MVP Voting

Recommended Posts

I am unsure about the process of MVP voting, but I feel that DeAngelo has a legitimate shot at being the NFL MVP. I'm not saying he is getting it, considering the media's love for Peyton and others, but just look:

Best in TDs, YPC for the top 13 backs, 3rd in yards, and the best stat...

0 FUMBLES

He will get votes, but do you think he could be this year's MVP? Honest opinions ;)

no- it will got to peyton....

8 or 9 straight wins and getting his team in the playoffs after the bad start his team had.

If Williams would had 50 more carries then probably. He just isnt a big enough "star" to win the MVP.

I would rather us keep our lil secret under wraps for a few more games anyways ;)

He can win SB MVP ;)

Smith is more valuable to us than D-Lo is. D-Lo, however, is our best player. MVP does not equate to best player...that's what the Offensive POY goes to. For a while I bought the Peyton argument for MVP, but now I don't. He WILL win, because voters/sports writers/media all get sucked in by hype, but they weren't doing that bad before he took them to ten straight. They were just in a slump. Now, if the Colts had been 1-15 last season then yes, he should get it. But they're the damn Colts!

That said, Pennington has done an amzing job bringing the Dolphins out of nowhere and Brees kept up stats similar to what he would've had if his team was ever healthy, which they never were. Turner, in Atlanta, was the scoring machine for that team's turn around. Without him, the Falcons would be doomed. Peterson fumbled too much to win it, but he too carries that team.

you never know AK!!! just kidding, of course not, but it's still a way to express your support

i am fine with Peyton getting it, but something is wrong if Adrian Peterson gets it...he had half the touchdowns, and 9 fumbles....

The MVP award is becoming more and more like the Pro Bowl just a popularity contest. I don't even think that D. Williams is even mentioned by most of the media as a legitimate MVP candidate and yet he has twice the touchdowns as AP and almost a whole yard better YPC and NO fumbles. How could you not mention a running back with a 5.5 YPC average and 20 TDS as a MVP candidate. Its all about popularity, which BTW is why most of the time a QB will win it.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
