Rodgers twice, Jackson, Mahomes all led the league in QBR during their recent MVP seasons. In 2017, Brady didn't but the leader I believe was Keenum playing less games and not having as high of a passer rating as Brady. In 2016, Matt Ryan narrowly led in QBR and won MVP. Cam Newton in 2015 is an example of a QB winning MVP with a relatively pedestrian QBR. The advantage that Newton has over Hurts is a better narrative and the perception that he was the better player.

I would also say regarding Tua is that he has two elite WRs. All the off-season talk about how Mahomes would struggle without Hill and he still leads the league in most passing categories. To turn around and give it to the guy who now has Hill shows that people are trying to find a way to not justify giving it to Mahomes.
