Midseason MVP race - who's your Top 5?

[DeadlyDynasty]

I don't mind that this race is always top-heavy with QB's, since that's what separates the haves and have-nots in this league...

1. Carson Wentz
2. Aaron Rodgers
3. Tom Brady
4. Antonio Brown
5. Ezekiel Elliott

KC is fading, and Hunt/Smith poach votes off each other anyways.

[spurraider21]

Gurley ahead of zeke

[Robz4000]

Wentz
Goff
Brady
Brees
Zeke

[Avante]

The real football is just now starting, it doesn't matter too much what we have seen so far.

[sickdsm]

Some guy called in to Vikings radio after the game today and asked if they thought Adam Thelin should be mvp as of now. Hahaha

[tlongII]

1. Wentz
2. Goff
3. Brady
4. Wilson

[Arcadian]

This hasnt been one of Brown's better seasons, tbh...

Goff or Gurley should be considered.

[spurraider21]

Wilson
brady
wentz

[Avante]

Nobody has us.....wow~~~...like Russell Wilson. The guy is amazing.

We could see the most passing yards/rushing yards combined ever seen in one NFL season from Wilson this season. Yep, another NFL record.

What's so amazing is he's doing all this without BEASTMODE....hahahahaha~~~~~~~~~

It's real obvious all Lynch did was hold him back, he could have been doing what we see today from day one with just any RB.

I love Brees. But can't put him that high. As much as I hate to give him credit, Sean Payton for once came up with a good scheme to utilize his running backs. Of course it helped getting Kamara to pair with Ingram.

The oddsmakers on the 2 sites I provided have him 2nd and 3rd. That is too high. 5th is right around where he should be, imo. Even though the Saints are seen as more of a running team this year, Brees is still 4th in the NFL is passing yards, 1st in completion percentage, and 2nd in passer rating. The comeback against the Redskins was all Brees, however the interception against the Falcons was all on him as well.

Antonio Brown doesn't get enough love.

Yeah...those are great points. I don't think he gets those stats without the great running game.

But now that I look at everything, you're probably right about his being around #5 for MVP. I can't really make an obvious case for someone who should be higher than him, other than the ones already mentioned.

Brady winning would just be a default, easy pick. He’s been solid but not spectacular. Wentz should get it regardless of injury.

[Robz4000]

Yep, at this point it's Brady. Everyone else either got hurt, fell off, or is on the same team cannibalizing each other's votes.

This.

AB's ridiculous, but Le'Veon Bell is what makes that offense tick, imo. They struggled to start the year because Bell was sluggish from the holdout, but once he turned it on the Steelers never looked back. He could be a No. 1 WR or RB on just about every team with that skillset. Take away his unorthodox running style and you still have a RB who runs better routes than WR's, has great hands, picks up the blitz, is situationally smart, and delivers punishment to the defender. He is the perfect football player. Him and Brown aren't likely to get an MVP unless they break 2000yds rushing or receiving, because of poaching.

[spurraider21]

its gonna be brady due to the wentz injury

[Bill_Brasky]

Wentz should be MVP. Watson was on track but didn't play enough. Brady should be second and can the Jags defense get a vote or two?

[Cuppycake Gumdrop]

So this will be the second year in a row that a weak MVP is picked because voters decided not to go with the real MVP due to games missed.

Well, looking back, I forgot that Matt Ryan’s numbers were actually pretty badass, so he deserved it last year way more than Brady deserves it this year.

Congrats to Todd Gurley
