Vick leads all players in probowl voting

Recommended Posts

The league revealed today that Vick has 729,838 fan votes for the Pro Bowl, which puts him in first place among all players in the entire league.

Vick has surged ahead of Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, who was in first place among all players but has now fallen into second, 38,692 votes behind Vick.

The NFL selects Pro Bowl rosters through a combination of voting from fans, players and coaches. Pro Bowlers will be announced later this month

Who is not mentioning him as an MVP candidate?

I haven't heard any talk of him as MVP. And Darin Gantt apparently was getting in a Twitter-argument deal with some guy who said DG didn't consider Vick among the MVP candidates.

And even on like Mike and Mike, I've never heard them mention him as one as we've gotten deeper into the season which is weird because he's gotten better. But, they have mentioned the Eagles are legit... But, when it comes to MVP talk they are all immediately going to Brady, Rivers, and they were talking about Peyton until the last 2 weeks or so.

It seems like he's getting pub for being a great QB now and still obviously a difference maker, but like he's being ignored for MVP. I could be wrong though, if you've heard any talk of it let me know...

If Vick had no interceptions, he would have been hands down the NFL MVP. Now Vick has to battle it out with Brady and maybe even Matt Ryan. I think Vick is still the favorite of the award, and will most likely win the comeback player award as well. Another one for the record books.

Well Darin Gantt was probably too busy submitting write-in votes for Armanti Edwards at every Pro Bowl Position...so I wouldn't consider his stance as being with the times. But here's some reading for you to prove the talk exists.

Yahoo who rates Vick as the #1 candidate: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/The-NFL-MVP-race-Michael-Vick-and-the-rest?urn=nfl-286682

James Brown of CBS thinks Vick could be NFL MVP:

Sporting News lists him as the favorite:

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
