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.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      Wilks is a nobody in the grand scheme of things.  He is right back out of the NFL, exactly where he was before Carolina dragged him back to the NFL.  I don't see what he has to be pissed or salty about. He got a shot with 2 teams and was just a average coach as he has always been.  He is a lesser Fox/Rivera

      Chris Long: Bryce Young Went Toe To Toe With Patrick Mahomes

      The way BY must play quarterback has a much higher degree of difficulty.  Coupled with his physical limitations his margin for error is small.    The guy evading the blitz and dropping a dime deep over double coverage is more exciting then a wobbling ball thrown into the blitz with good enough placement that gets 6 yards on a 3rd and 5.  It's been beat to death that he will never be the first guy.  He was the second guy vs the Chiefs.    The second guy is harder to do because it's mostly mental:  reading, reacting and processing the correct solution that the defense provided within a second or two.    It's harder to see on film, it's harder to evaluate.  That's why I think there's a divergence between fans yelling "noodle armed middle schooler!!" and analysts going "hold up, let's not write him off yet"    I personally need to see the Chiefs game be the start of growth before getting hopeful.  Ideally would like to see 1-2 300yd multi td games.  Then I'd expect the entire off season to fix his footwork.  With his physical limitations that footwork needs to be damn near perfect.  I would still bring in competition at the QB spot even in that scenario.
