Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1421: A Rival

He runs the ball well. He leads the league in running yards, running touchdowns, average yards per carry, and number of fumbles. He is undoubtedly the best player in the league.

He can catch the ball, and his receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, and average yards per carry are all among the best in the league. He is not inferior to the top wide receivers.

Although it is very regrettable that he was not able to refresh the historical record of rushing yards, just like Peterson in the 2012 season, but considering that passing is king in the league now, and considering the data of receiving yards, everything is not a problem. This is a comprehensive improvement that keeps pace with the times.

So, is such a player qualified to compete with Lamar Jackson?

Of course, 100 percent, and the outcome is unpredictable, even the most quarterback-biased professionals cannot easily say that Jackson can win.

This is Levi!

The number one player in the league today.

Following his continued high-energy performance in the 2017 and 2018 seasons, Levi once again shocked the league with his fierce performance. Not only did he have strong output for three consecutive years, but he also surpassed the previous two years to achieve the best record in his career, silencing all negative voices.

Looking back at the 2019 offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs and Levi signed a historic blockbuster contract. The entire league took a breath, and voices of hesitation and indecision were heard inside and outside. It was more of a questioning of the value of the running back position than a questioning of Levi.

In a blink of an eye, the season is coming to an end. Looking back at that contract now, the entire league gave a thumbs up in unison, and everyone praised Veach for his vision, courage and wisdom. Because of the outstanding 2019 season, and because of such a season, if the Kansas City Chiefs negotiate a contract with Levi again in the next offseason, then the numbers that people were amazed at before may not be enough, and they must cut flesh and bleed.

Indeed, far-sightedness and foresight!

For three seasons, the concerns of "a broken Zhongyong", "a one-hit wonder" and "a shooting star" have always surrounded Levi's head. People's stereotypes about running backs are lingering, and the hustle and bustle of the world is endless. People are worried that Levi may be forgotten by the crowd at any time.

To this, Levi never responded, nor did he fight back.

Everything speaks through actions.

Facts have proved that Levi did not disappear in a flash or fall from grace. He continued to refresh his presence with incredible performances. Based on the jaw-dropping performances in the first two seasons, he continued to refresh his personal career best in his third year.

This was not just a dominant performance, but one that would go down in history.

When people lament that McCaffrey and Thomas broke the stereotypes in their respective positions, Levi, like Jackson, subverted all cognitions.

Is Levi like this qualified?

Therefore, if Gilmore wants to compete for the regular season MVP and defensive players want to make a name for themselves, the 2019 season is obviously not the most suitable time.

The same goes for McCaffrey and Thomas.

All eyes were focused on Levi and Jackson. The battle between the two was definitely the focus of the entire season. It was precisely because of this that when the Houston Texans unexpectedly swept the Baltimore Ravens, they suffered such a fierce backlash.

So, between Levi and Jackson, who deserves the regular season MVP title?

In terms of data, the two players are evenly matched; but in terms of probability, Jackson has the upper hand.

The reason is simple and intuitive——

The last time someone won consecutive regular season MVP titles was exactly ten years ago, when Peyton Manning won the title in 2008 and 2009.

After the league entered the passing era, the quarterback is undoubtedly the most worthy favorite for the regular season MVP. It is conceivable how difficult it is for players in other positions to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth. It is difficult enough once, and to accomplish such a feat for two consecutive years is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.

The last time a non-quarterback won the regular season MVP for two consecutive years was in the 2005 and 2006 seasons, when Seattle Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander and San Diego Chargers running back Tomlinson won the trophy respectively, leaving their names in the history books.

So, what about the other players in NFL history who have won back-to-back regular season MVP awards? After all, it is already very difficult for a running back to have a top performance in one season, and it is almost impossible to deliver a perfect performance for two consecutive seasons to conquer the league professionals, in any era, even in the era of running half a century ago.

The answer is Jim Brown, the Cleveland Browns' running back who won the regular season MVP in 1957 and 1958.

That was the first and second regular season MVP selections, and it has been exactly seventy years since then.

The situation is clear at a glance.

It is true that Levi performed well, very, very well; but he already won the regular season MVP last season, and this year it should be Jackson's turn.

Because quarterbacks are more valuable than running backs, because the league hopes to get the passing era that has gone off track back on track, and because Jackson's 2019 season was truly incredible and deserves praise.

When the regular season came to an end, it was no surprise that Jackson was far ahead in the regular season MVP race.

Everything is understandable.

However, Levi still has a killer weapon——

Pass the ball.

He completed 100 of passes, with a % pass success rate, and also scored four touchdown passes.

alliance:……

The social network was even more shocked.

"Calling Area 51, calling Area 51, there is an alien here."

"Just when everyone thought that Levi had reached his limit, Levi stood quietly by but smiled and said: Look, a bunch of fools."

"Professor, it really is a professor!"

Admiration, shock, screaming.

The hustle and bustle filled the entire online platform, and even the professionals were speechless. Levi like this reminded people of JJ Watt in his prime.

As a running back, he can run, catch, break blocks, cover, and pass the ball. He is no longer just a role, but is equivalent to the existence of a second quarterback.

It is even equivalent to the team's second brain, complementing the head coach and acting as a tactical brain that operates at high speed at any time on the court.

Before McCaffrey, Levi had already emerged. Even McCaffrey himself said that all his inspiration came from Levi and he took Levi as his role model.

Before Jackson, Levi had taken the lead. As a running back, he opened up a new path and made the entire league realize that the tactical cornerstone of the offensive team was full of countless possibilities. Thanks to Levi's presence, the coaching staff led by Reid opened up a new space for the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive team.

Cheating Motion, modern outside zone offense system, read option offense, no-huddle offense, etc., are all just forms of expression. The real core is "Chief Special", which forms a new tactical system with Levi as the core, subverting the league's imagination inside and out.

Subvert the rules, subvert the pattern, subvert the routine.

Can Levi, like this, compete with Lamar Jackson and continue to make history?
