Looking at that comparison chart I can understand why some people have Dak as MVP. First of all he doesn't have as many weapons as Purdy. None of us can deny that their playmakers just don't match up with SF. The other thing is he plays for the Cowboys. Like it or not, those Eastern writers are going to favor a guy from the NFC East over the NFC West if it's close. I think it should be Purdy but I won't be upset if Dak wins it. Especially if the Niners win the SB.
Can you? Because I absolutely cannot. Dak is CLEARLY #2 when you look at this chart.
Same.
You had me at Dak is clearly number 2
To you and most Niner fans he's #1. That isn't necessarily true for people in other parts of the country. Many of them don't actually see him play and see the way he finds open receivers when the play breaks down. They still view hm as a rather small QB with limited athletic skills. Remember Dallas games are shown in the Eastern time zone so more people see him play. I'm not defending Dak. I'm just trying to explain why Dak is viewed as the MVP favorite by many.
What does not being a Niner fan have to do with being able to read a chart?
People that vote on these awards don't just look at numbers. Those stats may be relevant but the voters look at a lot of things. Come on. You watch enough sports to know that. They're often a popularity contest. They look at comeback wins and that ranks high in their view because those are memorable. It 's often been suggested that the award shouldn't be called most valuable. It should be most outstanding. Those are 2 different things. East coast bias is real and always has been. Two thirds of the population lives there. They don't care about or see many Niner games.
Niner fans are fixated on the Niners. Why not. That's our team. We want our guys to win every award. If they wait until after the SB then the winner of that would often be the MVP.
It sometimes comes down to how would a team do if they had a different QB. The Niners wouldn't be as good but they would still be a playoff team. They have so many weapons that it would be nearly impossible for them not to play well enough to make the playoffs. We saw the Niners make the SB with JG who isn't as good as Brock but was good enough. He didn't have the weapons that Brock had either. Sanders was maybe their best receiver along with Kittle. They didn't have CMC. Still they nearly beat KC. Dallas has Dak and Lamb on offense and a good O line. The rest of their offensive talent is average at best. So you could say Dak is more valuable. Not better but more important to his team relative to the rest of the talent on the team.
Dude, you literally said "Looking at that comparison chart I can understand why some people have Dak as MVP."
Every word you have said in every post on this topic is irrelevant because it has nothing to do with the sentence above that I was replying to. You said you can understand it BASED ON THE CHART. Nothing based on the chart suggests Dak is worthy of MVP over Purdy.

. But very cool how BP acknowledges the moment but then, right back to work. Laser focused.
