"Both the Rams and Patriots are likely going to be at or near the top of their respective conferences, so both of them have their total team success working in their favor. Every statistical edge might be enough to swing the debate one way or another. Stafford will have the edge (in all likelihood) in touchdown passes, TD/INT ratio, and his pedigree. Maye is likely going to beat him out in passer rating, completion percentage, and yards per attempt, even if he is a bit more turnover prone than No. 9 is."
"If the same guiding philosophy that helped Josh Allen win last year's MVP over Lamar Jackson despite a generally inferior statistical profile holds true once again, Maye might be able to get an extra boost by playing on a roster that just about everyone would agree is far inferior to what the Rams have. Stafford has since rebounded with another touchdown pass"
Drake Maye has emerged as an MVP contender as New England supporters emphasize his strong underlying metrics and team success. Matthew Stafford entered Week 13 with a dominant touchdown-to-interception profile but threw two interceptions, including a pick-six, which tightened the turnover gap between the quarterbacks. Both the Rams and Patriots project to be near the top of their conferences, lending team-success weight to each candidate. Stafford likely leads in touchdown totals, TD/INT ratio, and pedigree, while Maye likely leads in passer rating, completion percentage, and yards per attempt despite being more turnover prone. Historical voting patterns could favor a quarterback on a lesser roster.
