If Mahomes keeps this up and Gurley gets the MVP....then Pat got ****ing robbed. I’ll assume it’s because of the LA market versus the Kansas City market.

For the record - Gurley isn't even the MVP of the Rams.
When Gurley was just as talented as he is now 2 seasons ago but Goff sucked, so did Gurley. This EXACT player ran for 3.2 YPC. He was a below average NFL producer. Fisher did him no favors but Fisher did him no favors the year prior either and Gurley ran well then. McVay absolutely makes a huge difference, but if Goff isn't out there being such a dangerous downfield passer (he really does throw an outstanding deep ball), the Rams couldn't spend pretty much every down in 11 personnel. By doing that, defenses constantly have to respect everywhere on the field because the 3 wide sets that McVay works almost exclusively from keeps them honest. Put an average RB on the Rams and they aren't that much different. Put an average QB on the Rams and they're nowhere near as good as they are. Goff's ability to work the ball downfield makes that offense go.

Mahomes is more valuable if for no other reason than his position. Just the way it works, the guy has an influence on every single we play we run.
Someone arguing for Gurley may cite KC’s playmakers as a reason why Mahomes shouldn’t be, but not even that would not be fair. There aren’t many, if any QBs in the league who would have his numbers that he currently does. His skill set takes this set of weapons to their highest possible level. |

A QB isn't gonna win 13-14 games, throw for 5K yards and 50+ TDs and NOT win the MVP award. It's an absolute mind-**** that those are reasonably attainable number for a Chiefs quarterback.

Mahomes is the biggest thing in Sports right now, not just the NFL- period.
He has a chance to tie or break more records this weekend. |

If anything is unsustainable here, it's Gurley's td rate. He's not going to break Tomlinson's record.
Rushing TDs in the modern game can't be produced consistently enough to keep pace. That record is harder to break than any of the single season passing records. |
