Was Hurts really the SB MVP?

[SoonerBillsFan]

Vic Fangio was the MVP.

No single defensive player had a bigger contribution to the win. 

 

They don't give MVP to groups. It's an individual award. 

Sweat had 2.5 sacks, 2 TFL's and 3 qb hits. That's a pretty impressive box score. Like I said if we strike out on a Garrett/ Cosby trade, I'm going to work up a strong Sweat.

 

Roseman and the Front 4 were your MVP's.

Sweat would be an amazing addition, no doubt.

The line was definitely MVP - they don't do that though, right?

 

If they can't do a whole unit, Hurts was the right choice. He had a great game, passing & running, and making key plays all night.

 

Other than that bone headed INT in FG territory he, like you said, played a quality game. Cant complain about the selection. Not the only reason they won but certainly was key. Kid elevates himself in the Super Bowl in back to back appearances.

Yeah, he had a good game but I think they should’ve given it to the whole Eagles defensive line.  They were awesome.

 

I came on here the other day and said the pass rush doesn’t matter if KC runs the short pass game like they did vs the Bills.  Boy, was I wrong!

Mahomes got so antsy from being hit, he was rushing passes with a clean pocket, which I know was rare in this game.

 

it was the kind of game that pretty much ended Tony Eason’s career after the 85 Bears harassed him or Jared Goff’s performance for a couple years after the Patriots pummeled him.  
 

Mahomes seems to be a different breed who shouldn’t be affected by this game but who knows.

unless they change the definition to MVP [Most Valuable Player(s)] then no, sorry. They wreaked havoc all night but Hurts capitalized on almost every chance the D gave him. He’s been low key banged up pretty much all of last (2023) season and parts of this season. He’s very f’in good when healthy. He deserves it 100%.

Chris Jones should have been last years MVP.

I'm fine with Hurts winning this years MVP, but I honestly think half of the QB's in the NFL could have won that game yesterday.

 

Physically, yes. But his identification of pressure was seriously impressive. I think fewer than half a dozen QBs in the league could have identified the pressure and adjusted protections as well as he did. That has always been Hurts' super power. He isn't the most accurate thrower of a football ever, he is a bit "see it, throw it" rather than someone who throws guys open but he works so hard and is so prepared. That boy had watched tons of tape of KC. It was really evident. There wasn't a blitz in Spags' bag he hadn't seen before on film and wasn't prepared for. 

[PaoloBillsFanFromItaly]

1) defense (especially dline)

2) offensive line (pass pro was excellent)

3) qb

[nuklz2594]

vic fangio is true mvp. had a defense scheme that didnt blitz once

[Doc Brown]

I think the voters gave DeVontae Smith 1st team SB all Pro but gave the SB MVP to Jaylen Hurts.  He deserved it.  Led the team in rushing too with the Chiefs shutting down Barkely.

Hurts was very good, but yeah the Philly pass rush was the MVP. I seen some people today saying that KC had Recievers open but Mahomes either didn’t have the time needed to find them or the rush was causing him to believe he had no time and making him bounce around the pocket with antsy feet.

 

He sacked himself at least a couple of times trying to run, it looked like stepping up but he didn't have any intension of passing.  Both int's were on him too, lost track of dejean on the first and the 2nd he had space to maneuver but rushed the throw.

Right read, but a truly bad throw.  

[Big Turk]

Someone on D would be the obvious choice

The game plan was to stop Barkley and make Hurts beat them. He did exactly that.

The game was out of reach by halftime due to a pick 6 and another forced turnover in the red zone.  The game was basically over before Hurts had to do anything.  Philly could have won that game with Kenny Pickett at QB.

Not a chance.

Who though? Philly's total defense had an all-time great performance, but no great individual performances. 

 

Sweat had 2.5 sacks and Williams had 2 sacks, but neither forced any turnovers. 

 

Dejean had the pick-6 but no sacks. Baun had the other INT but no sacks. 

 

It goes to the QB by default in a game like this. Hurts had a decent enough game with just under 300 yards, 3 TD, 1 turnover.

Kenny Pickett could have easily given the Chiefs the 14 point swing they needed to get back in the game. 

 

It was certainly a whole team win, and the Philly front 4 dominated. 

 

The secondary was outstanding in coverage and DeJean's pick 6 was the stuff legends are made of. 

 

I think you're forgetting that Hurts led the opening scoring drive of the game, and was responsible for over 50% of his team's points.

Then you should re-watch the game. Because the defense won it.

[YodaMan79]

No.  If you watched the game and weren't basing it off of the box score, it's pretty clear.  The stats were compiled when the Eagles were already up by 24 points.  The defense deserved the credit.  It was an all-time game wrecking performance.  Jalen is a smart man, he even thanked the defense first.

Right.  The defense scored all the points, had 300 total yards and 3TDs.  

 

Half the QBs in the league aren't making those throws nor rushing for 72 yards.

[RyanC883]

Hurts made the plays when he had to make them and had some really really nice passes doing so (ex. the 2nd Eagles TD).  The DL dominated and dictated the game.  To me, dictating the game is the MVP.  But you can't give it to an entire unit unfortunately, so Hurts wins by default.
