It's easy, and only takes a few moments.You basically said Cam's not deserving of the MVP, that it's his skin color that's going to win him the award. But it doesn't even make sense, a black man won the award no more than 3 seasons ago, and Cam wouldn't even be the first black QB to win (did Peterson and McNair only win because of "culture?"). Literally nothing about that argument makes sense. Cam was an MVP candidate all year and in the last 4 weeks or so has turned up his play while his competitors fell off. His team has a decent chance of running the table.
Assuming the Pats get everybody back and they meet an undefeated Panthers in the SB, who will be the favorite?
Tom Brady is clearly the MVP of the league right now.
Sadly, the media/league would love nothing more than to give it to Cam Newton instead, for a bunch of reasons.
Tom Brady (12 games)
34 total TDs
6 INTs
3,957 total yards
102.8 QB Rating
Cam Newton (12 games)
32 total TDs
10 INTs
3272 total Yards
93.2 QB Rating
Carson Palmer is also in the running, though I think it will ultimately come down to Brady vs Newton.
What do you guys think it will take for Brady to win the MVP this year?
I think for him to have a chance, the Patriots need to get the #1 seed in the AFC and the Panthers have to drop at least one game.
There is precedent for co-MVPs. Just sayin.
Find me one stat site that has this mystery creation. Equating a passing yard to a rushing yard is as dumb as it gets. Regardless, If Brady doesn't win, you'll just blame Goodell anyone....you got it covered.
Fabricated stats, automatic excuse....Homer Central
Injuries are what is going to cost Brady winning the MVP

Cam wins it. At the moment the Panthers are undefeated and look like staying that way. Even if they don't, Cam would still win because he's never won it before and he's black. He is playing at a MVP level and his story and the 'culture' he is bringing to the league is just too good for voters too pass up even if Brady and Carson threw for 5 TD's every game for the rest of the year.
One thing we should never consider when talking about MVP is stats.
If I had a vote then right now it would go to Cam just based on the fact that the Panthers are undefeated and he's playing lights out recently.
Earlier in the year however Cam was playing pretty average and people were still making ******** reasons for him to be MVP. "Yeah, Tom has better stats but Cam is doing it with more style, inspiring more kids, you want him to be the face of the league and I like the way he plays football" kind of stuff. Basically giving it to Cam because they like him more/what he represents. Most of the players being interviewed were saying that Cam should be the MVP without giving any solid reasons why he should get it over Brady.
Based on that, if the stats are close at all Cam should win the MVP easily. I may be wrong in saying its because he's black (I happen to think there are a lot of people that would prefer a black MVP) but there is definitely a bias towards Cam. It could be because like Bart Scott said they see Brady as 'corn-ball'.
I wasn't trying to be offensive in any way. I just figured the people on here are mature enough to be honest with each other without needing to hide behind the overly PC and SJW mentalities in the regular media.
