    He should win MVP for being an exceptional defense player.

    If he does lose, it cannot be anyone other than Aaron Rodgers or DeMarco Murray.

    Murray just won OPOY. It would be strange if Rodgers won MVP after he failed to win OPOY (seriously how can you award the MVP to an offensive player who didn't even get enough AP votes to win the award for best offensive player?).

    Really hope this means things are falling in line for JJ to take home the MVP right after he is awarded DPOY. Would suck if the AP gave Murray OPOY just so they could give Rodgers MVP.

    Watt has a chance to pass Taylor considering how young he is

    I had to google Wagner to see who he was, in that Seahawks defense. Surprised he got a vote, considering the names you usually hear are Sherman/Chancellor/ET3.

    It's gotta be the Seattle beat writer. Take his vote away.

    Tony Dungy was the 1 delusional vote for Bobby Wagner.

    He would literally take Bobby Wagner over Rodgers, Watt, Manning, Brady...list goes on. How was this guy ever a head coach
