Mahomes missed some time with injury and had a regression in yards and TDs. I get it.

WHAT ABOUT DA DEFENSIVE PWAYUHS????!!!!" And of course, the "It's Brees' turn!" dumbasses.
When Lamar was the MVP frontrunner last year, none of these dipshits came out of the woodwork. Nobody wanted the alternative opinion to generate buzz or get people pissed off. Everybody was universally on board with Lamar.
Like... what the hell? Is it just written when you take these sports opinion douche jobs that you have to be nice to Lamar or something? Are we trying to protect his feelings? If you make a joke on national TV or radio about him being a RB, do you get suspended?

Crazy thing is Mahomes’ injury-riddled regression still had a 78/100 QBR. That is the same level QBR that delivered a bunch of MVP votes to Drew Brees in 2018. Tom Brady in 2017 won MVP with a 70 QBR.
Lamar went from 83 QBR last year to 62 QBR so far this season. Now THAT is a serious regression.
2018 - Mahomes 80 QBR (healthy)
2019 - Mahomes 78 QBR (injured)
2020 - Mahomes 86 QBR (healthy)
Pretty impressive how well he performed in 2019 given the ankle and knee issues. Many people don’t realize how messed up his ankle was in the first damn game of the season.
