MVP?

[DSpydr84]

Delhomme, no way. He's played some god awful games recently.

 

[Yawkey Way]

Jake Delhomme? come on now..

last time i checked when making an argument to why Cassel should go to the Panthers because of delhomme's shortcomings, he was only +3 TD to INT and having his worst year statistically as a starter. The guy threw like 4 int's against the raiders.

Manning is also having an off season, he shouldn't be up there.

Eli and Favre i can see.

 

[celtsxpatsxsox]

Eli Manning - The Giants are brilliant. The End.
Brett Favre - He has managed games brilliantly and led the Jets to leading their division
JAKE DELHOMME - I believe he should win. He has come risen from the dead and is carrying the Carolina Panthers in a tough division. He doesn't lead the league in many stats or have the high TD #'s, but that isnt his game. He gets them down the field in position to run the ball in.
Peyton Manning - The Colts wouldn't be where they are without him.

Those are just to name a few...Others like Jay Cutler, Drew Brees among others are up there, but wont win in all likelihood.

You could say the same thing about Kerry Collins too.

Delhomme- 12TD 9INT, 3 fumbles lost, already been sacked 18 times, 57.8 completion percentage. The Panthers are where they are because of an easier schedule, not because of Delhomme.

Manning-His lowest QB rating in a while at 85.3. 63% completion rating, also down. 19TD-12INT is pretty good i'll give him that. But he's not clicking, and the Colts have not looked as powerful as usual.

 

[Yawkey Way]

If he's not a TD Throwing QB..then why do they have him out there? I thought the main purpose of having a quarterback was too try to get the ball into the end zone through the air, thus making the offensive game multi dimensional, not one dimensional if they just pound the rock play after play.

They have lately.

 

[Yawkey Way]

But if they are just barely getting by winning games, why should their QB be awarded for nothing spectacular. I agree with you when you say Manning is the whole reason the Colts are 8-4, not 4-8, but i disagree that because of the point you made, he should now be MVP. He's top 3 QB in the NFL, the Colts should be winning games. I don't think Manning should be awarded the best player in the NFL for doing his job adequately, but not spectacularly.

 

[Yawkey Way]

i'm getting what your saying about Delhomme, i'm just saying that he should not be in the MVP running, for managing an offense. I'm sure plenty of QB's can go in there and throw the ball maybe 20 times a game, hand it off a lot, and not force the ball into any risky throws.

MVP is for the Most Valuable Player. not just the player that puts up the best stats.

Then why did Kobe Bryant win MVP in the NBA last year. Chris Paul obviously deserved it by your standards. It isn't just about most valuable. It's also about the stats.

 

[Yawkey Way]

and i agree with you on that point. I just don't think he should win MVP since he is most valuable to the Colts. There are plenty of players are most valuable to their teams who are putting up amazing stats. Don't get me wrong, Peytons a great player, just not MVP worthy this season.

and celtspatssox, usually the most valuable player to their team, is putting up the best stats.

 

[kyhadley]

You can say all you want that its supposed to be about the most valuable player, but everyone knows that's not actually how it plays out. It obviously originated in that light but now MVP has mostly turned into a phrase for Best Overall Player.

Case in point: The last four year's MVPs have all been players with record breaking seasons. You could obviously argue that made them the most valuable player, but their stats were what was mostly talked about, not their value, and there were probably more "valuable" players for their team than them. That's at least how I see it.

As for this year, I'm not really sure, lol. I'd probably say Warner.

 

[Herm]

You could say the same thing about Kerry Collins too.

Im a titans fan and Kerry has no shot(as Delhomme likely doesnt either) . Kerry actually could have legitimate case if the Titans threw the ball more.



My choice for MVP is Michael Turner

 

[Yawkey Way]

Michael Turner is a dark horse, i don't think he gets enough recognition for what he does.

 

[Primetime]

Matt Ryan and Michael Turner both deserve to have something said about them in this race.

 

[Magnetic Spectrum]

for anyone saying the panthers have a easy shed....gtfo

plus if you notice the whole nfc south have similar sheds,so is the nfc south a product of easy shed??????

btw,whens the last time a team picked there shed,panthers can't help it if our shed comes off as easy to some.talk to goodell

if anyone (not saying they do) deserves mvp from the panthers it's steve smith,guy has made some single handed plays to win some games.but i see what your sayin about jake also.

i would say brees,but it seems he has lose some games for the saints due to bad decisions.i'd go with farve for now,but if the dolphins make the playoffs,definitely chad penn should get some interest

 

[celtsxpatsxsox]

Past 4 MVP's are Tom Brady, Ladanian Tomlinson, Shaun Alexander, Peyton Manning. There are a couple things these players have in common. One is that they all had record breaking seasons and the other is that they all carried there teams to the playoffs. Now when you have record breaking seasons then there should be no doubt as to who should win. But when you are in a year where there arent many standout stats you have to go wiht the guy who seems most valubale to the team. Theoretically speaking lets say Calvin Johnson of the detroits Lions was leading the league in reception yards, TD's and a lot of the other Wide Reciever Stats. Would you put him into consideration for MVP? Most likely not cause his team doesnt have a win and he hasnt helped his team out.

 

[Primetime]

You can say Favre should be MVP until you are able to spell his name.

 

[Vinsane]

Quit throwing names out there for the sake of argument, if you said Peyton Manning, Jake Delhomme, or Kerry Collins you obviously don't know what the hell your talking about. I can make a claim that D'Qwell Jackson deserves DPOTY based on the fact he leads the league in tackles.

Enough of throwing names out there for the sake of throwing names out there. Kerry Collins? Kerry F***ing Collins? Come on, 21st in the league in passing yards, 15th lowest attempts. PLEASE! The running game has got the Titans where they are not Kerry Collins, can that argument now.

Jake Delhomme? Completing just over HALF of his passes. And only attempting 27 passes a game? Are you serious guys come on.

MVP

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

not MVPT

Most Valuable Player to their Team.

Value is not only self worth but what your doing with your team, while all are considered to be playoff contenders (and no one has an easier last four than Ind) Tennessee is the only sure bet to get a playoff spot. Falcons could catch, or Chicago at 6-6 and get into the playoffs should CAR slip.

 

[Point Blank]

It's a tough one this year.
