All of those statlines are QBs who are either in the playoffs or have solid chances to make the playoffs. Only one of those guys are being called an MVP favorite. Heck there's two QBs with 15 rushing TDs each this season and they aren't even on that list.

Despite Lamar having low passing yards in his MVP season, he at least led the NFL in passing TDs, had a 113.3 QB Rating, and had 1,200 rushing yards at like 7 yards per carry despite only playing 15 games. That was a real MVP season, he's only being called the favorite this year because he has a great team around him and has name power that people like to hype up. 

Good season in 2023? Yes. MVP season? No.

, your not changing my position and im not changing yours, so moving on .
