In this story:


Although Brock Purdy technically didn't receive any MVP votes last season, he still was an MVP finalist, which is impressive.

This year, oddsmakers seem less confident in Purdy, considering he is tied for the eighth-best odds to win the MVP Award next season, according to BetUS.

Here's the leaderboard.

1. Patrick Mahomes: +700

2. Josh Allen: +800

3. Joe Burrow: +800

4. Lamar Jackson: +1000

5. C.J. Stroud: +1200

6. Jordan Love: +1200

7. Justin Herbert: +1200

8. Dak Prescott: +1400

9. Jalen Hurts: +1400

10. Brock Purdy: +1400

This leaderboard is fascinating because it seems to be how oddsmakers would rank the quarterbacks in the NFL -- it's more than just an MVP projection. And it's clear that Stroud and Love are seen as two young quarterbacks who will assert themselves as two of the elites next season, while Purdy is seen as a young quarterback who will regress and fall back to Earth like Jalen Hurts.

It certainly is possible that Purdy could regress next season -- he has thrown an inordinate number of passes that should have been intercepted but were dropped so far in his young career.

But as long as Purdy stays healthy, earns $900,000 per season and plays for this team, he should be in the MVP discussion. He's too good and the team's too good for him to not be an MVP finalist again next season. Which means his MVP odds probably never will be lower than they are right now.

I'm just saying.
