NFL MVP

[steeljake]

aftre the performance peyton manning put on thursday the talking heads are saying it is his award. Personally I think Adrian Peterson should get it. Who ya got?

 

[corbin]

I wish Warner but he is falling out of the race slowly. We will see how Adrian does but if he carries the Vikings into the playoffs then I think he should get it. These last 2 weeks will tell a lot in the MVP race.

 

[Irish]

I hope its anyone but Peyton.

 

[Gonzo]

To be honest, it's got to be Peyton - he's beastly out there right now.

AP has got to be close. If he can carry the Vikes to the playoffs, it's gotta be his.

 

[Maestro]

Kurt Warner.

If he ware breaks the sack record id give it t him.

ware should get consideration, but defensive guys dont usually win this. Drew Brees would be in the mix if the team wasnt gonna be 8-8.

Yeah thats true about the defensive players. Im just throwing someone else out there since there doesnt really seem like a clear cut winner as of right now. Yeah it kinda sucks that brees most likely wont win it. I was hoping to buy one of those shirts off NFL.com that says hes the MVP, but it looks like it wont happen.

 

[Chadman]

im still sticking with big ben.

It's a beauty contest. Matt Ryan won rookie of the week and he threw 2 picks. Although that's a totally different award this is clearly a beauty contest with the media.

 

[Magnetic Spectrum]

how is big ben in consideration????ap,the guy has hella rushin yards

 

[Aso]

I can't say anyone on offense. Demarcus Ware will be the first defensive player to win MVP since LT. 19 sacks so far and he will destroy Jared Gaither tonight. I think he will break the NFL Record for most sacks in one season. The Record is 23.5 so he needs 5 more sacks to break it.

 

[kmanharris]

the record is 22

Either Matt Ryan or Michael Turner..

all this AP talk....what bout Turner...he's shown up, helped a team that struggled last year, and with a solid run game to lean on Matt Ryan has gotten it made a lot easier for himself,NOT taking anything away from Ryan...

Peterson: 320 att 1581 yds 9 td 6 fum 3 lost

Turner: 332 att 1421 yds 15 td 2 fum 1 lost

TD's win games...not always yards...and his O-line is NOWHERE near the all stars on Peterson's

That was a very convincing argument, come to think of it a lot of people are over looking Turner. He should have some say in the MVP race. Although I still lean towards AP, that team depends on him so much, he is the Vikings offense.

 

[Magnetic Spectrum]

some of you are throwing random ass names out there,like matt ryan and big ben.

dree brees should still be in the race,remember it's most valuable player not guy with the best stats.

 

[Primetime]

It's also about the record Spectrum. As much as people want to say it isn't, nobody is going to win it with a 5 win team. Brady wasn't the most VALUABLE player last year, but he broke records and had a undefeated team. He had the best stats and most of the time, it's a QB that wins it recently.

AD has 12 less carries and 160 more yards. Turner also doesn't get spelled at the goal line.


Peterson 4.94 ypc
Turner 4.28 ypc

almost 5 yards per carry is huge, even though i dont like stats per se. also turner has more weapons around him, 3 good wide outs and Norwood is pretty good as well. The Vikngs have 1 good wide out and Chester Taylor. Matt Ryan may be a rookie, but can anyone really argue that Ferrote or even Jackson are better qb's than he is? I am not saying Turner shouldn't be in the mix, but I don't think he outshines AD.

 

[Aso]

It should be a defensive player. There is no offensive player running away with the award like in years past and there are a lot of defensive standouts.

- Ed Reed
- Troy Polamalu
- Demarcus Ware
- James Harrison

Any of those players are way more deserving than any offensive player.
