[moklerman]

Who thinks they know who it will be?

 

[moklerman]

Mod's can you please edit the thread title to read "2008"? Thanks.

Adrian Peterson deserves it but Peyton Manning will win it JMHO

 

[moklerman]

The Colts have to be the most under the radar 12-4 team in NFL history.

This is going to be a very interesting vote this year. I don't think there's a clear cut winner but since Rivers and the Chargers got in, I think he'll win it. 50+ points in a national t.v. game the last game of the year to get in the playoffs won't hurt. First 4-8 team to ever come back and make the playoffs. Can't stand him but that's not too shabby.

 

[Spielman]

Rivers or Manning. Either one deserves it, IMO.

 

[Totally_Red]

AP. Despite the fumbles and mediocre QB play he has led the Vikings to the post-season IMO.

 

[moklerman]

Anyone care to make their case for Peyton? He had a lower completion %, fewer yards, fewer TD's and a lower rating than even Warner and Indy finished the season with HOU, SD, CLE, CIN, DET, JAX & TEN(resting their starters). PIT & NE were both good wins for the Colts earlier in the year but the defense held them each to 20 or less points.

I'm not saying he shouldn't get it but I don't think he's particularly obvious.

Also, why Adrian Peterson over Michael Turner? When I look at the numbers and division, Turner seems a better choice. Only 60 fewer yards, 7 more TD's and way fewer fumbles. Plus Atlanta had a better record.

Hey I heard a recent interview with Jeff Saturday on FSR and he admitted that the DEFENSE had carried the Colts in the second half of the season. Manning struggled early on just like Warner has recently. I'd give it to AP, or maybe even Michael Turner of Atlanta.

Not fully recovered from surgery early, team struggled badly. As he rounded into form the team caught fire despite never having an efficient running game. I think the value of a fully functional Peyton Manning was pretty clearly demonstrated this season.

Depite the fact that I voted for Manning in this poll, I think Rivers has a better case, actually.

Tough call as not one really stands out amongst the group. I voted for Peterson as the Vikings won their division without a decent qb. He was the difference maker.

 

[TigToad]

If this is a decision based on what MVP should be about.. which team is way better because of a single player, there are only 3 choices IMO.

Pennington, Turner and Manning. I went with Turner.

If this is about stats... I would vote for Brees.

 

[IAWarnerFan]

Another vote for Peyton Manning. I would have voted other if Pittsburgh's defense wasn't lit up by Tennessee.

 

[Buckybird]

The guy that should be taking this offense to new heights!!! Peterson

 

[Brian]

Ed Reed, Baltimore

Sick and tired of the manning douchebags.



Kurt it is

Peyton carried that team and that's why he should win it. He had the league's 2nd worst rushing attack, he only had 12 turnovers, had to deal with a banged up O-line and running backs in and out of the lineup and a very mediocre D and he led them to the second best record in football. Oh yeah, and he threw for 4000 and had a better than 2:1 TD:Turnover ratio. I don't know if that makes it obvious, but I think he's the pick IMO.

I think it's because people generally regard Jackson and Frerotte as a joke and Peterson singlehandedly carried them for the most part whereas Matt Ryan played decent ball this season and had a 1400 yard WR for defense to be scared of. More weapons on Atlanta versus the Vikings.

but I wouldn't have any problem with Peyton, Peterson, or Turner winning it this year. They've all had spectacular seasons and led their teams to division titles and or great records.

I voted Pennigton just the fact he was able to lead the dolphins to a great record and playoffs after a 1-15 season is amazing. I'm hoping the dolphins and cardinals both do well in the playoffs, imagine a cardinal vs dolphin sb hahahahah

 

[IAWarnerFan]

Kurt Warner had my vote until the New England game. Right now he'd be #3 on my list.

 

[Rats]

Kurt has my vote, he had the worst rushing attack in the league and took a sorry Franchise to its 1st Division title in 30 years despite a coaching staff in over there heads. Are we all sure the MVP isn't LEVI BROWN??? Why isn't he a choice He must be because these guys picked him over a real MVP in Adrian Peterson....the haunting of that pick will go on for years.... we will just enjoy having a home playoff game and say THANK YOU KURT WARNER AND LARRY FITZGERALD. GO CARDS

 

[IAWarnerFan]

What about BOLDIN and BREASTON? Better thank them too!

 

[Buckybird]

a real MVP in Adrian Peterson....the haunting of that pick will go on for years....

Most of us as Cards fans will never get over it, I know I never will. I remember watching the draft and couldn't believe my ears as teams continued to pass him. I thought to myself, "Leinart and now Peterson" we are going to be great for a while. When Goodell went to the podium and said the Big Red picked Levi Brown, I wanted to break my TV. Remember when the Trailblazers picked Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan because they needed a Center? I truely hope we don't have that feeling in the next 10 years on what could have been. Drafting for need never has been a good idea to me or for the Cards. Wendall Bryant, Kelly Stouffer, Antrel Rolle, Tommy Knight are just some of the names that come to mind.

 

[Rats]

We stood up booed endlessly for what seemed like forever and walked out chanting BS BS from the new stadium FAN Draft Day...it was and still is a horrendous mistake made by a group that has made many horrendous choices over the years.
I was thanking Kurt and Larry for yesterday and not letting us go in as the laughing stock 8-8 division winner....we would have had to hear that all off season...9-7 is more palatable.

 

[TJ]

Kurt by default

Ed Reed, Baltimore

You are my favorite poster on this board. I have been saying that all year. You dont post much, but it seems everything you write I agree with. Carry on.

 

[IAWarnerFan]

It's terrible to see Pennington get more votes than Warner. That's just sad.
I also disagree with the colors of these bars. Pink for Warner??? Pennington should be pink!
