He's playing with John Skelton?
Is the MVP IMO..
I love Peyton and what he's done for the Broncos' culture, but Peterson is 290 yards away from the NFL record, and he's playing with arguably the worst starting QB in the NFL..
He's playing with John Skelton?
Ponder is just as bad IMO..he's useless against defenses that focus entirely on Peterson, he doesn't even succeed in play-action sets either, tbh..
I agree
He's not as bad as Skelton, but he's bad enough where if Minny makes the playoffs or maybe if they just go 9-7 AP deserves the MVP.
Not to mention (even though it has no bearing on MVP or not) he's doing this coming off of a major knee injury. Just an incredible season from this guy.
If the Vikings make the playoffs, I believe AP deserves the MVP. This Vikings team is just a year removed from a 3-13 record and their play from their QB has been abysmal. He has consistently put up great games against opposing defenses that are putting 8 in the box (sometimes 9) less than a year from a catastrophic knee injury. Manning has been very impressive and has certainly improved the Broncos passing attack, but I believe the nod goes to Peterson, he deserves it.
See now this is a team that the runningback carries.
He's almost certainly going to break erson's rushing record. Even if they lose out, he's gotta be the MVP for that and the reasons already mentioned.
He's gotta average about 150 yards per game in the next two. Next week they play the Texans and the following week they got the Packers. It's not going to be easy, but I'm definitely rooting for him. That being said, I think he has better odds at breaking the record than the Vikes do at making the playoffs.
For AP to be doing what he's doing in this pass happy league coming off a serious injury like that........he's MVP.
AP is having an amazing individual season. He came back from a huge injury and is having a special comeback year. For that, he should win Comeback Player of the Year or share it with Manning
As for MVP, it is Peyton Manning. His impact on all of his teammates say why. They all follow his lead and maintain their focus. He has changed the culture of the Broncos. His team is riding a 9 game winning streak and are in position for a bye. AP will miss the playoffs. You don't give the MVP to someone who doesn't make the playoffs. The MVP is not only about who is more important, but who also elevates the level of play from their team.
I highly doubt AP will break erson's single season record. Both the Texans and Packers are playoff teams that are amongst the top 15 in rush defense, 5th and 14th respectively. I'm sure both these defenses are well aware of the record and they will gear up to try and stop the run.
He'll probably get both MVP and comeback awards if he breaks the record.
Well I just have to say that opposing defenses always gear up to stop Adrian Peterson because he is the only offensive force the Vikings have (now even more so since Harvin is gone). And the truth is, it doesn't matter. He has his highest rushing total (an NFL record) against the Bears a few seasons ago when they were no.1 in the league in rush defense. Adrian has already dismantled the Packers once this year and I can see him doing it again in Minnesota. I don't think it is a guarantee to break the record but it is well within the realm of possibility. And don't count the Vikings out just yet, if they find a way to beat the Texans this week, I like their chances against Green Bay. And if they make the playoffs, it would be almost solely because of Peterson, who would be deserving of the MVP.
Exactly he's number 1 in yards after contact so he's getting hit but not stopped
Christ you're stupid.
It was great he was on the league and they were able to reuse a plot point from earlier in the season
He runs angry.
He runs like a got.
He runs like a murderer. Oh wait...
If anyone really thinks he'll win both MVP and CPY, then you are a mongoloid.
Record or not, his absolute ceiling is CPY and OMVP. He's on a team that will not make the playoffs and will be lucky to even finish over. 500. Meanwhile, you have a QB who missed an entire year, got cut, then proceeded to lead the Donks to a 13-3 (on an 11-game winning streak to boot) record.
Not to mention running backs have a shorter career span. How many wins would the Vikings have without AP?
And
AP's team won't make the playoffs, so his 2100 yards are pretty much all for naught....but yeah, lets give him the MVP as an atta-boy.
Peyton, otoh, has single-handedly shifted the balance of power in the AFC (and arguably to the AFC).
