How's it feel to play good cop???
I still stand by my belief that Peyton Manning is a curmudgeon that doesn't inherently enjoy the work he is doing. He is still playing for his Dad and still remains scared to death of him. He's boring, sometimes boorish and his story makes for a snore-yawn of a read.
I hope for the NFL's sake, these writers can re-vote, or to be smart, WAIT until AFTER the last game to start handing out the hardware. I'm not sure why this country is so keen on crowning champions halfway thru the season, but they do it year in and year out and it borders on embarrassing.
First post you used stats to determine, then Longtimefan put up the context to why Manning should be voted, and now you say he doesn't deserve because Favre is a better story, or likes to play more?
I think, as evidenced by last year, it's much more important the wins than the stats.
With the comebacks, and the wins, as well as him being basically the whole team, Manning gets it.
Brees could also be in the mix, but Manning is a media darling, and the Saints losing also affects it.
Rivers and Rodgers, no way. Rivers has more chance, but he didn't play the level of Manning, Brees and Favre early in the season.
I think after the AZ game, Favre fell behind.
And if they had gone to the playoffs, Chris Johnson would get it. 0-6 to make the playoffs, while breaking the scrimmage yards record and reaching 2000 yards??? But not making it, it's hard to vote him, considering he's a RB.
He gets the OPoY IMO, though.
And the comeback will go to Brady.
DPoY, Woodson.
Coach of the Year, I'm torn between Payton, Caldwell, Turner and Phillips.
Executive of the Year, I have no idea.
But after Cushing got 90% of the votes, I'm not sure of anything. I thought he would win, but by that much of a margin?
