76% completion percentage with
29 TD but only 2 INT. He's also got three rushing TD's (tied for fourth with Roethlisberger and Trubisky behind Prescott, Newton, and Allen), which is a pretty big deal given that he's a traditional pocket passer. His passing yards lag behind Mahomes, Goff, and Rivers, but he's still getting 8.8 ypa. His high production and incredible, mistake-free play makes it hard to build a case for why he shouldn't be considered the best QB in the league this year. So if the MVP goes to a QB, it's pretty much gotta be him.
I love Goff as much as anyone here, but Brees is having a better year. And that's not a put-down of Goff it's an amazing thing to be able to say about Brees.
Of course, all that could change over the next four weeks. But I kind of doubt it will change significantly enough.
