How much sense does Mahomes make for MVP?

Would you rather have a guy posting touchdown stats right now than the guy who is leading his team to a perfect record despite all of his offensive weapons being decimated?

Mahomes' numbers would clearly be fine if his top two WRs were healthy. He's managed his way around that and made the plays he's needed to make to get this team wins each week. He's the real MVP.

I'm sure if this was Brady we were talking about - you'd be saying the same thing right?

The MVP does not always go to the player on the best team. That's not an accurate statement at all.

Mahomes leads the NFL in INTs and is ranked 16th for passing yds. His 6 TDs put him at 21st for the season. Stats don't tell the whole story but come on...

He's not the MVP of the NFL thus far this season and it's not really close. He's still the leader of arguably the best team in the NFL and career wise the current best player.... However. season wise, thus far, plenty of players are having better years.
