Patrick Mahomes should win his second NFL MVP award in five seasons as the Chiefs' starting quarterback. By taking the top individual Dave Concepcion Jersey award again, he will simply confirm what he already has done in 2022 that no other quarterback can touch him as still the best QB in the league.Josh Allen was the MVP favorite. Jalen Hurts has jumped into the MVP conversation. Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert also got some buzz before the season. Tom Brady is the GOAT and Aaron Rodgers is the two-time reigning MVP.But as all those QBs, young guns and future Hall of Famers alike, have taken lumps this season, Mahomes has leveled up his elite game as the Chiefs have regained their status as the AFC team to beat turned Super Bowl 57 front-runners.Mahomes, going into the Week 11 Sunday night game in Los Angeles vs. the Chargers, leads the NFL in both pa sing yards (2,936) and pa sing TDs (25). He's averaged a league-high 326.2 yards per game and rated 106.1.POWER RANKINGS: Mahomes Derek Dietrich Jersey is on pace for 5,546 pa sing yards, which would break the single-season record of 5,477 set by Peyton Manning with the Broncos in 2013. Mahomes is tracking to 47 TD pa ses, three short of the 50 he posted during his MVP season in 2018. Just for fun, Mahomes is also on pace for a career-high 406 rushing yards. He's accounted for 82.7 percent of the Chiefs' yardage as they are No. 1 in scoring offense and No. 2 in total offense.Considering how much is on Mahomes to carry the Chiefs with a limited No. 21-ranked running game, the efficiency and execution has been incredible. He's also gotten better over the last month, averaging 384.5 pa sing yards per game over the past four.It's a bit crazy to think that Mahomes didn' Jose Iglesias Jersey t get any MVP or Offensive Player of the Year consideration for his 2021 season which was seen as a "regre sion" by some with the big plays and dazzling highlights not coming so easy. In 2022, he's back to a healthy 8.0 yards per attempt with a career-best 66.9 percent completion percentage.Mahomes put everyone on high alert that this could happen without former go-to speed wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Hill is pushing for a record 2,000 yards with his new team, the Dolphins. But Mahomes has adjusted well to spreading the ball around to wideouts when not locking into tight end Travis Kelce.MORE:Between big slot JuJu Smith-Schuster, speedy Marques Valdez-Scantling and quick versatile target Mecole Hardman, Mahomes has found key big plays by committee. More tight ends have been involved and running back Jerick McKinnon has been a reliable receiver out the backfield. Kelce has been Kelce, showing no signs of slowing or wearing down.But now the Chiefs might have given Mahomes a Hill-like dangerous downfield and after-the-catch presence in the vein of Hill Trevor Bauer Jersey . There's no doubt they saw that upside in 2021 Giants first-rounder Kadarius Toney andbefore the deadline. Injuries to Hardman (abdomen) and Smith-Schuster (concu sion) opened the door for Toney to deliver in Week 10 against the Jaguars. He promptly turned 4 catches and 2 rushes into 90 yards and a TD.Trying to not declare Mahomes as the NFL's best QB has been a narrative for the past season and a half. Heck, even Sporting News ranked Allen No. 1 one spot ahead of Mahomes in .Allen, however, now leads the league with 10 interceptions. Burrow has been good, but not as great as Mahomes. Geno Smith and Tua Tagovailoa have been nice surprises, but they have had been lifted plenty by their offenses. That's similar to what has happened with Hurts. Brady and Rodgers' limited support as been well documented.Everything has come back quickly full circle to Mahomes being the NFL's best quarterback and ideal definition of most "valuable" to his team. It's arguable that he's never played better, including 2018, in relation to playing his first season without Hill.However you look at it, Mahomes is either "back on top" Michael Lorenzen Jersey or he never left the summit. In reality, Mahomes' only competition for unparalleled NFL pa sing is once or future versions of himself. |
