Josh has passed for <200 yds 3 of his last 5 games and has thrown for 3TDs once in those 5. If you add in his rushing, he still falls short of 200 total yds but at least he has 3 total TDs in a couple of them. Does that spell MVP to you?
Lahhhmurrr has thrown for <200 in 2 of his last 5 and has thrown 3+ TDs twice in that time. If you add rushing to his 2 subs, at least he hits 200 total yards once and it gives him 3 total TDs in both games.
Both pale in comparison to what Joe has done his last 5.
'Total body of work' argument? Sure, but you and i both know that the MVP races ebbs and flows with 'what have you done for me lately', all year long.
Saquon is worthy though and i wouldn't be upset if he won it.

I don’t disagree with anything you said here and while overall record should not matter when selecting MVP, it does matter to voters. This is especially true for QBs. Look at last year.
Lamar won MVP not because he had the best numbers, but instead because he had a couple of great games against good teams. Plus he was the QB of what was the best regular season team.
Josh Allen arguably deserved it last year, but because of how his team performed in the regular season he didn’t get it.
