From the episode

he's only 25th in EPA per play so far in his career... It's a run heavy team and it's a Ben Johnson team. And that helps because it makes the Bears better. It doesn't help you become MVP.

Williams' efficiency and run-heavy scheme limit his MVP upside

Williams is a 2% MVP candidate. He has struggled with efficiency, ranking 25th in EPA per play, and has yet to hit 4,000 yards or 30 touchdowns. The Bears' run-heavy scheme under Ben Johnson may help the team win, but it historically limits the quarterback's individual MVP-level statistical output.
