Wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been on one of the greatest tears in NFL history since joining the Miami Dolphins.

While many questioned the move to leave Patrick Mahomes and how that would impact production down the line when it happened, it seems that a lot of those doubters are quiet now.

Hill has only been with the Dolphins for two years and has still accounted for 3,000 yards and 19 touchdowns with time to spare, and this year has been so dominant that many are asking whether or not Hill belongs in the MVP race. That would require a dramatic change from the NFL.

Before we get too far into the nuances of the award, Hill currently has 93 receptions for 1,481 yards and 12 touchdowns this year alone. Those numbers project to 132 receptions for 2,098 yards and 17 touchdowns by the end of the season. Absolutely attainable based on everything we have seen.

Assuming this all plays out as expected, Hill will have a claim to one of the best single seasons for a wide receiver in NFL history. The yards alone would set an NFL record by a margin of almost 100, and Hill would join a group of some of the most talented receivers in league history such as Jerry Rice, Calvin Johnson, and Antonio Brown.

So, what does it take to win an MVP relative to the stats?

Unfortunately for Hill, MVP is a tricky award for the vast majority of positions in the NFL. The modern era of the game almost always gravitates towards the quarterback position as the obvious winner of the award. The last ten MVPs have been quarterbacks, and there have only been four non-quarterbacks (all running backs) to win the award since 2000.

It's true; wide receivers don't win MVP, and every other position barely has a chance of even getting votes. People can point out that the award had some less-than-exemplary winners (like a kicker in 1982), but none of that changes the fact that Hill is facing an uphill battle. But should he?

While no one should go out and place money on Hill winning MVP this season, the NFL may have to use this as a moment to look in the mirror and ask why the award has become so quarterback-dependent.

Wide receivers may not get the ball as often as quarterbacks or running backs, but why is is fair to put quarterbacks like Brock Purdy high up in the race and not Deebo Samuel, especially when Purdy's stats come from plays where Samuel is the one who did the vast majority of the work?

The award is simply flawed. Hill should probably get a vote or two on the merit of this being the best season in the history of the league at that position, but one has to wonder why that isn't enough to spark a conversation of change on the most important award in the sport.

If a travesty like this really does come to pass, the NFL needs to do some serious reflecting on how they could let this happen.

Dolphins have no excuse in Week 13

This should be a straightforward win.
