I think that Williams, Peppers, or Delhomme all make strong cases. The point for me would be which one of the 3 could we have done without and still be close to where we are. Could Stewart have come in if Williams were hurt and made up the difference? Could our linemen have made up for Peppers if he wasn't here. Could Moore or McCown have come in and replaced Jake.

Who is the biggest contributor to turning around last year's 7-9 and this year's 11-4?

Using that logic you would go with Peppers or Delhomme who were non existent last year and both game changers this year.

On the other hand Wiliiams is having the best year of any running back in our franchise history.

Tough choice and several are surely deserving.

Yes he has. MVP is the most valuable player, not the best player.

Deangelo is great, but also has a solid backup. Jake is just good, but there would be a larger dropoff than with Deangelo.

I tend to think as you do. Scary I know! But to me MVP is who is the most irreplaceable guy. In that scenario it would be Jake or Peppers both of whom we couldn't do without on their side of the ball.

That's a valid point, however we are a running team. The most important cog in a running team is the running back. I think Stewart probably would have stepped in and done a good job, but you can't argue with Deangelo's accomplishments thus far this season.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
