Heres wishing to Brady winning the Post season mvp

BritPat

He's been fantastic.

But it should have been Rivers.

"Regular season MVP" - Microcosm of his career

DarrylS

What a legacy, have to remember the long pouty face in one game, followed up by that great performance in the subsequent game when he hit 4500 yards and then was pulled.... see my sig.

I agree about Rivers, but you have to admit, Manning is the ONLY reason his team is in the playoffs. That Jets game made that startlingly clear.

I really wonder if the Colts pulled Peyton in favor of Painter to make him look that much better when it came to MVP voting. There were a lot of guys that were just as impressive and important to their team as Manning was, if not more.

Brett Favre has amazing numbers and took what was a borderline playoff team last year to being a Super Bowl contender.

Phillip Rivers carried the Chargers on his back to 11 straight wins. I think a lot of people are still under the impression that they're a running team when they're not. They're 31st in rushing. The offense is all Rivers now.

Chris Johnson. Yeah I know the Titans were only 8-8, but he was the reason they even got to .500. 2000+ yards rushing and 500 yards receiving with 16 total touchdowns. Amazing numbers, amazing player. Without him the Titans would've been lucky to get 4 wins this year.

Drew Brees. The Saints were on a historic pace for most of the season. He was just as good as Peyton up until the last few weeks when both of them shut it down.

Like I've said before, if they can give Manning the award, they will. I don't think he deserved it over any of these guys, but hey, whatever.

did not deserve it over Rivers and Brees. The award had become a joke, they'll just give it to Manning unless someone has a season that shatters records.

How did he not deserve it over Rivers or Brees? If go by numbers there isn't much of difference between the 3. However, if you actually watch the games you would see that Manning was the choice. He brought his team back from 7 fouth quarter deficits, and everyone knows if he plays all 16 games they are 16-0. Withouth Peyton the Colts are 4-12.

The Chargers probably would still make the playoffs with Rivers. Volek is one of the best backups in the league. As for Brees, his last 2 home games were terrible, and knocked him out of the race.

I hate Manning as much as most Pats fans, but this choice was a layup.

You nailed it. I know Rivers has many detractors on this board but he had a helluva good season for a 13-3 team w/o a solid running game and yes, the Chargers are no longer LTs team.

Brees was on pace to capture the award, but as you point out the Saint's end of season slide may have hurt him a little for MVP consideration.

Manning was also once again excellent this year and the Colt's running game is also something less to be desired, but for the same rationale as discounting Brees, Manning's end-of-the-year mail in job should also have been factored into the voting.

Johnson was spectacular, but for an 8-8 team he didn't get the exposure.
