With the way some of you think, I'm surprised you werent clamoring for MJD to be MVP last year. Led the league in rushing despite one of the worst supporting casts in the modern era.
The Vikings currently own the second wild card spot, so to act as if they are already eliminated is pretty dumb. I'm not giving him the MVP right now, there is still 2 games left in the season. If he leads the Vikes to the playoffs (will be tough), he should win MVP for the aforementioned points I made. Comparing him to MJD is kind of stupid, the Jags had no shot of making the playoffs last year.
If you dont understand the comparison, then that's on you. The Vikings have 2 games left against brutally hard opponents, so the playoffs arent happening. So he'll go 9-7 AT BEST and miss the playoffs--zomg ing wow! MJD had a 10x worse supposrting cast and put up great #'s. Moral of the story: Giving a League MVP award to a RB is like flushing the award down the ter. They just dont impact the game like an elite QB does--not in today's NFL.
Actually Russell Wilson should be MVP.
You're 55 y/o, alone, and have orange hair and manboobs. Please forgive me if i dont take you seriously.
You're right. Minny has a decent QB right? Oh wait, they don't.
Which is exactly why they're not contenders and have zero impact on the endgame. Congrats on finally getting it, mama'd be so proud.
So it wasn't you that said Marshawn Lynch is carrying the Seahawks now (when he carried them to 5-11 seasons before) discrediting Wilson's impact but is now claiming RBs don't have that big of an impact on the game? Ok I got it.
Yup, and the seahawks arent contenders either. Unless of course you want to argue otherwise, then by all means...
The Vikings shouldn't even be in playoff contention WITH Peterson.
Ok, so this is your case for AP winning both awards (when you filter through all the bull ): The Vikings are mediocre instead of bad!
Btw, when did Marshawn Lynch lead the Seahawks to a 5-11 record? Take your time with this one.

At best they will go 10-6. I'm not crowning him right now. You ever hear of the phrase, "Any Given Sunday"? On Peterson's shoulders, they can definitely make the playoffs, even if they lose 1 game out of the next two. Let's wait and see.
And based on how you define the MVP award, why not just rename it to the QB of the Year award?
homers are so adorable. "Any given sunday, we can do it guys!"
Let me help you out, kid, since you're obviously new to the game. First, welcome...it's always nice to see new fans. Second, as a Vikings fan, you'll learn to temper your optimism and accept disappointment.
They have to win @ a Houston team playing for HFA throughout. Loss. Then they have to play a Packers team that may be fighting for a bye if the Seahawks win this week. So get 10-6 out of your system.
As for the MVP award, the QB is the most important position in all of professional sports. Again, you'll learn these things as you become more familiar with the game.
If Peterson goes HAM and breaks the record and the Vikes end up in the playoffs, he's MVP.

Cool .gif...something else to ponder (get it?!):
We all know Peyton has a greater impact on the league than AP. What's shocking, however, is how little impact AP has over individual games. For example, he rushed for over 200 yds on 10.0 ypc and a TD against the Packers, yet the Vikings still lost by 2 scores. Against the Bucs: 120+ yds, td, horrible loss. 180 yds and 2 TDs against Seattle--2 score loss. @Bears: 100+ yds, blowout loss. Are you getting it yet?
Is he the reason they won against the Rams and some other teams? Yes, but therein lies the rub. His greatness does not carry his team to a win regularly. It's a coinflip. When Peyton's at the top of his game, you can best believe the Broncos just stomped somebody out.
If he rushes for somethin like 200+ yards w/2tds in victories against the Texans/Pack, then sign me up.
Otherwise, enjoy your Comeback Player of the Year award, AP. You deserve it.
Any given sunday, tbh.

Crow eaten...congrats.
Held him under a bill and lose by three scores. Only the Texans.
Ponder, Rudolph, Gerhart, and the defense carried the team today. Just like they did (along with Harvin) for the first 6 weeks
Lol crow is your favorite dinner. Just sit your wanna be know it all ass down. You've been terrible.
Philip Rivers anyone? His ability to fumble the ball is unlike no other, no one can match him.
But seriously, Rivers is a great QB, and has shown it at times this year, the major reason why he has done so badly is because of the horrific o-line. We'd be superbowl bound if our O was anywhere near as good as our D. Back to the original question, no matter how much I hate the Donkeys, I think Peyton deserves MVP.
