Cam Newton is the favorite to repeat this season. Luke Kuechly is listed at 250:1.

Quote
Carson Palmer and Tom Brady, who were the only players other than Newton to receive MVP votes are listed at 14:1 and 15:1 odds, respectfully

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton finished the 2015 regular season with a league-leading 45 total touchdowns, becoming the first player in NFL history to account for at least 30 passing TDs and 10 rushing TDs in a single season. The stats and the Panthers' 15-1 record earned Newton the league MVP award, but will the QB be able to repeat in 2016? 

According to one sportsbook, Newton is a 7:2 favorite to win the league MVP this season, ahead of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (4:1), who won the award in 2011.  

Carson Palmer and Tom Brady, who were the only players other than Newton to receive MVP votes in February, are listed at 14:1 and 15:1 odds, respectfully. 

Looking for a longshot? Look no further than a QB that has taken plenty of shots this offseason — Johnny Manziel, who is currently unemployed and is listed at 5,000:1.

The team odds of 8:1-14:1 or thereabouts to win it all is a better play.  We will not be denied as a team this year.  Cam is/will be the GOAT, but this year they'll find a reason to give MVP to someone else if even remotely possible and KB is going to be such a freak they'll grade on a curve.  We will also play winning, not necessarily stat padding football, and while our schedule IS easier than last year due to opponent QBs, we will play tougher defenses.

Cam forced the hands of voters last year. Best believe many voters were gritting their teeth casting their vote. One slip up and Brady or Palmer would have taken it.

Agreed.

Just look at the 2 morons who didn't vote for him.

JJ Watt and Antonio Brown at 100-1? I'd take that bet.

Probably just be throwing money away.  The last defensive player to 1in the MVP was LT and that was 30 years ago in 1986.  Before then?  1971.  That concludes the list of defensive players to win the MVP.  A WR has never won the MVP.

In fact, LT was the last guy to win the MVP who wasn't a QB or RB.  30 straight years of QBs and RBs with the list skewing heavily to QB.

The smart money is on a QB.  If you're gonna bet on a non-QB, pick a RB.

That is my biggest peeve with the whole MVP award, its not even who is most valuable player to their team, it's who's the best offensive player.  That already has its own award.

However, if it's the most valuable player to the league, then yeah, its always gonna be a QB or RB.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
