Even if they lose, he should be the MVP. Probably doesn't have a shot in the minds of the voters without making the playoffs though. |
Just my opinion, but a running back should never be MVP, just due to the nature of the position. If they changed the award to be for the most outstanding player, I could see it, but the word valuable basically limits it to quarterbacks only. |

Peterson this year has been an exception. I don't remember the last time a RB was so integral to his team's success.

Yeah, I can see both sides of it. Thing is though (to Richter's point), if you disqualify a RB based on "the nature of the position" you are pretty much limiting the MVP race to QB's.
But, other than Barry Sanders, I can't remember too many other RB's who single-handedly carried his team to playoff contention the way Peterson has this year. |

| As much as I dislike the NFC East primetime games, I'm really looking forward to tonight's Redskins/Cowboys matchup |

LOL Dungy. Criticizing Harbaugh for resting starters.

Rich, if you were forced to bet, who would you take? Skins or Cows?

Pretty terrible, actually. Can't stand his "good guy" image. |

If AD isn't MVP, you might legitimately see me lose my shiz.

I consider it Brady in a runaway according to advanced statistics, but I'm not losing any sleep over it. The media votes for storylines and is beyond ignorant, it's a meaningless award. |

I would love for Brady to MVP, but i would be very upset if Manning wins it over AP.

Brady's got no chance. He's got fewer turnovers, more TDs, way more points scored, won head to head, and had a worse defense. But nope, no chance.
