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.
If it wasn’t a QB award, Garrett has to be the clear front runner right now. Browns defense is basically winning them games in probably the hardest division in the NFL this year.
I would’ve kept CMC in the running had he broken the record and not lost production in their 3 game skid. He is still on pace, with Hill being only 50 yards behind for most production yards and has the most TDs scored.
That all said, Garrett is leading one of the best defenses we’ve seen. The fact they are in the hunt with an offense that hasn’t done them any favors this year is beyond impressive. He has the most sacks right now as well, and with plenty of games to go, 20 sacks this season isn’t unreasonable.
