No player on a 9-8 team is that valuable. Burrow could've missed the entire season and it would've cost the Bengals what, 4 wins or so?

Primarily because one player can only do so much. What they have done should not be impacted by the failures of others. But they are, and I get it. It’s why I am saying that he won’t win it because he is the QB and his team’s record does matter.
An example of getting MVP despite team performance would be the Stanley Cup finals last year. Although Florida won it, McDavid was MVP. They gave it to him as it was clear that he was heads and toes the best player in that series despite his team winning it all.
Now Burrow has put up great numbers this year, but he’s not head and toes better than anyone else and because of that he won’t win.
