Even if we win the division without winning out, it's clear that he's the MVP of the league and people will be seeing his recent play and won't be thinking "he's amazing but he struggled the first few games."

Any voters that have enough knowledge to know he struggled in the first few games will also know that he was injured.

Allow me to help you, Brad.

In 2019, Lamar Jackson was the MVP of the NFL by UNANIMOUS vote. In games 3-7, he posted a QB rating over 85 one time (96.1 in game 4) and under 71 QB rating 3 times. In one of those games he only completed 45% of his passes.  Oh, but he rushed the ball alot! In only 2 of those games did he rush for over 70 yards (he did rush for 156 yards in 1 of these games). To be fair, the Ravens only lost 2 of these games.

However, from game 8 to game 15, Lamar only posted a QB rating below 100 one time (he didn't play in game 16), threw 3 or more TDs in all but 2 games (in those 2 still threw 1 TD in each game), threw only 1 INT in that entire span, and proceeded to win each and everyone of those games.

I reiterate, if Burrow plays like he has the last 4 games while also winning every single game, he's a shoe in for MVP.
