The NFL MVP race has been a fun one to watch. As we enter Week 15, there are two solid favorites that may be poised to run away with the competition in San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Then, there are other deserving players that many believe should have better odds such as 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey or Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
Since the 49ers have two legitimate MVP candidates in Purdy and McCaffrey, head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked this week how to decipher between the two as MVP with them on the same team.
“I mean, are you trying to get me in trouble with those two guys?” Shanahan said, via NFL.com. “That’s the only reason I wouldn’t overly comment on either one of them because I don’t want them to cancel each other out.”
While Purdy is currently one of the heavy favorites to win MVP since he’s a quarterback, Shanahan did say the award should go to McCaffrey if it goes to a non-QB.
“If any non-quarterback’s going to get a MVP, I don’t get how Christian McCaffrey can’t,” Shanahan said. “I mean, he’s amazing in what he has done all year. If it’s going to a quarterback, then I don’t have to talk about Christian. I can talk about our quarterback. If his numbers is all you see, then I think that solves it up. But, if you watch the film, then it makes it even stronger, which to me is the most important thing.”
