Aaron Rodgers As Superbowl MVP?

[Scott Campbell]

Is he the favorite heading into the game? How sweet would that be.

[Joemailman]

As long as it's a Packer, I don't much care who it is. Actually, I think it would be pretty cool to see Driver or Woodson get it. Those guys will have few if any more chances in a Super Bowl. Arod will be around for a while.

[vince]

This isn't exactly earthshattering, but I'd say, perhaps even more than most games, Arod is the key to the game for the Packers. The D will be there but Arod needs to show up too. If he does, he's the MVP.

Bowk, Bowk, Bowk!

something about counting eggs before they're hatched

[Guiness]

Agreed on the eggs thing. A little early indeed.

My pick for Super Bowl MVP? Mathsay! Think of the precedent, an STer won it last time!

[AtlPackFan]

IMHO, is going to be hard for Aaron to put up MVP#s against Pittsburg's D. My thought would be someone you wouldn't necessarily expect...maybe JJ, Jordy, Tramon, one of the LBs other than Mathews, etc.

Speculating about his chances of winning it is somewhat anticlimactic after the fact.

By definition, because then you are no longer speculating about future events. I'm commenting on the wisdom of speculating in the first place. But don't let me spoil your fun just because I'm a dour bastard - speculate away!

How awesome would it be for the Packers to win the Super Bowl and Aaron Rodgers named the MVP?

[vince]

Pittsburgh is the leading defense in the league against the run and has the most sacks in the league. If the Packers win it will likely be because Arod avoids the rush relatively well and has success against their relatively average pass defense. JMO. If Rodgers doesn't effectively mix it up like he usually does in the passing game and hit a lot of receivers, the Packers don't win.

No worries; that's what's gonna happen. Add some spicy Slocum magic & presto Lombardi Trophy a la Green Bay Packers.

Why is Pittsburgh such a hard word to spell?

That's what I'm thinking too... let's just win this damn thing and then who cares who's MVP... as long as it's a member of the "Pack".... I'm getting a little unsettled by all the assumptions of greatness. It ain't over til it's over... GO PACK GO!!!

[Lurker64]

The amusing thing is, that if Rodgers were to win the MVP... you could already count him ahead of his predecessor who has only one ring and no superbowl MVPs.

Just used to seeing Shittsburgh.....

That would be priceless.... not amusing...PRICELESS.....

[Tony Oday]

I would like James Jones got sweet odds!

Just remember what they teach in Eastern Pennsylvanian schools. Each town has an H; Harrisburg has the h first because its first city of the state (the capital). Pittsburgh has an h at the end because its a hellhole.

Which, while possibly true long ago, is no longer true. Pittsburgh is a beautiful city these days. But its going to be depressed in a week's time.

Pot Stirrer!

Which is good, because this will get Bretsky's hex apparatus in high dudgeon.

Whilst I am in full disagreement with your viewpoint of Pittsburgh as a "beautiful city", I will respectfully defer to your assessment.... my experience is the polar opposite of what one might consider a trip through a "beautiful city"... it was anything BUT for me...

Completely agree. Woodson and Driver and both class acts and I would love to see them get a ring.I would also say Clifton ,but I mean I don't think an offensive lineman could ever get MVP even if he played amazing.

FUN

BORING

This is a forum where we openly hope for things and talk about what might come. Nothings more boring than sitting around and talking about what already happened to the fine points of detail. I, personally, take pride in seeing trends and using them to make educated guesses at the future.

Bump.

A fair point, there are still portions of Pittsburgh that are not exactly spectacular vistas, much of the city has recovered nicely from its mid-70s funk. Much cleaner and more vibrant now than when I first visited. And I love the hills in the city. Great fun to drive around on.

Nicely done. It was a QB though, but still, nicely done.

[Patler]

But it can be hell to find an address in! With the hills, ravines, bridges and tunnels plotting a route can be a challenge, and GPS systems go wacky there, losing satellite contact.

All true. I heard that one of the first cable TV operations in the country was in Pennsylvania, because with only two major cities at opposite ends of the state and a still quite hilly mountain range, a large number of citizens could not get good reception from conventional antennas. Thus, cable TV was used to solve the reception problem. With one major antenna array somewhere high, wires could bring the signal to the town.

Way to jinx things, Joe!!!!

[run pMc]

The monkey is off his back!

[denverYooper]

Aaron Rodgers had a great game and certainly deserved the MVP. I would have put Greg Jennings in that conversation too, though. He only had 4 catches but 3 of them one were huge impact plays (TD, TD, big 3rd down conversion). He also recovered Swain's "fumble" that was ruled incomplete.

Deserved MVP award with a Montana type performance.

Thanks, but it was just a simple prediction.




Or were you talking about Aaron?
