NFL MVP

[benravens1]

with the season coming to a close the MVP conversation gathers pace so who wins it?

i think it might just be a straight fight between Brady and Vick. probably with Brady winning it based on his recent performances etc.

although Matt Ryan does deserve some consideration considering the falcons record.

Anyone besides a QB?

[Ed_Reed20]

Darren McFadden...

Why not?

[i][b]Homer Picks:[/b][/i]
Suggs

[i][b]Realistic Picks:[/b][/i]
Brady
Wake
Roddy White
Foster

No one else really comes to mind.

Ya if anyone has watched Brady post Moss its pretty ridiculous, and the MVP is all but sealed already to him.

[True]

Unless Mike Vick can pull another MNF Redskins massacre, Tom Brady runs away with it.

[Milton145]

Me and my friends have been arguing who's gonna win MVP. He thinks Mike Vick is. I told him Tom Brady is gonna win MVP and Vick is gonna be Offensive Player of the Year.

Pretty sure if the league is gonna do everything it can to keep Brady pretty. They are gonna do everything they can to give him the hardware

The man deserves [i]something[/i] for what he did against the Jags. Still can't believe this run.

[RavensAllTheWay]

Ahmad Bradshaw, Roddy White, Arian Foster, Andre Johnson, Santonio Holmes, Hakeem Nicks...just throwing names out there. These are obviously not QBs.

[flaccopoe]

Darren McFadden, Jamaal Charles, Dwayne Bowe, Clay Matthews...

McFadden? Eww....

I think David Reed's return yesterday was better but yeah, McFadden's been playing well this year despite me being biased against him.

[JO_75]

Tom Brady hands down... but IF it were to go to a non-QB I would say Maurice Jones-Drew. Yeah Garrard has been ok but alone Drew has carried the Jags team to the AFC South Crown and the playoffs and saved Del Rio's job.

[PuRock]

Another vote for Brady. He'll get it no doubt.

[bdravens]

Brady, barring and epic collapse.

[FerrariFan87]

Brady.

Arian Foster would be in consideration if the Texans were in contention, but not really.

ehh.. on a team with a losing record, plus he missed 2 or 3 games.

If it weren't for Vick, I could easily see him winning the comeback player of the year award.

I think the MVP has to go to Brady... Vick hasn't started, what, 3 or 4 games?.. He's playing lights out, but Brady has been unreal, especially down the stretch when it really matters.

[theFRANCHISE]

Though it's a dead heat between Brady and Vick, the tiebreaker for me is how the season would go for each team if neither man played. Kevin Kolb showed flashes of playing well when Vick went down (ironically after Vick replaced Kolb due to his own injury), so the Eagles could conceivably be afloat in the NFC East with Kolb under center, just not as dominant. The Patriots, meanwhile, have an unknown quantity at QB behind Tom Brady in Brian Hoyer. It's not likely Belichick would catch lightning in a bottle twice with an unknown backup QB playing in relief of Brady, which demonstrates the greater value that Brady has to the Pats than Vick has to the Eagles.

I was only joking man.

[AwakenTheDemon]

I look at it this way, at least we won't see Peyton Manning's third consecutive MVP award. If we do, we know it's rigged =P

Yep

[MagicianCamille]

If Brady keeps this up he'll run away with it. If not maybe Matt Ryan or Michael Vick.

I know... I was watching that game and i went nut went he broke all of those long runs...
Gotta rep my boy from the ARK...

Franny said it best, Brady brings more to his team than Vick. Just like Peyton, Brady has the ability to turn young no-name receivers into superstars and that's something I have to give him credit for despite the obvious detest I have for him. Yes, Vick will probably end up being the runner up but I have my doubts on whether he would be able to accomplish the same stats he has if he were to play against AFC defenses week in, week out.

[True]

As of last Sunday I'd say it's Tom Brady 1a and Mike Vick 1b.

Depending on what happens in these last two weeks could swing momentum for either player.

There could also be an possible choice of a Co-MVP like Manning/McNair in '03.
