A QB shouldn’t win MVP this year. Who’s your pick for non-QB MVP? (alien.top)

Most people seem to be giving their ranks on MVP voting citing only QBs. It’s hard to imagine that just a title over 10 years ago Brees’ 46 TDs wasn’t enough to win MVP.

I’m curious as to who the real MVP candidates are. QB production is down so I’m really gearing towards awarding it to a defensive player like Myles Garrett. I know some people have also cited CMC and Hill.

Why should a QB not win MVP this year? The quarterback position is head and shoulders clearly the most important position for every team in today's game. So unless the top QB contenders all fall off a cliff between now and the end of December, picking anyone other than a QB does seem to me to be either likely or appropriate.

The last time a non-QB won the award was in 2012 (Adrian Peterson). The last time and Non-QB/Non-RB won the award was 1986 (Lawrence Taylor).

So if you are going to gun to my head tell me I have to pick an non-QB, it would have to be McCaffrey. But the truth is that, unless the 49ers finish with the best record in the league, it is almost certain that a QB will be winning MVP again this year.
