  It absolutely does. When a quarterback wins an MVP he almost always has an offense full of other players who have top stats. Then in the off-season those star wide receivers and offensive lineman want more money and the team can’t pay them all. Some of them go to other teams, and now the reigning MVP has a much harder time looking like a superstar.
