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.
