Football MVP?

[eaglestrike98]

I thought since the commentators are all talking about it, why not us? I'm a pretty big football junky, but still don't have a real opinion on the MVP. So, I thought I'd reach out and ask everyone interested: who should be the MVP and why? I'll provide my own opinion when I make up my mind

Maurice Jones Drew- The only reason is that he is the leading NFL rusher and he is on a crappy team.

I feel like you have to go with the easy choice and pick Aaron Rodgers.

-Team is 13-0
-39 Tds, and only 6 INTs. That's at least a 6:1 ratio. Brady and Brees are at 3:1, and Stafford and Manning are 2:1
-League leading 123.3 QB rating, and he's leading ESPN's QBR thing, but that only means something to ESPN

MJD's doing a lot with little, and I can appreciate that. But Rodgers is tearing it up out there.

I agree. Go with Rodgers. If you look at the way Green Bay's offense is set up he's doing a lot with little too. He's got one really good receiver in Greg Jennings but then the drop off is pretty sizeable. The rest of their receivers aren't bad but no crazy playmakers like Jennings. After that if you look at their run game it's pretty non-existent. It's just good enough to keep opposing defenses honest but their offense actually reminds me of Peyton Manning with the Colts. Maybe not that extreme but similar.

[Shizensky]

And the Packers without Rodgers would probably end up being a lot like the Colts have been without Manning, which still blows my mind, by the way.

If you take away the Packers' offense, they're left with a defense that allows 20 something points per game, I think. They wouldn't be where they are now without their QB.

You do have a good point with that. I do have to agree.

That's genius, really. How else to prove your the MVP besides not playing and watching your playoff-regular team get the first draft pick?

[Mutanatia]

Exactly

[The Ilium]

Drew Brees!

[Commi-Transylvania]

Steven Gerrard all the way!!!

Ronaldo or Messi now, depends who's had more assists. For my native league, it's Dries Mertens =(

Ah, but it said Steven Gerrard right above me. So I thought, time for some more thread derailing

[Shizensky]

Especially considering the US Football season is over. You guys can have the thread now

Rogers is the obvious choice, but look at the weapons he has. Matt Flyn is an average qb, but he had an OUTSTANDING game against a great defense. It isn't all Rogers, he is a great team to work with.

Thanks. I know I mentioned Dries Mertens, he's also the dirtiest player of the league. I'm really looking forward to the end of the season, there are 6 clubs within 6 points at the top that all have a chance to win the championship, and there are still a few teams open for relegation at the other end.

But it's time for national team week more or less, time to see whether Sneijder or Robben manage to play well after playing shit at their clubs, where they were heroes not 1 year back
