefs. He and the Eagles have Allen and the Bills next, then San Fran, then Dallas again before rounding out in Seattle.
I know passing numbers for QBs are down, and Hurts’ are down especially, but if he wins two or even three of those games and the Eagles have the best record in the league, with his total TD count, it’ll be hard to give the award to anyone else. Not to mention he has Giants, Cardinals, Giants at the end of the year to pad the stats if need be.
I know I’m biased, but he is currently the favorite to win MVP despite lower passing numbers than most, and he was runner up last year (and the favorite before he got hurt), despite also not having crazy high passing stats. McCaffrey will win OPOY, but MVP is and honestly should be a QB award.
Honestly I don’t mind no-calls. What I can’t stand are phantom calls. Meaning flags for shit that simply did not happen. Carter got called for a facemask on a running back a few weeks back against the Rams. It looked like he got the mask by the way the guy’s head turned but the replay showed he clearly grabbed his chest.
Which means the ref just saw that it looked like a facemask and just threw the flag. If the ref doesn’t see the foul he shouldn’t throw the flag.
