For anyone wondering if Jonathan Taylor can win NFL MVP this year, I wrote about RBs and MVPs last year for @optaanalystus.optajoe.com within the context of Saquon: theanalyst.com/articles/saq...

Unless it’s Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry or Josh Jacobs, don’t pay a lot for a free agent RB. From @optaanalystus.optajoe.com:

Well, that's also indicative of why the Eagles (and, by extension, Hurts) have still been successful in the playoffs. But when you isolate Hurts' performances, his numbers relative to his regular season play are pretty middling apart from the '22 divisional round and the '22 Super Bowl.

For reference, I looked at two stats — Pickable Pass Rate & Offensive Success Rate — for QBs with at least 1 playoff win over at least 3 playoff starts. And then found the differential between playoffs and regular season ⤵️ @optaanalystus.optajoe.com
