Arizona Cardinals have two viable MVP candidates

In 2015, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer had an MVP season. He finished with 35 touchdowns passes and 11 interceptions. In 2016, he had 26 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

For Cardinals running back David Johnson, he lead all NFL running backs with 80 receptions last season to go with his 20 touchdowns (16 on the ground, four receiving) and 1,239-yards rushing. Oh, and that was just his second NFL season.

With expectations running high again going into 2017, there is no reason to believe that Palmer or Johnson will take a step back. Palmer easily can get back to his 2015 numbers and Johnson could be better than what he produced in 2016.
