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.

I disagree with the headline.

The QB is THE most important position in sports for a reason. The Bengals are done because Burrow is hurt...he wasn't having a great season due to a slow start but that kind of thing highlights how critical the position is. The Ravens have crumbled without Lamar when he got hurt the last 2 seasons and missed some games.

My own team's SB chances last season were ultimately ended in PHI as soon as Purdy's elbow was destroyed.

The moment a team's starting QB gets hurt..their season is finished unless for some weird reason you get a really really good backup...and even that lowers expectations.

I also disagree with the "No QB deserves MVP this year" narrative..

Lamar, Stroud and Purdy have played at an objectively high level and one of them deserves the award depending on what you prefer:

1.Lamar- affects defenses in ways others QBs cannot...

  1. Stroud- has probably elevated his team the most

  2. Purdy- by far the best per throw stats of any QB this season on par with some previous MVP seasons.

MVP is supposed to be the player a team has no shot to win without...and that is always gonna be the QB

I wouldn't assume the Bengals are done with the year.
