Between long plays being called back, conservative situational playcalling, and a certain lack of a challenge last night, he might get hosed in the statistical race.

However, anyone who doesn't think he's the best player in football by a WIDE MARGIN simply isn't paying attention. Two years ago, it was Brady and Brees, last year it was Lamar, the first half of this season it was Russ, now it's Rodgers.

There's always someone the media says is better than Mahomes. However, the one constant in the bullshit comparisons IS MAHOMES. The others come and go, but he's always there.

Do you see Mahomes scoring 12 points at home and losing to a 4-7 team like Russ did? No.

Do you see Mahomes EVER getting beat 38-10 like Rodgers did? No.

Mahomes has no peer, he has no bad games, he has no letdowns. He is inevitable. The best player in football, the MVP, end of story, shut it down, no discussion.

You can give the award to someone else, but Patrick Mahomes is on a level all his own in this league. Anyone saying otherwise is just trying to stir up hot takes or doesn't have a clue what they're talking about.

Here's a stat to keep an eye on. The record is 2007 Brady at 96 PAA. Mahomes is already at 77 PAA, not much different than Rodgers' 2011 season of 78 PAA. Mahomes is currently on pace to finish with 103 PAA. Rodgers is currently at 57 PAA and on pace to finish with 78 PAA, equal to his 2011 season but still way behind Brady in 2007 or Mahomes 2020. Would be pretty wild if Mahomes breaks a record that was firmly in Brady's name for all these years and ends up losing MVP.
