Brady for me... Rivers was it for me til yesterday. Brady and Vick are neck and neck but Brady will win out if/when NE finishes with the best record.
The way Brady just tore thru my Jets like a fresh new pair of panties.....gotta give it to Tom at this point. Damn we got our ass kicked.
Brady just basically put himself in the lead after tonight. Rivers, Vick, Ryan, and Brady are pretty much the 4 finalists. Depending on how the next 4 weeks go, it could be anybody's award.
i think its a 2 horse race....with Brady leading Vick right now....i could actually see Polumalu (sp?) in the top 5 Rivers may not even make the playoffs......and Ryan is gonna get "Bagwell'd" since no one outside of Atlanta fans are noticing him
Chargers and Falcons have fairly easy schedules to finish the year, the Falcons in particular have a total cakewalk. While they're prolly not in the top 2, Rivers and Ryan could easily get hot and make it very interesting. I also forgot Aaron Rodgers, who is having a monster year, but GB has a super hard schedule to close out the year.
I'd throw Brees in there too. In fact, I think the Falcons will end up losing the division to New Orleans.
You'd stand alone in that camp... ATL 10-2 (3-0 div; 7-1 conf) NO 9-3 (3-1 div; 7-2 conf) Final 4 weeks: ATL @ CAR ATL @ SEA NO @ ATL CAR @ ATL STL @ NO NO @ BAL NO @ ATL TB @ NO Even if the Saints beat the Falcons, they'd pretty much have to win out, because ATL isn't losing any of their other 3 games. Even then, it'd go into tiebreakers, which would be W-L vs Common opponents, which the Falcons lead 2-1. In fact, the only other game the Falcons could even possibly lose would be @ SEA, a hellacious road trip. But even then, I doubt the Saints run the table, Baltimore or Tampa will get them, if the Falcons don't.
Definitely has to go to Tom Brady. How he has playing lately, this award should go to him. I put Brees or Ryan in front of Vick.
Rivers last 3 games haven't been all that stellar while Brady has been monstrous, Brady deserves it as of right now. Season isn't over yet though.
Vick missed 4 games and just about pwned in almost every game he's started... all the more reason he deserves to be MVP.. just imagine if he'd actually played in those 4 games! It should be between him and Brady. Brady is doing a heck of a job without a decent pass defense.. although they have stepped it up the past couple of games.
Vick's an absolute baller, but he's surrounded by explosive talent (DeSean Jackson, Shady McCoy, Jeremy Maclin)... w/o Brady, the Patriots are a bottom feeder. They don't have the Pro Bowl-caliber skill players that Philly has -- Welker's a sure-handed, solid slot guy, but Brady elevated that man to another level. Look at Danny Woodhead, a guy that was cut by the Jets at the beginning of the season, and is now a feature back on one of the NFL's elite franchises. Brady brings the best out in his teammates, and always manages to get the W, even though the Pats' secondary has been down right pathetic this season. It's a two horse race, and Brady's got a commanding lead at this point.
