Maye has been great but Stafford has better stats and played a much tougher schedule in the best division in football.
He should be a slam dunk.

The rushing yards for each QB are much closer than I thought they would be 
I really want to see Stafford win it though. I think he needs it to cement his place in the HOF.

He also has better talent around him (especially at WR) and a genius play caller.

how have DArnold’s stats been? That cat won a lot of games too.

Maye would have had a chance if not for that unfortunate accident with a giant pretzel.

I think this guy has it right - Maye is the guy.
Maye. Stafford didn’t even win his division.

Stafford fell hard towards the end and if Maye wins it’s beacue Stafford basically gave it to him. However, I do think Stafford should still be the MVP and I think it shouldn’t be close.
He doesn’t just have more passing yards, but he wound up leading the entire league. 4,700 yards is pretty damn close to another 5k season. He leads the league in TD’s by a large margin. He only has 8 INT’s and honestly, his INT’s came in these late games that dont mean anything. He could have sat the rest of the season.
When you lead the league in passing yards, and by a large margin in TD passes plus your team wins 12 games then I don’t understand how thats not the MVP if a QB is the MVP? Its like a WR who leads the league is receiving yards and TD catches losing to a WR who has less. That doesn’t make sense.
Plus Stafford had 20 straight TD’s passes without an INT. And he broke a few more records.
Maye had a great season with a good schedule, but not like MVP QB season. He’s 4th in passing yards, hes tied with INT’s so it’s not like he did better there and only because of one game, and 3rd in TD passes but a far 3rd. Dak, and Lawrence are right behind him so it’s not overwhelming like Stafford.
I have my problems with Goff, but if Goff had the wins he’d be above Maye.
If Stafford doesn’t win I’d give it to CMAC honestly. If Cleveland had the wins I’d put Garret above Maye. Jonathon Taylor would have been my second choice but he and Indy fell hard. It sucks that it’s become a QB only award now.
So not only should Stafford be MVP, I have others above Maye.

Drake Maye for me. He’s simply done more with less and if we’re talking total yards and tds Stafford isn’t that much better given his supporting cast. It’s just like allen and lamar last year.

This is a very fair assessment (though Maye played a cupcake, not even average schedule). There is both a knock and somewhat a compliment in there for Goff as well which begs this question…
With 3 straight years of similar production by Goff, 2 division titles, playoff wins, all winning seasons, and stats that put him “at least in the conversation of MVP” all 3 years… why so hard on him?
I think 100% of us would take Stafford for one 4th quarter drive, Allen for the 2026 season, or Maye to build around for 8-10 years… ALL of us…. But none of those things are going to happen-
2023- QBs with at least 4K yards (a full season)
- Goff- 2nd yards, 4th TDs, 6th rating
2024- QBs with at least 4K yards
- Goff- 2nd yards, 4 TDs, 2nd rating
2025- QBs with at least 4K yards
- Goff- 2nd yards, 2nd TDs, 3rd rating
If you look at the overall rankings those years, you will see Lamar, Burrow, Darnold, Purdy, Stroud, Dak, Baker, Tua, Allen, Maye, and Stafford up at the top of those categories with Goff, but most of them only for ONE YEAR, not all 3….
Stafford is the MVP and Kupp… I mean Puka is the offensive player of the year- Stafford has now had 3 different receivers he has helped make “HIM” over his career… Stafford doesn’t have the year he did without Adams and Puka, but they don’t without him either!

If Decker retires and the Lions spend his cap space at C ans OG, and draft an OT in round one… I think we are better, younger, stronger, and more athletic across the OL..
if we restructure Goff and Ra.. we have plenty of cap (with the rollover) to add a starting safety, edge, WLB and rotational DT… retain Maddox, Rock, Raymond, Lopez/Reader (one will be cheap)
This roster with a stud OT, edge and some depth pieces in the draft let bring it back next year with a much better roster than this year and Goff wil again be a top 5 MVP candidate- not part of the problem

Stafford feasted on 2-yd TD passes. Not only those, of course, but, relative to Maye…

But that does not fit my Maye narrative. Stafford can’t leave here and become MVP, its just not right.
LOL - pick the one stat out of 14…thats not cherry picking.
One played a cupcake schedule while the other played one of the toughest schedules in the league.
Maye had a very good season, Stafford had a better one. First time in a while that I could remember that there’s a clear cut MVP, partly because the field was incredibly weak this year. Besides Stafford and Maye, I can’t think of one stand out player worthy of MVP votes. Maybe Darnold or JSN?
