Manning took a .500 team to the best record (tied) in the AFC. Denver went from #25 in scoring to #2. Peterson was amazing, but RB just isn't as "valuable" as QB. If the award were for "most outstanding" then Peterson has an argument, but it's MVP.
The Vikings were a 3 win team last year. With a week remaining, they are already six games better than that. With a week remaining, the Broncos are only 4 games better. There is no question that Peterson has been more "valuable" than Peyton. Without Peterson, the Vikings would be 3-12 right now. Manning has good young receivers and two good backs to take the load off of him. The only other weapon Minnesota has, Percy Harvin, got injured the first week of November. Think about it this way: The aerial attack of Minnesota is so non existent, that even with missing the past six games, Harvin is still leading receiver for the Vikings.
:lolabove: Denver is #25 in yards per attempt. They are #9 in attempts, but #18 in rushing yards. They don't have much of a running game at all.
But they were a 3-win team with AP for 12 games (and 12 TDs, more than he has this year). Manning is the one responsible for the 5-game swing, because he was the main addition. The Vikings are 6 games better for more reasons than just the fact that AP is off the hook.
Bruce Arians coach of the year
Luck is rookie of the year, went from 2-14 to the 5 seed in the playoffs most expected the redskins to be descent this year before the year started most had the Colts 32nd in the power polls. Luck runs a prostlye offense and has more pass yards and td passes
No one expected the Redskins to be decent. Every "expert" had them finishing last in the East. What about total yards and total TDs?
I heard plenty of people say before the season say Griffin would win rookie of year because he has a better team around him. Luck will have a better record, broke record for most passing yards by rookie, tied for most 4th quarter or Ot comebacks by any qb. We saw last week how much the redskins need griffin
It was Cleveland dude. Plug in Peyton and Indy has 10+ wins. That's all they were missing.
Didn't cousins lead a comeback win the week before also? Griffin is a system qb we have seen this before. Plug peyton in on any team and they are 10 wins. Head coach missed most of season, terrible o line play, d in transition and 4 rookie receivers.
I would say he's in the conversation, but AP has just done too much for the Vikings for me to put Aaron Rodgers over him.
