Lets try this after week 10.
Make a note that after five weeks it looks like Matt Ryan.
See how he does IN Seattle Sunday, vs Eagles vs Packers.
No way Julio should be on that list. That is ridiculous. He had one game that mega inflated his stats for the overall year in the raw rankings. Tevin Coleman/Freeman have been so much more valuable then Julio and it's really not close (and I love Julio).
Antonio Brown has easily been better than Julio, and despite the record Phillip Rivers has been amazing all things considered (with their injuries).
Nothing against Julio but he is not having anywhere close to an MVP season.
True... take away the 300 yard game and he's been pretty pedestrian. I s'pose I overvalued him here. Coleman & Freeman have been a great 1-2 punch but neither have the individual numbers to be under consideration.
agree with DPG on julio... and (homer alert) you gotta have carr above elliott. not that zeke hasn't been amazing, but QB's generally get the nod. Carr's numbers are fine, but he's also had 2 game winning drives/TD's already, both on the road. the raiders D is giving up 450 yards per game, most in the league... its Carr keeping them afloat in these games. although he didn't have a technical gw drive this week, he did come up with the money throw on 4th down to finally put us ahead
Well back to back losses by Matty choke and an injury to Big Rape and the MVP race is wide open. Brees is off to the best start of his career, on pace for 5,600 yards (would be an NFL record) and 45 td's but isn't even mentioned because of the ty team around him.
1. Brady
2. Elliott
3. McCoy
4. David Johnson
5. Rivers
Brady surging towards frontrunner status.
HH beat me to it.
Brady Elliott Ryan are top 3 right now. Can't really write off Ryan until they fall out of division lead/playoff picture
Yeah if Brady goes 12-0 while throwing the ball to 3 white dudes, he's a lock.
Tom Brady is the best player in the NFL, he is so far superior to all other QB's. And what is the most important position?
That Gronk TD pass was ing beautiful. It's impossible to throw a better ball than that.
Nothing would piss off Goodell more than Brady winning MVP after being suspended. That's why I'm rooting for him to win it.
There ya go AGAIN, sheesh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dude, stop acting like a ing ROOKIE, ok? GIVE THINGS SOME TIME~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shut up, got.
Damn. Aint seen that many tildas since I spent a few weeks in Cabo.
There's just not a lot of candidates anymore as the Falcons have really dropped off lately and the Steelers QB is injured for another month or so. Brady has to be the guy.
1. Cam Newton
2. Russel Wilson
3. Odell Beckham Junior
4. Aaron Rodgers
5. Jay Cutler

CN is not exaggerating. Bosa has completely picked up the at ude of a Charger defense laden with many slackers of years past.
Stats back it up too.
MVP?????????
As incredible as it sounds, at the rate Bosa is going after only 3 games, yes.
JJ Watt?
Brady is still the front runner and the Media Valuable Player award almost always goes to an offensive player and a QB so....
We haven't seen a pass-rusher look this dominant this early in their career in a long time. And unlike Struggle Wilson at the QB position, Bosa didn't walk into the most stacked team of his generation. He came into a team that went 4-12 last year, got off to a 1-3 start this year, and was already so depleted by injuries on defense that we were starting practice squad players.
Despite being one of the few good players left on our defense, he's made veteran O-linemen look silly every week and turned our season around.
Just hand him the DPOY and MVP now.
What is your trip about trying to be so damn judgmental with so little data? You really haven't learned anything? Dude, why the rush? I have seen guys look like a total bust then around year three here they come. We've seen ROOKIE OF THE YEAR....RGIII, what happened?
Why don't you slow down just a little bit guy, stop acting like a teenage girl digging the drummer, ok?
Yes it does appear Bosa has it down, ok...cool. But to be...MY GOD IN HIS...THREE GAMES....
Come on guy.
