I think hurts will win. CMC should win.

Myles Garrett is an absolute monster whom I would welcome on my team any time

To me it’s gotta be Garrett if not a QB, which it will be.

I believe awards should tell the story of the season, this is the season that defenses bit back and nobody proves that more than Garrett and the Browns. But instead it’s gonna go to Hurts or Mahomes or Lamar who are having what will probably go down as career average (if that) years

TJ Watt

Why not? They are the most valuable position by an astronomical amount, literally they make LT the second most paid and valuable position because they protect the qb.

I disagree. My argument: MVPurdy.

Myles Garrett

It's going to be a QB but if not we need to see the rest of the season. Does Cleveland win the division? Then maybe Garrett. Do the 49ers go on a roll behind CMC? What about Pittsburgh with Watt. We just don't know.

OP: “which non-QB should win MVP?”

90% of commenters: [just absolutely ignoring the question] “A QB”

FWIW my pick is Tyreek. Or Myles Garrett if he continues dominating and the Browns somehow win the division

Since their is a sub zero percent chance a QB wins. I give it to stroud.

He’s outplaying Mahomes an Hurts who are for whatever reason the top 2 ranked.

Still 7 weeks left, a QB could go on a tear and easily win

Give it to a lineman, then I'll be impressed.

Dexter Lawrence

CMC should be MVP. Niners would be a good team without him, but he opens up so much for Purdy and the rest of the offense and still has crazy rushing and receiving production as the number 1 focus of defenses.

Its sucks that Drew never won an MVP. For all of his amazing seasons they just happened to coincide with someone else’s equally if not more amazing season.

Honestly if Tyreek passes 2k yards, he deserves it.

I would like to see Myles Garrett win MVP if the Browns make the playoffs

Brees would’ve won MVP with that almost any other season, but Rodgers decided to play god mode that year as well. He had 45 TDs to only 6 INT in 15 games despite sitting out most fourth quarters because they were up by so much.

Really wish they’d put more emphasis on a QB only award and allow the MVP to truly be that… the most valuable player, not the best QB award. I would be shocked if a non-QB ever wins the MVP again with how the NFL views the game as a whole.

I’ve never understood why people are so shocked when a QB is chosen as the most VALUABLE player. The quarterback is usually the commander of the team. Look at the Chiefs. A bunch of bum receivers but they are still 7-3 because of Mahomes. So unless you have the 2000s ravens defense then the Quarterback is always going to be the most valuable for every team. Compare the outcry between Joe burrows injury and Justin Jefferson’s. Rant over.

Micah Parsons

Travis Etienne.

Myles Garrett. Honestly, he’s been absolutely brilliant this season and is the leader of a loaded defense that will most likely carry the team to the playoffs.

As a Texans fan, I want Stroud to be the MVP if this team wins the division and goes to the playoffs. We were expected to be a top 10 pick again this season and what he’s done this season is incredible. Respect to Hurts, but Stroud has had a better season.

Scanning thru all this, there's so many people who define it as best player rather than most valuable to their team. I guess I'm old school, but there are other awards for "best".

For example, Manning and Rodgers both won this several times, but if they'd had an elite D, I don't think they would have deserved it. Instead, look what happened when each was out a year. The entire team collapsed on both sides.

IMO, Miles Garret is a no-brainer. It's the opposite - the D is carrying this team, and it's even more impressive with the massive losses on offense. If he was a Raven, his name wouldn't even be mentioned.

Mahomes is playing amazing really, just major let downs by the WR corps.

That said, Tyreek has a real good shot if he passes the 2k. And Myles Garett on D?

As soon as Jalen is up for MVP:
"Doesn't count. Boo. Something something excuses"

Lamar won this in 2019. Hurts is more than deserving and should have won last year.

Garrett or Tyreek. The talk of Hurts et all as MVP is silly. I could see an argument for Stroud if he continues tearing it up and esp if the Texans make a deep playoff run.

Tyreek Hill, Myles Garrett, and CMC would be my top 3 non-QBs

Christian McCaffrey and it is not even close.

Trent Williams.

Why should a QB not win MVP this year? The quarterback position is head and shoulders clearly the most important position for every team in today's game. So unless the top QB contenders all fall off a cliff between now and the end of December, picking anyone other than a QB does seem to me to be either likely or appropriate.

The last time a non-QB won the award was in 2012 (Adrian Peterson). The last time and Non-QB/Non-RB won the award was 1986 (Lawrence Taylor).

So if you are going to gun to my head tell me I have to pick an non-QB, it would have to be McCaffrey. But the truth is that, unless the 49ers finish with the best record in the league, it is almost certain that a QB will be winning MVP again this year.

Miles Garrett. Dude just flat out is the most valuable player in football right now. Second place goes to Jason Kelce. Those are the correct answers, but everybody knows that a qb always gets to be prom queen. Makes no damn sense.

Sure.

Myles Garrett

Myles Garrett

For voting purposes Lamar Jackson is an RB

Honestly a QB absolutely should win it this year. And it should be Stroud. Texans wouldn't have shit for wins if he wasn't under center.

Tyreek

RB = Christian McCaffrey

WR = Tyreek Hill

TE = George Kittle

OL = Jason Kelce

DT = Dexter Lawrence

DE = Myles Garrett

LB = Fred Warner

CB = DaRon Bland

S = Jevon Holland

K = Dustin Hopkins

Brees was robbed way harder in 2009 vs 2011. Rodgers was playing out of his mind in 2011.

If Tyreek hits 2k he should Tun away with it

CMC without a doubt. Clearly the niners MVP and the Niners are maybe the best team in the league.

Tyreek hill scores like 80 points against me in fantasy, he must be having a good year

Christian McCaffrey

Should be Myles Garrett. The browns defense is single-handedly keeping them in playoff contention and he is the most dominant defensive player in the NFL right now.

It’s CMC

Garrett, CMC, AJ Brown, Tyreek

Ok. If you say so…

Tyreek is the most valuable player in the league in my opinion. He can change any game in 1 play and requires the most game planning for defenses. He is so much better than anyone that team could replace him with and his absence on the Chiefs is very noticeable. I also think Trent Williams or Myles’s Garret could be considered.

They should just give to a kicker again. For shits and giggles
