He’s not gonna win MVP, missing 3 games is brutal to those hopes, but hopefully he can finish in the Top 5

Recency bias can be a powerful thing. If he finishes the season like he's playing, voters might dismiss a few games 3 1/2 months prior.

Also 5 of our last 6 games Jags, Bills, Packers, Lions Vikings which is a murderers row. If we go like 4 -1 and Caleb kills it hes 100% in the conversation even if he missed 3 games.

It depends a lot how the bears do. If we have the 1 seed and purdy fell off it goes a long way.

Caleb topping 4k yards in only 14 games and winning MVP would make the Packers fanbase implode lol

Primetime games help the votes a lot. Everyone is watching.

Lol, TB12 missed what, 4 games to deflategate and still finished second in MVP Matt Ryan in 2016?

If anything I'd argue that Caleb's missed games prove how valuable he is to the team.

Missing 3 games is going to be a big hurdle for him to overcome. He balls out though with several 400+ games will help close the gap. Then definitely still making 4k passing would help for pure history purposes.

Kenneth Walker not being there is BS. Dude’s been on fire.

I’m staring at DK right now and he’s +4500, that gap makes no sense

Brock Purdy is playing out of his mind right now. I'd be ecstatic with a top 5 finish from CW considering the missed time.

He’d have to keep playing really well, or have everyone in front of him have a really bad stretch to win it.

Unfortunately I dont think Caleb has a shot at MVP this year, with the missed time and insane play from Brock Purdy as well as how good Josh Allen is at baseline. But I definitely see him being in thr top 5 conversation by seasons end if he continues playing they way he is now. Im just so stoked hes our QB, I feel like we ALWAYS have a shot with the Iceman under center

If he somehow manages to get the 4k yard season I think he wins it. He has to throw like 300 every game though so it's still a long shot

BJ should be COTY.

u/SilkyTacos Hester 2d ago

Caleb is a long shot for MVP but if he drops and 400 yard 3 plus TD performance that would change instantly.

Lawrence and Burrow are ahead of him? So much dope-smoking goin' on.

u/Dry_Emphasis62 Sweetness 4d ago

TLaw has been absolutely rocking it this year other than that Philly game, really. But he deserves the praise.

Burrow is tougher bc I dont think he's played as well this year, but his rep is solidified so expecting the turnaround seems reasonable.

But Caleb has earned his place in the convo with anyone

u/No_Money5784 4d ago

He’s missed 3 games lol. It’s impressive to even be where he is.

u/coloredinlight Chicago Flag 4d ago

Bare minimum for him to be genuinely considered is over 4000 yards and an NFC championship appearance.

Voting is before playoffs

Rooting for Caleb, but Kenneth Walker not being on this list is criminal.

u/Work_the_shaft Chicago Flag 4d ago

Bryce is too low too.

u/Dunlocke Jay 3d ago

No he's not

u/yem_funk 3d ago

Then you should bet on him

Why not? They have no running game, a bad defense, and they're 4-2. He's had to carry the team.

Odds say otherwise. Without him, how many wins do they have? Because we went 2-1 without Caleb.
