If you don't lead your team to the playoffs, you're not getting the MVP, simple as that. That's not only MY belief, but the belief of voters for over 30 years now.
That is why they have offensive/defensive player of the year awards. Anyone saying "Rivers is the MVP right now" does not understand what the award means. It is not for the best statistical performance.
And just to be clear, this has NOTHING to do with me having an anti-Chargers bias or something. I made it loud and clear that Rivers should of won the MVP in 2008. He made the playoffs, won the division, had better stats and then even BEAT Manning in a playoff game that year. That was just absolute nonsense to me that Manning won.
Manning's Colts are also not a playoff team right now so he is also not a MVP candidate if the season ended today. That's just a fact. People in this topic are criticizing the system instead of discussing if Brady is in the actual MVP race, which he is right now.
So a month from now when the Chargers are in first and Rivers production doesn't change, he can be MVP...cool/thread
