Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has long been considered to be favorite to win the NFL MVP award this year...and with the success of the Packers, it's not surprising why. But, are we looking past other MVP candidates, players who are as deserving, if not more deserving to win than Rodgers?
Let's have a look. First, let's start with the Packers QB. Rodgers has thrown for 4,115 yards in 16 games, throwing 37 TDs to just 4 INTs. His completion rate is 68.9, and is QB rating is 111.9. However, his yards are only good for #10 in the league. Next, let's look at the old man, Tom Brady down in Tampa. 5,316 (#1) yards in 17 games, 43 TDs, 12 INTs, 67.5 completion rate, 102.1 QB Rating. So, Brady has thrown for 1,201 more yards, and threw 6 more TDs, but also threw 8 more INTs. He threw for more, but was less careful with the ball. Moving to a different category, we have RB Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts. In 17 games, Taylor rushed for 1,811 yards (#1), and 18 TDs (#1), with a 5.5 YPC average. That's over 100 yards and 1 TDs per game. He also had 40 receptions for another 360 yards and 2 additional TDs. So, 2,171 yards from scrimmage, 20 TDs. That's a pretty damn good season right there. Lemme put it this way: He won the rushing title by 552 yards. Well, if we are looking outside of the QB position, what about Rams WR Cooper Kupp? 145 receptions (#1), 1,947 yards (#1), 16 TDs (#1), 13.4 YPR, 114.5 YPG (#1)? There are a few QBs with better stats than Matt Stafford, which is why Staff isn't being listed here as a potential MVP candidate himself, but as far as WRs go, there was Cooper Kupp, and then everyone else. On the defensive side, he's pretty much a lock for AFC DPOY, but what about the Steelers TJ Watt as NFL MVP? 22.5 sacks (#1), 21 TFL (#1), 7 PD, 5 FF with 3 FR? Anyone missing you think should get legit consideration for MVP? Let us know in the comments!
