Still give it to Lamar. The defense is carrying the Chiefs and relying on the run game a lot more. I actually think Mahomes has been great regardless of the narrative that he hasn't been good this year. But at a certain point the offense has to produce A LOT more regardless of team record for me to rank him high in the MVP race. I'd never give it to a souped up game manager which is what he's been this year.
There is no narrative, only facts. Saying a QB who has 8 TDs and 9 INTs in week 9 is great is just some blind homer shyt. Its not hard to criticize your own QB. Mahomes has not been great and definitely not up to his usual standards.

at least u admit to your D carrying the team unlike most the coli who think Mahomes is playing great and the reason they are 7-0.

4 or 5 of those interceptions or tipped/dropped balls or a blatant miscommunication with the WR. He's been making a couple crazy plays a game to keep the offense moving. His job is to win the games not pad the stat sheet.

The Chiefs have been moving the ball up and down the field and have one of the most efficient offenses in the league. They are 6th in the league in scoring percentage. His TD numbers are low because they running the ball more than ever at the goalline so not padding TD numbers. Also they've been leading pretty much every game so they've been in run heavy mode which again leads to much lower passing yards.

So yes he's been great. Anytime the team is desperate for a score they get one. Y'all too quick to look at a box score and say if somebody was good or not. And I was openly saying Mahomes was not looking good after the first two games maybe three but since he's tightened up and been a beast.

Ok take away those ints. 8 tds in 9 weeks is horrid. Especially for Mahomes. If yall marching up and down the field then why is his passing yards low as well?
I aint seen a bigger cap for a QB

Lions being undefeated without Hutch was not on my bingo list. I'm not going to call them the best team in the NFL because KC (who looks meh) are still unbeaten somehow. But they're at least #2.

They're two horrible calls and toe away from 4-3. I can't even call it luck that a ref watches your lineman choke a defender in front of him or your DB tackle a guy going for the ball or the questionable roughing the passer to keep the drive alive. I will say this though they have the best coaching in the league and that keeps them in every game.
