MVP thread

[sb1]

If the voters believe the award is Most valuable player it will be Maye winning it and he should. If they think it’s something else it will go to Stafford.

Wow. His rating is right there with Mahomes and Lamar from their sensational 2nd seasons.

 

[NFL Mystique]

I can't help but feel some anger towards McDaniels. I understand it's a team thing blah blah. But still...

I can absolutely see a lifetime achievement bias giving it to Stafford BUT to me, Maye is clear cut MVP.

The award is what the voters wants it to be.

Depends on who they want to win

Stafford now the odds on favorite to win MVP per fanduel and draft kings.

Maye should be MVP but they’re literally just giving it to the vet who has more TDs. Maye is better in pretty much everything else.

100%

It will be an outlandish, historical swerve to not have Maye win it when every other season comparable to it ended with an MVP award.

Terry Bradshaw said it earlier. Maye hasnt had a bad game.

Not every.

Brady finishd 3rd with a comparable season in 2012.

The Patriots had an offensive explosion, one of the top 5 offenses in NFL history. They scored 26 rushing TDs despite not having one of the leagues top backs or a top running game.

4 of those rushing TDs were by Brady.

How in the world did Aaron Rodgers finish ahead of Brady in the MVP voting?

Rodgers: 4295 yds, 39 tds, 8 INTs, 71 QBR, Packers had 7 rushing TDs all year
Brady: 4827 yds, 34 tds, 8 INTs, 78 QBR, Patriots had 26 rushing TDs, 4 by Brady

Yet Brady finished behind Rodgers in the MVP voting

I was thinking more along the lines of the 2nd year guys. Marino, Mahomes, Lamar, etc.

Brady finished 1st or 2nd nine times.....!! Dont know how many top 5 finishes he has.

Brady has def lost some close ones.

Stafford is the favorite, but it’s like 55/45 or less. First MVP race I remember where the sportsbooks didn’t have it wrapped up after the last game. Stafford more likely to win especially since it appears McVay is willing to blow voters.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

But I think it’s funny hearing all about Stafford’s extremely difficult schedule and then down the stretch Stafford lights up absolute garbage teams while losing two games and now the opponent doesn’t seem to matter.

And if you dive deep into those "tougher schedule" claims (as I and others did in this thread), Stafford played against slightly tougher overall D (based on total yardage), and Maye played against slightly tougher passing Ds. So really if you take any time to analyze it, it's a wash.

Stafford now the odds on favorite to win MVP per fanduel and draft kings.

It's wild because before today Maye was the favourite, and then today Maye outperformed Stafford in rating, and was so far ahead he sat the 4th quarter, while Stat Padford was struggling to put away Maye's former backup

In what world could Stafford have overtaken Maye? - in a world where smoothbrain NFL talking heads only look at one metric - passing TD's.
