My thoughts:
- If the Chiefs get past the Bills to remain undefeated, and Pat rebounds to have a few 3 TD games, then I think he's in the mix.
- At the moment, there's not really a runaway candidate. It's a very weird NFL year so far with injuries and inconsistent play.
- If everything stayed the same and we are in week 16, I think Goff would have the momentum due to the Lions record and his accuracy stats.
- It's a QB award. There's not a defender that is blowing the world away statistically to change that this year. Same with WR or RB.

In summary - if this team stays undefeated while the other teams (Lions, Ravens, Bills) take a few L's, and Pat starts connecting with Worthy on deep shots (he will), I think he'll work his way into the conversation in mid-November. The conversation will shift to "look what he's done despite all the adversity."
If we drop a couple games, and Pat's stats stay the same, there's no chance.
Thankfully, we proved last year that the regular season is our pre-season and we get disgusting in the playoffs. Our Rungame (Hunt, Pacheco, Steele) + Our Defense + even a Mid-level Patrick is almost insurmountable in January/February.
