The MVP picture is starting to take shape with a handful of quarterbacks, most of them unexpected candidates, right at the center of this thing. As I wrote in this week’s Target and Snap Report, Tom Brady is going to render the MVP debate moot if he continues making the league his own personal plaything, but the group of quarterbacks he will shunt into the “others receiving votes” category still deserve our adulation. For me, that discussion has to begin with Derek Carr.
Carr is in the midst of a breakout season, highlighted by the 513-yard, four-touchdown show he put on in an overtime win over the Buccaneers last week.
