History says he's a long shot simply because of those missed games. In the post NFL-AFL merger era (since 1970) in non-strike-shortened seasons, only one player has missed three games and still won the NFL MVP award: Joe Montana in 1989.

Williams faces long odds for MVP after missing three games; only Montana achieved it.

The source reports that Caleb Williams is a long shot to win NFL MVP due to missed games. In the post-NFL-AFL merger era since 1970 in non-strike-shortened seasons, only one player has missed three games and still won the NFL MVP award: Joe Montana in 1989. Every other MVP missed two or fewer games, with most missing zero, making Williams' path to the award historically difficult.
