I don't think he's the best player on his team, so no.

HE's clearly the best player on his team this season. He's been the best QB in the NFL, so yea.

Idk if Brady will win MVP, but 28 TDs and 2 interceptions is literally insane.

it is.

plus, he could have the inside track to win it again since he's won it before.

voters aren't shy about casting their votes for someone who has won it before.

While Julio Jones may be the most talented player for the Falcons, big games for him haven't exactly lead to Falcons wins in recent history.

Huge season last season=Falcons 8-8

This season:

When Julio goes over 100 yards: 3-4 record (it was 4 yards away from being 4-4)
When Julio is under 100 yards or does not play: 7-1 record

The double teams that he sees actually help fuel the Falcons on offense. It's risky and you'd need to have a good cover corner to do it, but looking at the last two seasons, it suggests that you should not double and triple him outside of big moments and force him to beat you alone.

While he can do it, more often than not he won't.

The offense for the Falcons is the only reason they're 11-5. Losing Julio would hurt but it wouldn't be catastrophic, lose Ryan and I think it's a 6-10 team at most.

Rodgers went for 45 TDs and 6 INTs in 2011 when he broke the record for passer rating, but yeah, Brady's season has been elite.

With as heavily weighted as TDs and INTs are in the passer rating formula, it is impressive that Matt Ryan is notably higher than Brady this year.

Brady's highest qb rating is 117.2. Matt Ryan's will be close to that after today.
