On pace for 4900-38-10 on 69% completion percentage, helping to drag a team that started 1-4 back into the playoffs, and without his OPOY WR1.
The MVP race is dogshit this year, with Hurts in the lead with 2400-15-9 and 9 mostly tush push rushing touchdowns.
Would Kirk have won it this year? Probably not. But he would have undeniably been one of the front runners, he was playing that well.
It’s hard to start 1-4 and be in the MVP discussion. I think it would have taken something like us running the table for the rest of the season which was pretty unlikely. We got back to 4-4 with him and he looked pretty good doing it but that’s all we can really say. If we were 6-2 or something and had beaten the chiefs or eagles as well then for sure I think Kirk would have been realistically in the race. Our schedule got really soft after the 49er game so that would have been used against him.
