Kyle Shanahan believes the 49ers have two MVP candidates The Comeback: Today’s Best Sports Stories and Reactions andquot;I don’t want them to cancel each other out andquot; 49ers By Stan Szeto-USA TODAY Sports San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan hasn’t been too active in publicly rooting for any of his players to win the NFL MVP award all season. And it turns out there’s a good reason for that. In a press conference this week, Kyle Shanahan explained that he didn’t comment too much on the MVP race because he believes the San Francisco 49ers have two MVP candidates in Christian McCaffrey and Brock Purdy, and he doesn’t want to eliminate one. Second in MVP voting. “That’s the only reason I wouldn’t comment too much either, because I don’t want them to be mutually exclusive,” Shanahan said, according to 49ersWebzone.com. – But if someone other than a quarterback gets the MVP, I don’t see how Christian McCaffrey can’t. I mean, he’s been amazing at what he’s done all year.
If it’s a quarterback, I don’t need to talk about Christian. I can talk about our quarterback. And if his numbers are all you see, I guess that settles it. But when you watch the movie, it makes it even stronger, which is the most important thing for me.
Obviously, having too many MVP candidates is a good problem for a team to have, and it means the team has a good chance to win an even more valuable prize: the Lombardi Trophy.
