NFL: NFL MVP to this point in the season?

[Trap Jesus]

Threw Freeman in as well, although it seems to be a very QB-centric race, as per usual.

[Falco Lombardi]

No Cam?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Tom Brady and it's not close.

 

[Tuggy]

Brady.

On pace for 5,477 passing yards, 43 passing TDs, and 3 INT. Leads the best team in football and has to win games by throwing the ball 30-50 times every game with virtually no running game.

 

[Best In The Game]

Tom Brady. Not even close. End of discussion. Rodgers has been mediocre. Good thing the defense has been able to bail him out.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Rodgers has been good. Not his usual great self. Last few weeks he's been pretty average.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Yeah, my man Brady, no doubt 'bout it, yo.

 

[What the Faulk]

Only the biggest Patriots homers would say this isn't even close. Dalton is right there with Brady. But I'll give the edge to Tom for now because of less surrounding talent.

I'm not a Patriots homer or fan and say its not close. Tom Brady is playing at a crazy level.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Went with Brady as well, but I do think you could make a legit argument for Dalton.

No Cam?

Didn't really see Cam as on par statistically with the other QBs. Didn't include anyone from the undefeated Broncos either.

 

[Best In The Game]

I'm not a Patriots fan. He is just destroying everybody right now. You wouldn't happen to be a Colts fan are you?

Who, me? No. I went with Brady as well.

This is my problem with MVP being called MVP and not Best Player. I'm stunned that Carolina with one weapon and a bad o line is undefeated and it's because of how great Newton has been.

If you take Dalton away from Cincy and Newton away from Carolina, which team is in better shape? I think 99 percent would say Cincinnati is, thus Newton is more valuable than Dalton.

I hear you. I always hate that about "MVP." There should definitely be a "Best Player" and an "MVP" in both hockey and football.

Yeah, this came up in the last MVP thread when I said Rodgers > Brady, but the majority of voters are just stat heads who sort by touchdowns thrown and write down the name at the top of the list.

Well, I am one of the biggest Patriots homers

If you take Brady off the Patriots, they are dead in the water. Cam does have a good defense to fall back on.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Brady AINEC.

That team would be #1 overall fodder without him. Defense sucks, o-line is sub-par, no run-game.

 

[zombie kopitar]

I feel like the OP got the nominees perfect.
Think how all these respective teams finish will determine alot.
If Dalton or Newton's team end up with a better record than the Pats , they might get it.
Brady's a machine though

Palmer has been incredibly poised as well, that team is extremely complete though. I'm hoping they make it to the Super Bowl

Voted Dalton for doing almost as much as Brady with less to work with.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Voted Dalton for doing almost as much as Brady with less to work with.

AJ Green + Giovani Bernard + Jeremy Hill + Tyler Eifert + Mohamed Sanu + Marvin Jones is less then what Brady has to work with?

+ one of the best O-Lines in the league

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Uh nobody has MORE to work with.

Cincy has the best collection of talent in the league.

If Andy Dalton has turned the corner, they are the team to beat in the NFL.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Let's go, Brady.

 

[TNT87]

Brady easily.
