Over the next two weeks, the debate about which of Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson deserves to be named the MVP of the 2024 season will be the key storyline. Unlike in previous years, there's no clear answer as to which player should win the award, sparking a healthy dose of debate.
There are good arguments for both sides, but Richard Sherman feels like there's no doubt about who really should win the award. Using Allen's exhibition against the New England Patriots, the former Seahawks cornerback stated that Lamar should be the MVP for the third time:
This was a game Josh Allen needed to be Josh Allen, and he wasn't. And his defense stepped up enough, and made enough plays to help him get the win. Games like this happen. And when they happen, you question it through. 154 yards this game, a touchdown and an interception. Ran it for 28 yards. You keep saying he has no help behind him, and then you look up. and [James] Cook is having 100-yard games after 100-yard games. And you're like "wait a minute, is it no help or is it help?" MVPs are won in December. I don't think a quarterback has had 35 plus touchdowns and under five interceptions thrown on the season like Lamar Jackson has and not won it.
