These guys arguing for MVP on the pregame set. I was tracking with them saying Purdy, McCaffrey, Tyreek, etc. But then Marcus Spears chimes in with saying Lamar Jackson is the single most important player to his team. GTFOOH with that. I love Lamar, but Ravens still made the playoffs last year and damn near beat the fully loaded Bengals without him last season. Mahomes? Great, but nope. They’ve won games without him.
For years the Bills offense has been Josh Allen having to be super man. If he wasn’t Bills would lose. I think there’s some recency bias with Cook running wild, but Josh Allen has had little help over the years (admittedly some of which is his doing by not taking what’s there), but there is no player more valuable to his team than Josh Allen to the Bills. Take him off the Bills and they're probably a 4-8 win team.
