There’s a reason Gus has 12 TDs.
Lamar could easily have 5 -7 more rushing TDs if they wanted but I don’t think 1 yard sneaks vs letting your RB punch it in really changes your value (unless your the Eagles who seems more concerned with rush pushes then winning games or giving the odd TD to the workhorse RBs)
It’s a weird season in that I agree Lamar hasn’t had to be amazing - just good in big situations . But his offense has lost their best player (Andrews) and 2 RBs and continues to hum along like nothing has changed - and there is a reason for that
I would be fine seeing CMC win it (I would even vote for him) but voters don’t vote for RBs unless they have all world seasons (which he isn’t - it’s a great year but not historic) AND the 49ers just lost to the Ravens on National TV / Game of the Year and while CMC was very good , he wasn’t amazing
If Lamar beats Miami next week I don’t seen any way Tua or Hill gets it , which means MVP would then come down to Allen who on the whole has played worse then Lamar - or the NFC QBs which continue to get embarrassed on National TV
If Miami beats Baltimore it opens all sorts of opportunities

The tush push isn’t a pad the stats play. It’s a play they use because it works 95%+ of the time.
