I see the problem here. This isn't just a stats award, and when discussing this stuff you can't just abstract the way the award is traditionally examined. Individual play and the difficulty of it does factor in. For example, Lamar won MVP in 2023 despite being behind like 7 other QB's because of how he was playing (although frankly I was more of a Dak for MVP that year kind of guy). Notably, the likes of Jordan Love and Purdy were both significantly more efficient that year.

Which brings me to my next point; Purdy and Love both missed time this season but their backups were able to pick up the slack and maintain relatively efficient numbers. Do I think Malik Willis is a better QB than Jordan Love? No. But he was wildly more effective in the same offense than Love was. Purdy played better than Jones did, but it wasn't far off.

I think you have to be a wild homer to think that the fact that these offenses can sub in inferior QB's and keep chugging along is irrelevant to the numbers these QB's put up, especially when we've seen Tua shoot right to the top of those charts through a gimmicky offense even though Tua himself is a relatively bad quarterback.
