“A QB shouldn’t win MVP this year”

Love how that’s stated so matter of factly and also so wrong.

Myles Garrett

I mean if stroud keeps playing the way he is then he should win it. Dude turned around a trash team and could potentially lead them to a division win and home playoff game in 1st year.

Tyreek all day

a QB shouldn’t win MVP this year

And yet they will

I disagree. My argument: MVPurdy.

It's going to be a QB but if not we need to see the rest of the season. Does Cleveland win the division? Then maybe Garrett. Do the 49ers go on a roll behind CMC? What about Pittsburgh with Watt. We just don't know.

OP: “which non-QB should win MVP?”

90% of commenters: [just absolutely ignoring the question] “A QB”

FWIW my pick is Tyreek. Or Myles Garrett if he continues dominating and the Browns somehow win the division

This could have been Jefferson’s year if he didn’t get hurt.

I would like to see Myles Garrett win MVP if the Browns make the playoffs

Give it to a lineman, then I'll be impressed.

The thing is, as the award is named right now, a QB should always win it. The real solution is renaming the award to the Most Outstanding Player, in which case it would and should be a race between Myles Garrett and Tyreek Hill

If Daron Bland breaks the NFL pick-6 record (Howell twice and Josh Allen still on the schedule), then he deserves to AT LEAST be in the conversation!

Miles Garrett. Dude just flat out is the most valuable player in football right now. Second place goes to Jason Kelce. Those are the correct answers, but everybody knows that a qb always gets to be prom queen. Makes no damn sense.

CMC pls

CMC, Hill or Myles should win it

Josh Allen

Tyreek by a mile

We still have almost 2 months of regular season to play. The vast majority of opinions today will be invalid come January.

Have you guys heard of Brock Purdy?

I was amazed to see a headline that Hurts had passes Mahomes for #1 in MVP odds. Had no clue either of them were really in the conversation, but I guess there aren’t any other QBs making a great case either.

Nah it's still a QB. And probably between Lamar and Dak right now but anything could happen

Since their is a sub zero percent chance a QB wins. I give it to stroud.

He’s outplaying Mahomes an Hurts who are for whatever reason the top 2 ranked.

Garrett, CMC, Tyreek are only contenders non-QB

As a Steelers fan I wanted it to be TJ, but he hasn’t been making the same number of impact players the past few weeks as he did at the beginning of the year.

Hate to say it but if I had a vote, it would probably be for Myles Garrett.

Honestly if Tyreek passes 2k yards, he deserves it.

Crazy Hill is going to destroy the receiving yard record and he's not even an afterthought at +3000

Myles Garrett

Tyreek

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.

Running back. I’m going Lamar Jackson

Daron Bland.

Tangentially related, but upon grabbing a list of historical MVP winners I found the following:

1982: Mark Moseley (Placekicker - Washington Redskins)

Time to go down a rabbit hole. The idea of a kicker winning the MVP is so foreign to me that I can't imagine this ever happening again, a true 1/1

Myles Garrett

Tyreek Hill.

Honestly a QB absolutely should win it this year. And it should be Stroud. Texans wouldn't have shit for wins if he wasn't under center.

Garrett or Tyreek. The talk of Hurts et all as MVP is silly. I could see an argument for Stroud if he continues tearing it up and esp if the Texans make a deep playoff run.

I don't think CJ Stroud is necessarily going to win as a rookie, but it's hard to overstate how valuable he's been to the Texans. I thought this team was still at least a year away from winning, but he has them doing it immediately. Take him off the Texans and how many wins do they have?

I know you said no QB but QB is always the most valuable position so it's hard to see anyone else making a case. CMC and Hill are great players, but their teams are better without them than the Texans are without Stroud or the Eagles are without Hurts.

Scanning thru all this, there's so many people who define it as best player rather than most valuable to their team. I guess I'm old school, but there are other awards for "best".

For example, Manning and Rodgers both won this several times, but if they'd had an elite D, I don't think they would have deserved it. Instead, look what happened when each was out a year. The entire team collapsed on both sides.

IMO, Miles Garret is a no-brainer. It's the opposite - the D is carrying this team, and it's even more impressive with the massive losses on offense. If he was a Raven, his name wouldn't even be mentioned.

Still 7 weeks left, a QB could go on a tear and easily win

It’s CMC

Trent Williams. We have two players in the MVP conversation, and neither would be without him, they were both pretty meh the games he was hurt/out

Christian McCaffrey

CMC. On one of the best teams and without him they are not as good.

Its probably between CMC, Hill and Garrett if it isn't a QB. Probably Hill.

It's CMC and it shouldn't be close

Christian McCaffrey and it is not even close.

Brees would’ve won MVP with that almost any other season, but Rodgers decided to play god mode that year as well. He had 45 TDs to only 6 INT in 15 games despite sitting out most fourth quarters because they were up by so much.

Daron Bland when he gets his 5th pick-six

Sewell or Saint Brown, yes I'm bias
