If a couple QB's drop out of the Pro Bowl maybe gets in as replacement, but that is long shot as the votes will come in before the end of a possible playoff push and he is like 5-7th in counting stats for AFC QB's.

To me if what I said above came true, he should in my eyes be a heavy contender. What's more impressive, Jalen Hurts guiding an all star team in Philly to the playoffs and a nice record or Trevor taking a young team coming off a horrible season into the playoffs. 

Keep in mind, if he averaged 3 TDs a game the rest of the season he'd be at 33 TD and likely less than 10 ints. That's a pretty damn good stat line.

But you have to remember we view this all with teal colored glasses. 

If Lawrence wasn't as streaky bad in Oct, especially after the Chargers win, maybe the narrative and story would have been better covered all season by writers and national media. Maybe one of the prior games gets flexed to national limelight. 

Problem is that too much of the national media don't look beyond the base stats and records. They generally view the AFC South at bleh as well and coming back to win it isn't that great of an accomplishment.

MVP is all about narrative, story and convincing the media. For example, you could argue the same thing about Burrow who went to the SB, and has a bit more cache with the national media. He and the Bengals started the season off slow, but have turned the corner again in the past few weeks. Yet, he is no where close to a MVP contender right now between Mahomes and Hurts.

Consolation. I definitely think he would have an argument for Player of the Month for Dec if he keeps it up.
