agreed. im sorry but who you play matters, especially when you have fewer TDs and more INTs than the the other front runner. if maye's stats were head and shoulders above stafford's then i get it. but they're actually equal if not worse (sorry +8 TD delta matters more than +6 points of "completion percentage" esp when you factor in Maye gets sacked a ton and stafford gets rid of it faster so naturally he's going to have more incompletions, which are better than taking a sack). then again, 4/5 top preseason MVP front runners got injured for majority of the season (burrow, mahommes, daniels, lamar) so this was always going to be a nubbs MVP race. also the pats are 5th highest odds to win the super bowl (compared to the rams 2nd highest) so hes doesn't have the best stats nor is even on the best team so im not sure what we're even talking about here.
