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.

Sporting News lists him as the favorite:

    • I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.  
    • Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up. 
    • I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
