NFL Thoughts After Week 7

Some NFL thoughts I have after Week 7:        


-Kyle Shanahan should be the favorite for Coach of the Year. Getting this team to 5-2 with the number of injuries they've had is incredible.


-The Vikings choosing to go with McCarthey/Wentz over Sam Darnold is a decision that can haunt a franchise for a decade or more. Darnold is playing at an MVP level.


-Matthew Stafford is playing some of the best football he's ever played. 1st ballot Hall of Famer.


-The Patriots have a legitimate chance to get the #1 seed based on their remaining strength of schedule. Maye is a very live MVP candidate.


-Despite blowing that game, the Giants have something with Dart. Clear favorite for Offensive Rookie of the Year at this point.


-If the Cowboys can get ANY help in their secondary, they are a playoff team who can outscore anybody.


-The Browns trading Flacco within the division is malpractice.


-The Jets & Dolphins should keep everything in place as is. It's about getting the #1 pick at this point, drafting a franchise QB & rebuilding.


-The Commanders have problems. Bottom 5 defense & QB and WR injuries. Lost season.


-MVP Vote as of now: 1) Mahomes 2) Stafford 3) Maye
