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.

I think it should matter in terms of how much a player elevates their team above and beyond what's expected... not necessarily "what would the team do without him," but were they playing out of their mind.
I think the argument is definitely there for the Ravens still winning 10 or 11 games without Jackson last season or without his 3600 yards passing and 24 passing touchdowns. Hell, he probably has a better case this year given the defense sucks.
I'm kind of torn on Burrow this season, just from their terribly weak wins... yeah, maybe they only win 5 or 6 games without him, but damnit he really elevated his team to beat all those 4-win teams and the Broncos and are still in the playoff hunt....
