Its basically gonna come down to whether voters want a historically great year in terms of gross stats or efficiency.

You're not wrong, and don't get me wrong, Mahomes is a very deserving candidate without question.


In the grand scheme, it would just be really shitty since this same scenario played out in 2011, and Rodgers got the nod for MVP(rightfully so IMO) based on efficiency, but Brees clearly had the better gross stats.


And to that note, Brees, of all QBs, to miss out on an MVP for a dude with gross stats would just be really shitty considering he'll likely retire as the all time passing yards and passing TD leader but without an MVP. He's essentially the king of Gross yards/TDs but will never have an MVP, and a dude with gross stats in yards/TDs will win over him?

Brees has also led the NFL in passing yards 7 times, passing TDs 4 times, and he's led in both in the same season twice, once in a 13-3 season. And again, no MVP.
