CMC and Barkley both finished 3rd so they definitely got consideration. I suppose it is possible if we had a really dominant back or WR that put up record breaking numbers and a weak year for QBs. I shouldn't say it will never happen again but it's pretty unlikely. Especially when you have QBs like Allen who are going to rush for 15 TDs a year as well.
