Anybody Else Tired of Maye for MVP?

[Rich Stadium Original]

I mean he's a fairly accurate passer..thats a given..but MVP??

Look at the highlights from the Jets game. He throws from a fairly clean pocket most of the game to receivers that are fairly wide open. Very little pressure --just one sack ( for 1 yd) and at least 2 of his TDs were to guys with no one within five yards of them and just walked into the end zone.

I think about 3/4 of the NFL QBs would be successful under that system.

People sometimes forget the meaning of MVP. 

When I think MVP, I think of true playmaker like Mahommes, Jackson, Allen or even Barkley or Cook, not somebody playing backyard catch with wide open receivers.

 

[Kelly to Allen]

2023 destroyed the award so it's whatever. Glad Allen got one but don't care anymore.

 

McCaffrey has a legitimate case imho

[Success]

He probably gets it now, or that's how it seems, unless he has a terrible game Sunday.

 

Good.  The Pats will just have to pay him that much more.

Stafford choked pretty hard…as far as who the award goes to usually it kinda makes sense for maye to get it despite me not finding him very impressive eye-test wise.
 

Id find it a little bit funny if the pats lost to the 7 seed then he won the award tbh.  I think that 2 vs 7 game is gonna give them the second best opponent they’ve seen all year no matter who it is

He's over 70% this year so saying he's "fairly accurate" is really underselling it.

And Vrabel will be coach of the year.

Yeah he’s extremely accurate and throws a nice ball with plenty of touch. Only time I’ve seen him semi-struggle is what gets every QB in the league - pressure. Give him time and a clean pocket and he’ll find the open guy and get the ball there better than most QBs in the league - so far. He’s due to hit his adversity patch at some point soon.

Maye checks the boxes, from a 4-win team to Division winner and likely 14 wins,  they are a 1 or 2 seed, he's sitting on 30 TD passes and only 8 Ints, 72% completions.  Other than the Bills games they played the lousiest schedule imaginable, but hey they don't make the schedule.

So sure, just give it to him i suppose.  As other have said, I'm just happy Allen has one MVP on his mantle so it's whatever at this point.

[boater]

If Josh Allen made that 2 point conversion on Sunday, he would be at the forefront of the MVP conversation. Fate is a fickle beast.

[Captain Hindsight]

It would be one of the weakest MVPs ever if that’s the case. I’ve watched him alot. He’s good, I don’t see a great player. The Pats* schedule has been incredibly easy

 

If they win a playoff game I’ll be shocked

There's a lot of truth there. Will be interesting to see if or how he progresses. Especially if he does win the MVP, it really cranks the expectations up for him. He can't even be aver without getting blasted, especially in that town with the ghost of Brady. 

 

It's sad too, because I like the kid and he seems like a good human. I'd love to be able to root for him. Just not gonna happen playing for that team lol.

[BillsPride12]

I honestly really don't care and haven't thought much about the MVP award all season. Just happy Allen was able to get one

[boyst]

All of it will make it that much more bittersweet when the Patriots are 9-8 next year on the outside looking in...

Home

Broncos

Raiders

Packers

Vikings

Bills

Dolphins

Jets

Steelers or Ravens

Away

Bears

Lions

Chiefs

Chargers

Bills

Dolphins

Jets

Jaguars or Texans

Seahawks or 49ers

 

Going west to LA, and Seatle/SF is not easy @ Arrowhead and @ Detroit will be struggles. The Bears are interesting. Jax/Hou won't be pushed over.

 

Their home schedule isn't the hardest part. I'd be amazed if they beat 5-4 on the road.

[zow2]

I could be wrong but I think Mahomes and Lamar both won MVPs in their second seasons.  So Maye winning would not be unprecedented by any means.

[Mango]

The whole MVP thing seems so far out of whack these days. It should literally be the most important player on any teams roster, that if they lost them the whole thing would crumble. 

It isn't a "Best QB Award" And it isn't a "Best player in the league award"

I think Vrabel probably deserves "Coach of the Year" which to me devalues Maye's case for MVP along with the eye test.

This situation is similar as to last season when Lamar Jackson was clearly the MVP with superior stats but Allen won it. Even rushing wise Lamar had Allen beat with almost 1000 for the season. Allen had more TD's but were 1 yard tush pushes. So now all the sudden Maye isn't worthy under the same circumstances...got it. Maye is #1 or top 3 in almost every QB category. Matter of fact Maye is having a better season than Allen last season minus sucks but the Bills Oline was elite then.

[Mr. WEO]

I can barely get out of bed...

[eball]

All the more fun when we knock them out of the playoffs...

 

[Uncle Monkeyhead]

No, and I didn't care when Josh won it. It's become a ridiculous award. For my "get off my lawn"  moment here, I need to say back in the day it truly went to the MVP regardless of Position and W-L record. 

[DabillsDaBillsDaBills]

Maye had a solid but not spectacular season. He stacked up a lot of stats and wins without ever really having a bad game. 

 

Sure he did it against a cupcake schedule but who else would you give MVP to this year?
