I’m really confused by the arguments in this thread. Of course, Rogers has it pretty much locked up (I guess the biggest question mark is whether voters will stupidly vote against him for COVID stuff).

That said, given Burrow’s overall performance combined with his improvement throughout the year—peaking at the end of the year (and voters probably have a recency bias)—and his team’s performance and improvement (that he was a major part of), it’s not surprising he is one of the top contenders for MVP behind Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers sacked 27 times.
Tom Brady sacked 21 times.

Joe Burrow sacked 51 times. That's more than Rodgers and Brady COMBINED. I think this speaks more for Joe Burrow on what he's been able to accomplish this year despite the play of his OL.

I actually was too

I thought when I made the thread it was generally understood those were the final 3 candidates.

I think this board like I said underrates Joe because they want to push back against Lsu fans

This was the really amusing part of the post:

It’s Rogers to lose, but a bad game tonight and I think burrow would be the front runner on the odds makers


The phrasing "NFL MVP race down to 3" also implies a reasonable probability that Burrow could actually win, which just isn't true in reality. Of course in typical pride fashion that pivoted to a bet about top 3 this week on odds sites.
