Wait, I thought it was going to Jake the Snake?

Just because Plummer hasn't sucked as bad as everyone has come to expect doesn't mean he should be MVP. I'm still confident he'll remind us all why we think he sucks.

Peyton. Carson is acceptable. How did Brady not make the list?

I don't see how Shaun Alexander isn't the clear favorite here. He is on pace for the best RB season ever.

He's on pace for the best FANTASY RB Season ever.

It must be fun to run against ARI and STL twice. Oh, also, Houston and Atlanta. Also fun to have the two best O-Linemen on the planet blocking for you on your runs to the left. Jacksonville's about average against the run (just run around the end), Dallas is below average, and Washington is above average. In those games he totaled 55 carries for 232 yards (for a 4.2 average). Oh, he also is not a threat at all in receiving.

Coming up on the schedule: two games vs SF, vs Ind, vs. Ten, and vs GB. The only good run defenses coming up are the Giants and Philly. Alexander's production is an illusion.

So you're saying having lots of help should stop a guy from getting the award? Should Peyton not have gotten it last year because he has really good WRs and a really good RB? I understand the strength-of-schedule argument, but I don't count that against him as much as you seem to. Alexander has completely carried the Seahawks this year and firmly established himself as the league's #1 or #2 RB.

So it doesn't bother you that over half of Shaun's schedule has/will come against bottom ten teams against the run?

How about the fact that only one will come against a top ten team against the run?

How about the fact that Maurice Morris is averaging 5.5 ypc?

No, but I'm saying it makes his accomplishments a lot less impressive.
