To me, its a two person race up to this point.
Tom Brady and Russell Wilson. You can def make the case that Seattle would be much worse without Wilson than NE would be without Brady. Seattle might have 2 wins with an average QB, specifically one without escapability.
You can make the case for Antonio Brown who is on pace for 117 catches, 1700 yards and 12 TD's, but in a season with 2 quality QB candidates and no RB candidates, it's doubtful.
When watching the football shows, they all put Brees in the mix, but I don't even think he's the MVP on his team. That running game is unstoppable and it makes his job so easy. He's only been asked to go out and win 1 game. That running game is legit.
That said, I don’t see how it’s not Brady right now
Is it bias or maybe just an oversight.
Wentz is in the discussion. He's been great, but he has so much more than the other two guys around him.
Wilson has played good but so has Goff, Brees and Wentz who all have better records as of now and IMO have played better than Wilson. I like Wilson's ability to give you that splash play when he extends a play that is broken but I don't think he is the MVP, that defense in Seattle determines how far that team goes, not Wilson.... IMO.
I think it's still to be determined......let's see how the teams do down the stretch.
Currently, Wentz has to be the leader though. He is doing phenomenal things in Philly, as much as it pains me to say. They have played a VERY soft schedule though of late. We will see if they bounce back this week against a tough Rams team.
He's something like 90% of their offense and accounted for every TD except one. Their oline is putrid, his RBs are average, his WRs are average, and their TEs are above average.
He's the most unique player in the NFL and drives defenses completely crazy.
Unsung guys who deserve mention: Case Keenan and Philip Rivers
That isn’t to take away from Brady, I just don’t buy this notion that no one is around him. Wilson has infinitely less to work with.

That's correct.
And Wentz should be in the mix.

He does not have more than Brady. Brady's supporting cast is at least as good as Wentz's, if not better.
Hits like crazy.kid has got stamina that’s for sure .
Graham is a mismatch beast and they are using him right this year.
Baldwin is one of the toughest covers in the league.
Richardson is super athletic.
McKissic is a nice mismatch out of the backfield. Did you see his TD this week? He got wide open.
He's got some options and mismatches to exploit with this crew.

Tarkenton had 18 seasons. I'll give Wilson 10-12.
