re: Matthew Stafford. NFL MVP.

Unfortunately the MVP is a political thing doesn’t matter who’s the best just who the voters like. They change which stats matter each year to justify their pick.

This is the reason Drew Brees never won an MVP. I’ll never respect the award for that reason it’s a joke

Maye needs to pay his dues. Too young.

Don’t try clapping back at me on this. I’ll be busy yelling at clouds.

Brought his four daughters up on stage with him to collect his award.

Class. Act. And a DGD.

Drake Maye was an imposter.

Stafford balled out for sure. Truly deserved it.

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.

Stafford played one of the toughest schedules. Maye played one of the easiest.

Stafford is one of only 8 QBs to throw for 45 plus TDs and less than 10 ints in a season. They all won MVPs except one. That's because the year that QB did it another one did in the same season and there is only one MVP trophy to give. The guy has never gotten the credit he deserves. The season he threw for 41 tds and 5000 plus yards and got Detroit to the playoffs, they still didn't even give him a Pro Bowl invite.
