Thursday is MVP! Who says new season, necessarily means the return of the weekly Top 5 of the most outstanding candidates for the supreme individual title.
Given the level displayed both last season and this first week by Lamar Jackson as well as the offensive power of the Ravens, it is difficult not to imagine being able to win a second consecutive title. This back-to-back, which would be historic in the NFL today, has yet been achieved by four players since the title began to be awarded in 1957.
Jim Brown, pioneer across the board
The first to have achieved the improbable double is also the first MVP in history, since it is Jim Brown who is crowned in 1957 before giving it back in 1958. The eternal fullback of the Browns is also the only player of the list not to be quarterback. Another era.
Joe Montana, thirty years later
To review such a performance, it will be more than three decades until Joe Montana proves that it was still possible in 1989 and 1990. Considered by many to be the best quarterback in history to this day, the legend of the 49ers and his best asset, wide receiver Jerry Rice, dominated the NFL for over a decade. While bringing home four Super Bowls, all won in San Francisco.
Brett Favre, a head above the others
In this type of statistic in particular, Brett Favre stands out clearly by being the only player in history to have achieved the immense performance of being elected MVP three times consecutively in 1995, 1996 and 1997. Three seasons during which the quarterback will take his Packers to two Super Bowls, including one won.
Peyton Manning en double-double
If Brett Favre has been able to become MVP three times in a row, Peyton Manning, he has squarely managed the “back-to-back” twice. First elected in 2003 (tied with Steve McNair) then in 2004, the Colts star will do it again in 2008 and 2009. Unfortunately for him, none of these MVP titles will be accompanied by a Super Bowl victory fueling his reputation. regular season player.
Lamar Jackson will he be the fifth man on this list? If the season is still very young, the Ravens quarterback has in any case all the guarantees, both personal and collective, to make it a goal.
Classification
At the moment, there is a man who seems to stand more than ever between Jackson and a double. Russell Wilson was amazing on his first outing. In the victory against the Falcons, his coaches gave him the keys to the attack. He responded brilliantly. But also watch out for Aaron Rodgers. His connection with Davante Adams has done wonders against the Vikings and could carry him very far.
