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:

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
