Peyton took an already middle of the road team and made them elite, Peterson took a pretty bad team, with a pretty below average QB and brought them to the playoffs. He's more valuable.
Had the Vikings lost that game, Peyton should've won it, but with Peterson's Vikings making the playoffs...I don't even think it'll be all that close.
At the near end of the game today, AP was carried off the field by his own teammate. That says it all.
Most likely when Peyton has an off day.When do they announce MVP again? I forget every year.
You underestimate the man crush the media has on the mannings.
It's honestly no different than the crush they have on Brady...QBs are the face of a franchise and successful QBs are praised by the media probably more than they deserve. They also put a lot of blame on them when things go wrong, it's the NFL, that's how things work...
Don't even start. It's comparable.
And I don't believe this is a debate.
Who would you take? A RB with probably the best season ever for a running back that took his absolutely terrible team to the playoffs. Or a QB who has a pretty good season, but nothing unheard of, actually it's not nearly as good as Rodgers a year ago or Brady two years ago, that took his already playoff team to a 1st seed with a cakewalk schedule beating nobody?
Don't start what? I'm confused as to which point you're trying to make here...
I already said I think AP is the clear MVP and it's not even really a debate.
If you want to argue that the media treats the Manning's better than they treat Brady, I'll argue that all day. The media overhypes all QBs and under hypes most other positions. The elite QBs all receive ridiculous treatment, and with Brady and Manning being the two best, it's the same ridiculous treatment. The only reason anyone would deny that is if they're a big PM fan or Tom Brady fan...
I love Peyton, but he hasn't always been a Bronco...I can see how he's treated and it's the same as what it is for Brady.
If that's not what you're arguing then I think we're on the same page; AP is the MVP.
Adrian Peterson won the MVP today. I won't be surprised if he wins 2 of the 3 major individual trophies (MVP, OPOY, CPOY).

Don't be silly, guys of course Peyton deserves the MVP! Didn't you see what he did this year? He took at team that made the playoffs last year, and even made it to the divisional round, and he TOOK THEM TO THE PLAYOFFS! It is truly unprecedented for a quarterback to take a battle-tested playoff team to the playoffs. Even more unprecedented are his good-but-not-historically-good numbers. There were quarterbacks who put up better numbers, but out of those quarterbacks ZERO of them were named Peyton Manning. Sure some other player (Adolf Peters or something) singlehandedly led a 3-13 squad to the playoffs while putting up some of the best numbers in NFL history, capping it off with a big run at the end of the game to put his team in position for a game-winning field-goal, but Peterson put up a mere ZERO passing touchdowns all season. ZERO PASSING TOUCHDOWNS. It's a joke that anyone would ever mention him! When you take all of these factors into consideration, it is obvious that Manning should not only win the MVP but also be inaugurated as the next President of the United States, and possibly as the Divine Ruler of the Universe.
