Daily News | Eagles stats: Jalen Hurts’ MVP case compared to Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Cam Newton’s magical seasons
Standing at the podium at MetLife Stadium, Jalen Hurts conceded something he seldom does.
“There was a point in time where people said I couldn’t throw the deep ball, let alone throw it 5 yards,” Hurts said. “ ... I carry my scars on me everywhere I go. I don’t forget. Do I waste my energy worrying about the opinion of someone else, the opinion of a sheep? No. I truly invest my focus in getting better as a player, getting better as a quarterback.
MVP winners typically have a blend of gaudy statistics, viral highlight plays, and a supporting narrative that is either year-over-year progress or team success. Jackson’s 1,206 rushing yards and the flair with which he got them was a major part of his campaign along with the progress he made as a passer.
Newton’s total touchdowns edge out Hurts’ projected 42 with an extra game, but Hurts’ turnover differential will once again be superior. Hurts has sizable advantages in total yardage, QBR, and completion percentage as well. What will be interesting, though, is how close Mahomes may get to his previous MVP numbers this season. He’s on pace for 46 total touchdowns, more than 5,000 passing yards, and has an EPA/dropback over 0.32. There have been nine quarterbacks to surpass 0.30 EPA/play since 2007, according to The Athletic. Five of them won MVP.
