The last defensive player to win MVP literally changed how the game was played. As good as Myles is, it’s just not how things work in today’s NFL.

We all know this won’t happen…before they even think of giving it to a defensive player…they will see if they can get a WR ( Hill) or an RB (CMC) the award.

In most cases,the QB with the better stats between the 1 seeded teams in either conference will take the award…with a caveat for this particular season.

Right now it would be Hurts vs Lamar for MVP…so Lamar would likely be favourite in this scenario with the narrative advantage of having a worse roster on paper.

If KC gets the one seed with their WR troubles…even with a good defense…Mahomes will have the “He has no WRs but is the 1 seed anyway” narrative to play with.

If we (SF) somehow get the 1 seed…then the AFC QB 1 seed will get the award by default coz Purdy will NEVER be taken seriously for MVP consideration because of multiple BS reasons…CMC is a RB so that would be used against him too in this H2H.

The actual MVP picture this season from a performance standpoint should include Garrett, TJ Watt, CMC, CJ Stroud, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy. I excluded Tua and Dak for lack of big game performances of the others…Hurts has not played like a top 5 QB by any real stat or even the eye test.

He would have to break the season record sacks, and take the team deep in the playoffs to even be considered. Couple more fumble for touchdowns, pick 6, and a safety or two… who knows what happens. Just keep winning.

Jesus Christ 🙄🙄🤦🤦🤦🤦

If the browns somehow win the AFC North (they’re only a 1/2 game back) then yeah I 100% agree.

Ya pretty much unless Tua/Mahomes/Hurts really step it up in this last month.

Anyone but hurts and Mahomes please, neither of them deserve it

I’m sorry but if JJ Watt couldn’t win it 2014, no defensive player ever will.

Garret for MVP, Bland for DPOY

Agree and I’m a Bengals fan.

Also either start giving MVPs to different positions or come up with an Outstanding QB award.
