83 has 3 hall of famers which at this point seems unlikely for 2020 so that’s probably gonna keep its crown but still pretty remarkable.

Is there another draft class that within 4 years had produced 1/3 of the best 12 QBs in the league as it looks like the 2020 class has?

I guess the 1983 class is the closest but I don’t know if Ken O’Brien ever got there.

I had completely forgotten that Jalen was taken in the second (and that Jordan Love went before him lol)

Hell even Jordan Love is good enough to not be considered an out and out bust I think, that’s also pretty rare from a draft I’d imagine.

when family's all that we got?
I'd give it another season before judging, if he leaves after next season in FA it's arguable since you only got two years from him on (what would be equivalent to) his rookie deal. but if he sticks around for a few years, competent starting QB play from the back end of the first draft is by no means a bust

it's strange that Purdy is still getting such strong MVP hype when we have a clear case study that the offense is trash without Williams and Deebo and a healthy(ish) CMC. it'd be one thing if the offense was ok but unspectacular on that losing skid, but they played like doodoo butter. he's obviously one of the main contributors, but based on how terrible the offense looked idk how you can argue he's the most valuable player on that unit, let alone in the league

if Purdy wins it over CMC it'll be more fraudulent than Embiid's MVP

I agree with CMC 4 MVP but I don't know why people keep talking like the Niners offense turned into the Jets during the losing streak. The Browns game was ugly (in part because the conditions were awful but still, definitely the worst offensive game of the season) but they were perfectly fine against the Bengals and Vikings. They averaged like 7 yards per play across those two games, they just shot themselves in each foot and then the head with turnovers. And of course turnovers are extremely bad but I think a rash of mistakes is a lot different than actually just being trash and unable to move the ball. Trent and Deebo own but I don't think they change that or the defense's inability to get off the field in those games, and that's what killed the Niners October.

e: it is funny how MVP talk works though, I thought Purdy was a lot worse against Seattle than he was against, say, the Bengals but they won against Seattle so he's back in the MVP chase whereas the Bengals exposed him and it's Darnold time

Think of those three games like this:

Purdy had the game winning drive vs the browns. Kicker missed.

Kirk Cousins and Joe Burrow had like career games vs the niners defense. Hard to come back from that.

Dunno if he's MVP worthy though. He needs a few more completely dominant wins this year to get into that conversation.

It's hard to throw the ball when the opposing d-line is 3 steps into the backfield instantly after every snap. As bad as Purdy might have been, the o-line was much worse.

For sure but in fairness it's a narrative argument for what's already a narrative discussion. His almost comeback to steal a poo poo game only comes up because he's frequently criticized for being unable to comeback or steal you a poo poo game. Definitely a poo poo game, though.

Anyway, if the MVP has to go to a QB and not CMC, I think there's like a half dozen guys at least who could claim it with a strong December and I'm not even sure who my favorite would be ATM. Brock's in that mix but actually winning would surprise me.

I still think Myles Garrett has a shot at MVP. It's an outside shot, but if the Browns make the playoffs basically carried by that defense, QBs continue to look human AND he breaks the sack record, which he is on pace to tie or beat, he's a solid candidate. In all likelihood it will end up not only going to an offensive player but to a QB even with how human even the best QBs have looked this year, but Garrett is having a monster year and getting just enough "Wow this guy is a MONSTER" coverage that I think there is a slim but real chance he gets the first defensive MVP since LT.

The most likely and boring outcome is probably that one of the top QBs goes on a hot streak through December and locks up the award. Agree it would be cool to see it go to another position for once and that this year is uniquely suited to it happening. What with all the injuries, and every favorite has dropped at least one game to a trashcan team (can you really give the MVP to a guy who lost to the Jets, Patriots, or Broncos? :thunk:).

For what it's worth Hurts is the current betting favorite although of course that's not the same as most likely to win

Also yeah as Charles said the voters seem to have short memories. Balling out in week 17 to clinch the #1 seed and cap off an MVP case is going to carry more weight than the exact same performance in week 6 even if it shouldn't

Looking at a 5-5 team with a schedule that includes a 8-3 team, 7-3 team, and 6-4 team and thinking they could win out seems a little optimistic. If they win those three games, which I think is a long shot, they have a decent shot since the rest of the games are not good teams. Even then though, it requires a level of consistently good play we just haven't seen from the Broncos.

Yeah there are a handful of QBs that are in the running and the one that has the best December probably takes it.

Or CMC if they feel spicy.

brown hasn't played this week, but i didn't realize he only had 6 yards against the chiefs last week. earlier it did seem like both could cross the 2k yard mark. also frankly if hill doesn't break calvin johnson's record by the end of week 16 then the whole thing is bullshit and he doesn't deserve the mvp anyway

It's a different league with 17 games and all the previous records should be retired. Hill absolutely isn't breaking anything. Neither is Garrett.

Brown seems thoroughly cockblocked by his own teammate anyway. Like maybe if he was posting that stat line with Kenny Pickett throwing to him he'd be in the mix. But on a good team with a great QB he's just helping make Hurts' case rather than building his own. Hurts is only a couple rushing TDs behind CMC which is loving insane. If it goes to an Eagle it's obviously him.

Tyreek is a bit more live but I still think it'll go to QB of a top conference seed unless they ALL melt down

Taking a look the Chiefs finish the year with a very soft schedule, might be a good time to put a few bucks on Mahomes MVP :thunk:

All I'm saying is that they have improved from their 70 point drubbing by the Dolphins and I don't think folks realize that.

And I'm not sure anyone can predict what can happen in Detroit/Denver after that meltdown Thursday, Lions sucked an incredible amount of rear end.

Tyreek isn’t winning MVP. The league doesn’t want an even bigger spot light on what a dick he is.

It will be whichever qb throws together the best December or possibly Garrett.

Garrett absolutely has a better case but it probably won’t matter.

If Tyreek and Tua both stay healthy they are going to try and force 2000 yards come hell or high water.

Honestly seems like that’s been the offenses biggest goal since like week 6, at times.

No QB deserves it this point this season, it should be Garret, Tyreek, or CMC.
