The fact that quarterback Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers did not win MVP is hardly shocking. But considering that he ended the season as one of the NFL’s best prime passers, it is surprising that he didn’t even garner a vote for second or third place.

Jordan Love Finished Second in the League in Passing TDs

 

With 32 passing touchdowns at the end of the season, Jordan Love is just four touchdowns behind the leader, Dak Prescott. Still, Prescott did garner MVP votes.

This season, Ceedee Lamb and Jake Ferguson were the two pro-bow pass catchers for the Dallas Cowboys offense.

With no true top receiver in the offense, Jordan Love oversaw the youngest team in the league. Love contributed to the Packers’ unexpectedly good record this season. It looks like a grave error to not garner a single vote.

Loves Value to the Packers is Unmatched in the NFL

Although it is now clear that the quarterback is the most crucial position, this season demonstrated the ability of backup quarterbacks to contribute to their teams. Super gifted players are the foundation of some very good attacks in the NFL. Lamar Jackson was aided by the best rush assault in the league. To shield him, Brock Purdy has two elite receivers, a superb tight end, the finest running back, and an outstanding offensive line.

The backup quarterbacks could be able to help the team win more football games if you take them out of those lineups.

They obviously didn’t help the club win games to the same extent that the starters did, but nonetheless. Josh Allen, Jordan Love, and Patrick Mahomes may all be argued to be the NFL’s most useful players for their respective teams this season. What would the Packers’ record be if Jordan Love sustained an injury this season? They most likely would have had a top-10 NFL draft pick in the end.

Love ought to have gotten a few MVP votes, at the very least.

It’s difficult to comprehend that Love didn’t even garner an MVP vote when you look at the list of players who received first, second, and third place votes. The votes for MVP went to CJ Stroud, Matthew Stafford, and Myles Garrett, who are listed at the bottom of the list.

Based on the statistical data, Jordan Love outperformed the other three players. Myles Garrett is difficult to compare against, but it’s difficult to understand the other two vote-getters. Although Stroud and Stafford performed admirably this season, could they surpass Jordan Love? It doesn’t appear to be. Perhaps voters were not drawn to Jordan’s narrative since it was voted on by the media.

Jordan Love has another chance to earn MVP the following year. He could go from good to great with a potential new offensive scheme and another season under his belt. I hope everyone else in the league notices.
