That won't be why Lamar wins it. He will win it because he has better counting stats. Not counting yesterday Allen had 6 games below 200 yards passing. Lamar beat him by 400 yards on the ground and in the air. I don't really think it's that close tbh. One of Allen's best games is when Buffalo lost(LA).
I’m not arguing those facts. But I’ve heard the head to head argument proffered on multiple media outlets. The problem with the QB position and using strict numbers is so much of your stats depend on team style of play and game situation. A major reason burrow has the numbers he does is because his team was down so often they had to throw. I do think overall team performance matters quite a bit for the mvp award and number are just one part of the equation. This isn’t best offensive player award. The fact the bills had a better record and had wins over both number 1 conference seeds in my opinion greatly bridges any numbers gap between he and Lamar .
I think Allen will win MVP and he'd get my vote personally but I will not complain at all if Lamar wins. They both had remarkable seasons. Drastic difference from last year when nobody had a remarkable season.
I'd take Goff over Herbert and def over Stroud. But I get your point.
James Cook isn’t a slouch himself.
