[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1082611, member: 18006"] He had some logical reasons, not all of which I recall at the moment. I agree that right now, Stafford is the strong favorite, and Bukowski acknowledges that he might have to have one more poor game to help Love. But his reasoning is that: 1) Love is statistically the best quarterback in the league by far in terms of advanced stats - 1st in EPA per play, 2nd in total EPA, 1st in passing EPA, 1st in EPA from a clean pocket, 2nd in clean pocket efficiency success rate, 2nd in success in play action - and in late down conversions (3rd and 4th), 1st in success rate, 1st in EPA per play, 1st in adjusted EPA, and EPA per play plus completion percentage. I don't really understand half of those terms, and some of them I never even heard of. But Bukowski appears to (or claims to), and he says that these stats (especially the EPA stats) are something that the voters weight very heavily. According to him, it's very unusual that the MVP is not the EPA leader. 2) Stafford crapped the bed a couple of weeks ago against Carolina, with 2 INTs, a fumble, and a pick six in a loss to a poor team. Carolina beat us, too, but it wasn't because of Love. And in the last 6 weeks, Love has played exceptionally well in 4 games (with a couple of them arguably 2 of them the best half dozen of his career), and if we win out he'll have to have at least a couple more lights-out games - Denver and Chicago V2. So he'll have finished very strong the second half of the season. 3) Darnold and Stafford both play in the same division, and only one of them can win it. Drake Maye has good numbers against a weak schedule and a short track record, Josh Allen is having a sub-par year and probably won't win his division, and Dak Prescott is putting up great numbers but his team isn't even going to win 10 games. 4) Stafford benefits from a much better rushing attack than Green Bay has; Love has to pretty much carry the entire Packer offense. He truly would [I]be [/I]the most valuable player on his team. I'm not sold on his overall argument, but there are some persuasive points there. We have to play out the last 4 weeks to see how well they stand up, and how some of the others do, but if we do win out, it will be because Love played dynamite football in some very high-pressure games down the stretch. Bukowski may be right when he suggests that this would move him to the top of the list. [MEDIA=youtube]id=cLc56nx1xL4;list=PL-RuEvULUzmi6RA5721vGf1W62qHUSUnL[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
