4. DeMarco

[Raven]

Very solid list..

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Cowboys oline deserves a shout out

[Clipper Nation]

Realistically, Watt isn't a candidate, since the MVP award has become the "quarterback or running back with the best stats" award....

Rivers looks like the early leader, but the media will find every excuse they can to gift it to Fivehead or Luck....

rivers will never be mvp, and that is right because he is simply not a decisive player and chokes whenever he can. Especially now that the chargers oline is taking hit after hit, he'll crumble quickly.

[manufan10]

I've seen several media members touting Watt as an MVP candidate on Twitter. It wouldn't shock me.

Five straight games of an 120+ passer rating (an NFL record) and he just won a game he would have choked away in previous years.... I know it's just the Raiders, but even last year, he'd have 100% fumbled a snap or thrown a pick on the last drive.... he also has had a shit O-line all year and most of his career...

and how was the line in 06, 07, 08... his first 3 years as a starter while they were crushing opponents on the ground... and yeah McNeil went down in 2011 which is when their line declined, starting with that scrub dumbrowski. iirc gaither actually filled in well but then got lazy as fuck after getting a contract :lol

PFF only started ranking O-lines in 2009, tbh... I do agree that the O-line was good his first 3 years, but I only said most of his career, and 6 years of a shitty O-line trumps 3 years of a good one....

Because "running backs don't deserve to be MVP".

[DeadlyDynasty]

They don't. AP barely won it for rushing for 2100 yds and carrying a lifeless supporting cast to the playoffs. I'm not going to give consideration to a player who plays behind an amazing O-line, Top 10 QB, Top 5 WR, and a Top 10 TE. I especially won't give it now that he's about due for another injury any week now.

Watt, Luck, Rivers, and Rodgers's teams might not have 3 wins AMONG them w/o those guys.

Good points, and I wouldn't put him at the top. Just making the argument that what he's done this far in the season, you gotta give a bit of a nod. As for injury, he's likely to look a bit more durable since he's taking on safeties and corners instead of defensive linemen for a change.

Don't look now, but Romo's been stupid efficient since his terrible first half against the Niners. If he keeps that up, he might supplant Murray in the discussion. Probably not at the top, but he's audibled to runs more times this season than he probably has in the rest of his career combined. That's worth a couple of points right there. :lol

Pats offense has looked better and better as Gronk has gotten healthier. people should also remember how anemic the Pats offense was last season in the early weeks when Gronk was still out

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Tony Romo deserves a shout out. Watching that bum play qb Sunday made me appreciate tony even more.

[spurraider21]

Murray is above Romo on any MVP hierarchy.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

The cowboys would be like the raiders without Romo. What we saw sunday was like seeing what life will be like with him. Its a scary thought

[spurraider21]

you have it backwards :lol

the raiders are last in the NFL in rushing yards and the cowboys are first... they have a difference of 88 rushing yards per game. the cowboys average 20 more yards per game through the air than the raiders do.

the run game is what separates them above anything. romo would struggle with our run game and lack of receiving weapons

i know, but making a legit player out of lolfell to me gives him the edge.. also he is having one of his best season ever (sounds crazy but it's true)

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Yea i haven't seen the raiders play since ican remember, so i dont give a shit, all i know is we sucked with out Romo on sunday

[spurraider21]

i know, but making a legit player out of lolfell to me gives him the edge.. also he is having one of his best season ever (sounds crazy but it's true)
that's a valid point as well. LaFell had flashes in Carolina but he's a legit weapon now.

better than D:lolbs:loln. even Brady couldn't turn that guy into anything

[Pelicans78]

Romo is more valuable than Murray. They would still have a strong offense without Murray since they have good receivers and o-line.

[spurraider21]

Romo is more valuable than Murray. They would still have a strong offense without Murray since they have good receivers and o-line.
we've seen the pass happy, air-it-out cowboys before with these same weapons, and they're nowhere near as good as the Murray-led squad

[Floyd Pacquiao]

With Romo playing, Murray has only faced a stacked box 16% of the time. With weeden last sunday he went up against a loaded box 40% of the time. Without Romo teams have no respect and would easily shut Murray down as we saw against the cardnals. The cowboys aren't murray led, they're a well balanced team that complement each other nicely, tbh.

[J.T.]

Back half of Colts schedule is pretty easy tbh. If they don't overlook any teams they might only lose one more game the rest of the way. Andrew Luck could have huge days against some of those teams. If the Colts are 12-4 and get the 2 seed (Patriots schedule is brutal as fuck, they'll lose a few more games) and Andrew Luck breaks the yardage record, he'll probably win the MVP.

[J.T.]

Time out, we're talking about Andrew Luck breaking the yardage record in Year 3? :smchode:

[resistanze]

2. Manning

[Seefourdc]

What in the fuck is Demarco Murray doing on anyones list at this point? He's not on pace to break the all time rushing record and in the year that Peterson nearly beat Dickerson he had 6.0 YPC. Demarco Murray isn't even doing anything INTERESTING this year, and if he doesn't get hurt Romo will and tank this whole damn thing. He's also fumbled 5 times losing 3 of them already. He's running on a team with a good offensive line and great passing attack right now. He's not even MVP of his own team. GTFO here.

I'm going with:
1. Brady (Lets be honest, he's carrying some scrubs to the promised land atm)
2. Rodgers
3. Manning
4. Watt (obligatory not quarterback)

From there I feel like it's a wash between a lot of sub par quarterbacking. Lots of guys costing their team too much compared to what they are giving: Romo 18 td 8 int 18 sacks. Rivers 20-8-16. Maybe Ben could take #5 with his lower INT count but 25 sacks is pretty bad.

We shall see!

Anything to PhilBillys rib injury contributing to his cliff dive?

San Diego Union Tribune:
"Not for once did I think he was going to go out of the game," Gates said Sunday. "I watched the guy play with a torn ACL (in the 2007 AFC Championship Game). He takes some shots. He's taken some shots all year. For those who don't know, he's been dealing with a rib injury, a very severe rib injury, so he's been toughing it out these last three or four weeks."

Reached later, Rivers declared himself as "all good," saying he is "no more banged up than any other quarterback in the league."

[vander]

When Rivers has an off day, Chargers are awful. I think if you put and average NFL QB on the Chargers, they would have 1 or 2 wins right now.

The gift and the curse of the NFL, literally every game matters. But this has shaken up to be a very interesting ending to the season in regards to who will miss the playoffs, and how the seeding will end up.

What is interesting to note, is that outside of their week 3 victory over your Packers, they really don't have any major victories (DET). And yes, their last 4 games aside from the finale are pure shit. One can only hope for Chicago to turn into a trap game of sorts. Or the Viking defense scores some TDs in route to an upset.

While your schedule is slightly more difficult, fortunately that Falcon game is home, but the Bills are no joke while being in the mix chasing a playoff spot themselves. From week 8 on, ATL has played decent football if you take a look at it. But the Bills seem to be a better team than their record reflects, just from the eye test. But the Packers are clearly better than all of the teams left on their schedule, if they play B+ football they'll run the table of the last 4 quite easily.

Yeah, I'll be at the Bills game freezing my dick off :lol

And yeah, there are no excuses - GB needs to win @ home vs the Lions in Week 17. Last time they lost to Detroit at Lambeau was 1991. GB can probably drop a game against either ATL, TB and BUF and it really has no impact.

In the last six weeks, Beckham’s 49 catches and 723 yards lead the NFL. Immediately behind him are Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown with 45 receptions and Atlanta’s Julio Jones with 694 yards.

With 723 receiving yards in the last six games, Beckham joins Bill Groman of the 1960 Houston Oilers as the only rookies in NFL history with at least 700 receiving yards in a six-game span.

Despite missing those four games, Beckham is tied with Carolina’s Kelvin Benjamin for second among all rookie receivers with 59 catches. He trails only Miami’s Jarvis Landry, his good friend and former LSU teammate, who has 63 catches. But while Beckham has four fewer catches than Landry, he has 256 more yards.

Beckham’s 829 receiving yards are third among all rookies, behind Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans (935 yards on 57 catches) and Benjamin (848).

Fivehead = MVP for the rest of the league, handing out free wins and rings with his chokes every year.

[Robz4000]

Watt if Houston makes the playoffs, otherwise Rodgers.

[Malik Hairston]

Rodgers and Watt are the only real candidates, tbh..

Based on actual play, it should be Watt IMO, Rodgers isn't having a truly dominant season if you remove his Bears games..I don't know if Watt can win it, though, since he's a defensive player and they don't like giving the MVPs to that side of the ball..

Watt is White, though, so they might actually give it to him:lol..

[HI-FI]

Watt and Rodgers are the only two I've felt have been game changers. Romo deserves consideration but that O-Line and Murray deserve just as much respect. I'd like to see Watt get it but have no problems with Rodgers either.

[Monostradamus]

Gotta be Watt. Giving it to Rodgers, or splitting it with Rodgers/Watt, would be incredibly lame. Don't understand why it's so damn hard to give a non-QB the award when a guy plays clearly above the rest.

[BatManu20]

Rodgers won the MVP a month ago tbh. Watt will finish second, Romo third.

[resistanze]

Watt is clearly the best player in the league and most impactful but they won't give it to him unless he manages to drag his team into the playoffs (eg Adrian Peterson). These are things we know.
