If you combine his passing and rushing yards he's still closer to Alex Smith than Brady/Palmer. You are also underselling the entire team. Until his injury Stewart was racking up tons of yards for that team (he was top 3 in the NFL I believe). You also have to factor in the Panthers laughably easy schedule this season too. The fact is Newton did have a career season, however there are still at least 3-4 QBs who definitively had better seasons. That doesn't even touch clearly superior players at other positions such as AP or Antonio Brown. The fact of the matter is Newton would be one of the weakest MVP winners ever and if his team didn't start 14-0 nobody would even think of mentioning him as an MVP.

I think it's absurd that Palmer isn't getting more love here (and in general). His consistency has been remarkable, and Arizona may even finish ahead of Carolina this year. If you start delving into the advanced passing statistics, Palmer actually comes out quite far ahead of every QB in the league, and that's running a difficult vertical offense.

Lets not forget his top defence that features the best LB in the league and DPOY candidate. Or the fact that they've beaten maybe two teams over .500 (at the time of the win). Or the joke of a division they play in.
Kirk Cousins
Obviously kidding

NFC South
NFC East
AFC South
NFC North a lot of people will tell you contains zero actual good teams
That's half the league at least that kinda sucks. Before even thinking about the crappy teams in the "good" divisions. Panthers can't be the only beneficiary here.

Palmer took himself out of whatever mvp chances he had today.

Sealed it long before last night IMO.LOL. You guys are still going? Cam sealed it last night
By playing half a game in what turned out to be a meaningless game?
It wasn't meaningless when it started. It became meaningless when Cam and the Panthers showed up and Palmer and the Cards didn't.Thats just ridiculous to say. You really think voters care about a meaningless game?
