I don't think Brees has been that great this season. He was great against the Dolphins and Bears, good against the Cards, but average the other games.

I agree with you. Brees has been good, but I'd give more credit to the Saints defense for the turnaround than what Brees has been doing. I don't think I'd put him in the top 5 MVP candidates right now.

1 Peyton
2 Luck
3 Lynch
4 Charles
5 Rodgers

so you credit the saints success to their D but you have Marshawyn Lynch as an mvp candidate?

not sure why Watt would be the DPOY so far, imho it shpuld be Talib's and it's not even close.. Don't get me wrong, i expect Watt to win it and deservedly so, but so far he has not imho been the best defender.

[HarlemHeat37]

Watt has actually been dominant according to every scout/metric, tbh..also, according to all the analysis I've read, he's being double teamed more than any player in the league, yet still producing..

Talib has been great, but corners generally have less impact than front 7 players, and I'm not even sure Talib has been better than Verner and Sherman, tbh..

[J.T.]

Luck has had some incredible wins this year. Would like to see them dominate some of the lesser opponents coming up on their schedule consistently. They do seem to play down to their compe ion, but even if they are they're virtually a lock to win the division even with the Wayne injury. I'll say this about Luck...if the Colts don't struggle replacing Wayne's production, Luck should get a ton of bonus points in the MVP vote for that. I think we're about to see just how good Luck really is. Lotta people last year used Reggie Wayne as a reason to prop up RG3 over Luck, saying RG3 didn't have a player as good as Wayne to throw to. Well now neither does Luck. Let's see what happens.

To be fair, the Seahawks offense has been much better than the Seahawks defense this season. That's not the case with the Saints.

never said that, tbh. don't see how a running back can be an mvp candidate on a team with solid qb play and an elite defense

Was just about to post asking where the Megatron love is at. I might actually put him 3 above Stafford because of the Green Bay game. Stafford was lost that day without him. I love Stafford and he still has not hit his prime, only 25, but Megatron is on another planet (cybertron). lol

I actually edited it last second and flip-flopped those 2. Could go either way. Megatron simply isn't fair on a football field, but Stafford's GW-drive against Dallas gives him the nod imo. Perfect passes to Durham and CJ, followed by faking both teams out and sneaking for the win. Throw in 488 yards and he's killing it this year. Either way, no issue at all if someone else ranks CJ higher.

If we started a team from scratch and all players were available for the draft I would take Megatron #2, behind only Luck.

HM to Brees and Brady--they'll be on the list next week if they continue to build on their performances…too inconsistent as of yet though. You could also give it to Rodgers--the Packers look like a 1AA team w/o him.

I think Brees moved back into the top 5 after last night. He is 2nd in the NFL is passing yards, TDs, and passer rating (behind Manning in all). He has Stafford beat in every statistical category, including wins. I think Luck took a shot with that loss yesterday.

No beef with someone switching Brees for Stafford. #1 is pretty much a lock and Calvin is so goddamn good and game-changing that he deserves #2 at this point imo.

You mean that ing system QB?

Not one of his better takes, that's for sure

Why is Big Ben left off your list, DeadlyDynasty? Go ahead and disrespect him and the Steelers. We will see who is laughing when the Steelers are the last team standing in February.

I think he's trolling. He left EJ Manuel off that list too. It's like he didn't even watch the Bills game.

[The Gemini Method]

1.)Peyton Manning - Just unbelievable a season. 2.)LeSean McCoy - Shady has been doing the Lord's work in Cheesesteakville. 3.)Drew Brees - Breezus has been tougher than nails. 4.)Calvin Johnson - Megatron is the only thing worth noticing out of Motown. 5.)Marshawn Lynch - Beastmode devouring folks like skittles .

[spurraider21]

LeSean McCoy is NOT getting more MVP votes than Brees

[Clipper Nation]

1. Peyton Manning - big stats in the regular season per par
2. Calvin Johnson - Megatron is a beast
3. Drew Brees - great season being overshadowed by Peyton
4. LeSean McCoy - NFL's leading rusher
5. Luke Kuechly - complete bull that defensive players never even get considered

[The Gemini Method]

LeSean McCoy is NOT getting more MVP votes than Brees

What does the le of this thread say? This ain't the official MVP ballot.
