I'm not all that surprised by that. He had a really great year for a rookie QB. Rookie QBs tend to struggle their first year, so his good numbers are that much more impressive. I thought Matt Forte might get it tho.
Forte should have won it. He was the Bears offense. Ryan had a nice year but he's fallen back the last few weeks. Forte was pretty solid from game 1 on. You could make just as good a case for Flacco as Ryan even though i'd rank Ryan slightly better. My top 3 would be Forte, Ryan, Flacco. Clady, Brandon Albert, and Otah would also get consideration.
Defensively,it's Mayo hands down. DRC will be in the mix after that. McKelvin,Lofton, Lowery, and Harvey are others.
