[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 625945, member: 9033"] Tough to dispute that well-reasoned response but I'll do my best.... How is he MORE important? Keep in mind that the Cardinals were the best team in the NFC last year before Palmer went out, just like the Packers with Rodgers. Palmer can't keep up his level of play but right now he is and the Cardinals look like the best team in the NFL. Now, the Cardinals haven't exactly played a difficult schedule, but they've DOMINATED those teams they've played. As of right now, there are three great QBs in the NFL right now: Brady, Rodgers and Palmer. A different topic but tangential to this discussion is that of those three teams with great QBs, the Cardinals look the best, you can't really dispute that based on what they've done. In 2005 Football Outsiders did a study that showed that dominant wins against great teams are more indicative of an elite team than close wins against quality opponents ([URL]http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2005/fo-fox-guts-and-stomps[/URL]). The Cardinals have a +77 point differential right now, that's insane (for comparison the Pats are second at +49 and the Packers are fifth at +28). In an MVP discussion, if various players are close to one another, then the award generally goes to the best team. The Cardinals have looked like the best team. I fully expect that to change going forward but as of right now, I would think Palmer would be in front due to his team's dominance. [/QUOTE]
