Re: I Can\'t Believe What I am about to type
Plummer? How is he the MVP?? He's playing solid, don't get me wrong, but MVP? For 13 TD passes in nine games and a middle of the pack rating?
Walter Jones, I really like that as an outside the box pick. Steve Smith would be my MVP. The guy is the only weapon on that offense and the Panthers are scoring points and winning games. They sure aren't getting anything from the other receivers or the running game. MVP is almost always a QB though, which I strongly disagree with. |

Re: I Can\'t Believe What I am about to type
you have to do more than not mess up to be MVP, lots of QBs meet this qualification right now...Brady, Manning, Hasselbeck.
the only difference is that everyone expects plummer to play like a tard, but that shouldn't make him MVP right now i gotta go steve smith, but i bet it will be someone else by the end of the season id guess, LT,Shaun A., maybe Edge |

The only QB who is playing better for a premier team is Carson Palmer. Out of the QB's rated higher than Plummer McNabb, Brady, and Bledsoe - Team not good enough Delhomme, Brees, and Peyton - Might not even by their own teams MVP Roethlisberger- Too many injuries That leaves Plummer in IMO as one of the top 2 QB's in the MVP race, and I think Plummer is slightly better candidate than Carson because Dewnver will end with more wins than the Bengals. |

Re: I Can\'t Believe What I am about to type
Brady's just been carrying his team. His defense is sucking, he doesn't have a run game, and the guy is still winning football games on top a division, despite how bad it is. With a normal QB, the Pats would have folded by now.

Whatever. He's a system quarterback.

Re: I Can\'t Believe What I am about to type
MVP is either LT2 or Shaun.

Re: I Can\'t Believe What I am about to type
I'll second the Ladanian vote. (As a NYer, even saying "LT2" is too close to saying "LT," which is sacred, so I just call him Ladanian.)
As an aside, does anyone know where to get a hold of some old football games on film? I'm specifically interested in watching LT(1). Torrents would work... |

'Best QB on a top-tier team' is basically the Heisman voting process and looking back at guys like McNair and Gannon winning MVPs, the NFL voting criteria might not be much different. |

Furthermore most of these QB's are on top 5 teams in the NFL. Therefore based on previous voter trends the most likely canditates for the MVP award are Peyton, Roethlisberger, Carson, Plummer, Delhomme, and Hasselbeck. Earlier I stated my reasoning for why Peyton, Roethlisberger, Carson, and Delhomme should not be MVP, and I think Hasselbeck falls into the category where he is not the MVP of his own team. While there maybe a problem with the mindset of voters, based on there mindsets recently I think Plummer and Carson are one two in the MVP race. |

Re: I Can\'t Believe What I am about to type
Really, Peyton isn't the MVP of his own team. Right. I mean, he's doing so well because they're just stacking the box for Edge - right?
Shaun Alexander? See: Walter Jones. |
Re: I Can\'t Believe What I am about to type
I think that since we are talking about who is the MVP right now the MVP must be on a team who is in the playoffs right now. I'll go over the teams and their potential MVP canidates
Pats: Brady Steelers: No one (Roethlisberger hasn't been healthy enough) Bengals: Carson Colts: Peyton, Edge (I think the Colts have too many key players for one to be the MVP) Jaguars: No real canidates Broncos: Plummer Giants: Tiki Bears: No one Panthers: Steve Smith Falcons: Vick, Dunn (Neither of them really deserve it just two names that I thought I'd put down) Bucs: No one Seahawks: Shaun This leaves us with QBs: Brady, Carson, Plummer Rbs: Shaun, Tikit WRs: Steve Smith If you look at QB's Carson is leading in every major category except picks where he has thrown 5 to Brady's 4 and Plummers' 3 so he is clearly the top QB Rbs: Shaun is just having a much better year than Tiki This leaves us with three finalists Carson Palmer, Shaun Alexander, and Steve Smith Now as well as Carson has been playing I just don't think he has had as big an impact as Shaun and Steve Smith so I'm down to these two and I just think that I give it Shaun because he has more of impact just because he touches the ball almost every other play. |

[/ QUOTE ] I'll clarify Peyton has been playing very well however one could make an argument that Edge or Freeney have been the MVP thus far. IMO if one is the league MVP they must be indisputably the MVP of their team and I don't think one can say that about Peyton unequivocally. Like they can say it about some other guys. |
Re: I Can\'t Believe What I am about to type
Yeah, one could make an argument for them. I could make an argument for the world being flat. It'd still be a very [censored] stupid one.

Considering Edgerrin James is averaging give or take 100 yards and a TD game saying he is MVP could make sense. |
Re: I Can\'t Believe What I am about to type
Okay, let's get two things straight:
1) In terms of skill positions (RB, WR, TE, QB), the most valuable player in terms of production will always be a QB. Why? a. There is much more depth at RB than QB. Anthony Wright, Kyle Orton, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Charlie Batch, etc, etc. Who's the Kyle Orton of RBs? Kevan Barlow? Marcell Shipp? The best QBs are much better relatively to other QBs than is the case with RBs b. If that weren't enough, the top QB will generally have over 100 more passes+runs than the top rb will have touches. 2) On any great team, the QB is most likely the MVP, but he will never be the only good player. Great teams usually have good defense, or special teams, or running games, or O-Lines. Looking for a person in a specific situation is retarded; we're asking: who added the most value, in terms of points, to their team? As far as I can tell, that person has been Tom Brady... |

[/ QUOTE ] OK, I see where you're coming from. Personally I still think that Plummer's season is just too ordinary to win it. I think realistically Shaun Alexander is the frontrunner right now. His numbers are as extraordinary as some of the past RB MVP winners, or on that pace anyway. |

[/ QUOTE ] Also most of your examples of QB's are backups who are only playing because of injuries so instead of comparing them to Barlow and Shipp you should be comparing them with artose pinner and jonathan wells. You cannot compare qb with other positions using yardage you need to accept the fact that the play completely different positions and you need to compare them relative to everyone else at their position. Joey Harrington has more passing yards than Shaun Alexander does rushing yards does that mean he deserves MVP more than him? |
Re: I Can\'t Believe What I am about to type
But the big problem is that QB's get way more touches than most RB's do. A QB will often throw it 40 times a game, and no RB gets 40 touches a game.

Re: I Can\'t Believe What I am about to type
Do a control-f of the whole topic for yards. Before this post, it was only mentioned in your two posts.
I'm saying that QBs have the ability to generate more value because they touch the ball much more often. As for your backups comment - Artose Pinner hasn't embarrassed himself, Aaron Stecker and Antowain Smith have done okay, Jonathan Wells is averaging 4.1 ypc. Willie Parker did pretty well early in the year. Larry Johnson's been better than Priest. Ricky Williams has come on strong the last couple of games. Hell, Samkon Gado scored 3 TDs today. I think it's safe to say that there's much more depth at RB than there is at QB. |
Re: I Can\'t Believe What I am about to type
MVP--Steve Smith
Best offensive player Tomlinson Tomlinson is the best player in the league though so I see no problem in him winning the MVP. (and he can throw like a QB [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) |
