Yeah but what about Hebert? If the Chargers secure a playoff spot he will easily assume Allen's place as the favorite. Also there's a pocket of media that's been pumping Russell Wilson's tires for MVP for a long time. If the Broncos have a good season and he puts up big numbers I have a hard time seeing voters pick Cousins over him.
