He did.

Maye had:
Superior Efficiency Metrics: While Stafford had the volume (leading the league in yards and touchdowns), Maye led the NFL in nearly every major efficiency category, including Completion Percentage (72%), Yards Per Attempt (8.9), Passer Rating (113.5), and QBR (77.1).
Historic "Triple Crown": Maye became one of only three quarterbacks in NFL history—joining Tom Brady and Kurt Warner—to lead the league in both completion rate and yards per attempt in the same season.
Dual-Threat Impact: Unlike Stafford, who recorded only 1 rushing yard, Maye provided significant value on the ground with 450 rushing yards and 4 rushing touchdowns, making him a more versatile offensive threat.
"Turnaround" Factor: Maye was credited with transforming a Patriots team that went 3–14 the previous year into a 14-win juggernaut and Super Bowl contender in his first full season as a starter.
Doing "More with Less": Critics of the voting argued that Stafford benefited from an elite supporting cast—including Puka Nacua and Davante Adams—while Maye achieved historic efficiency with a significantly less heralded receiving corps.
Advanced Analytics: Maye ranked 1st in the NFL in EPA (Expected Points Added) per dropback and Completion Percentage Over Expected (+9.1%), whereas Stafford ranked 3rd and 16th respectively.

This is the normal way MVPs are judged.

Anyone with a 31/8 ratio isn't getting robbed when the other guy has a 46/8 ratio.

Maye also played one of the weakest schedules in league history

quote:


Here are the facts. The 2025 Patriots played the easiest schedule (in terms of opponent combined win percentage) by any team since the 1999 Rams.

To clarify, that's not just the easiest schedule by any Super Bowl team, I mean ANY team. The Patriots' opponents were a combined 113-176 this season (.391 win percentage). It's tied for the third easiest schedule by any team in the last 50 seasons.

It was a perfect storm. The Patriots got four games vs the struggling Dolphins and Jets. The other divisions they faced happened to be among the worst in football between the AFC North and NFC South. Plus, because the Patriots finished in last place in the AFC East in 2024 they got three more games vs. other last-place teams (Raiders, Giants, Titans), who all happened to be terrible again. They also played the Bengals without Joe Burrow.

There's another viral stat making the rounds recently courtesy of Brandon Anderson (Action Network). Almost two-thirds of the Patriots games were played vs. teams who either fired or did not return their head coach.

Most people wanted Maye to win because everyone wants to see the young and up and coming QB win it. Stafford is the old dog who has been in the league for awhile, won a SB already, ect. At the end of the day, while not the 'hot' choice, Stafford deserved the MVP.
