first quarter MVP?

[red]

its gotta be a-rod right?

although stafford is a very close second at this point and of course there's always brady

a-rod is on pace for 48 td's 8 int's and 8 rushing td's

and we haven't exactly played easy teams. the bears and saints both have good d's

[Freak Out]

I'd say Rodgers unanimously at this point. Jennings and friends are pretty damn good but Stafford has fucking Megatron to throw to....

[mraynrand]

Clearly, it's Scott Wells. Without him, the entire O-line would be decimated.

[channtheman]

You asshole! :lol:

[Upnorth]

How about Peyton Manning. Without him the colts have been useless for 1/4 of a season. That hasn't happened in over a decade.

[mraynrand]

You asshole! :lol:

guilty as charged

[rbaloha1]

A-rod

Brady?

[Brandon494]

You have to put Calvin Johnson is the discussion with the way he's playing right now.

[smuggler]

If the season ended today, it would be Calvin Johnson. He's on pace for 32TD receptions. With him, Stafford is on pace for 44TDs. Without him, he is on pace for 12 TDs.

The answer is Calvin Johnson.

[pbmax]

Brady is on a pace for 6000 passing yards and 52 touchdowns.

[smuggler]

Still Johnson. His pacing beats the current record for TD receptions in a season by about 35%

Brady's pace puts him over the yardage record, but only by 15% and two more TDs, or 4% more than his old record. Plus, Rodgers and Stafford are on pace for 48 and 44 respectively and are not on pace for 20 INTs like Brady is.

If it wasn"t stafford throwing to him would he still have the the same sucsess? Who made who? Take away stafford and their o suffers more than losing megatron, so I say no way is megatron mvp. Still playing at an amazingly great level though.

The answer is Calvin Johnson.

Rodgers is on pace for record passing yards, completion pct, YPA, and rating leading the highest scoring offense in the NFL. Also 48 TDs (second only to Brady's 50) passing, 8 rushing.

Calvin Johnson is the best receiver and is a trendy contrarian pick but there's no way he'd get it if everyone stayed on course. Rodgers, *maybe* Brady, but no one else is really that close.

[rbaloha1]

A-rod is on track for 16-0 with excellent stats.

[Joemailman]

Realistically, WR's don't win MVP awards. That said, if CJ did continue his current pace, he would completely obliterate the record for TD receptions. Stafford would probably get the award though.

[MadtownPacker]

Brady is on a pace for 6000 passing yards and 52 touchdowns.
But has he lost a game?

Last time Brady played like that he went undefeated and choked in the SB. But he won the MVP for the regular season.

Based on that ARod is the guy IMO.

[Deputy Nutz]

Aaron Rodgers - he is due. He has become the media's darling locally and nationally. He can do no wrong right now.

Tom Brady - He did have 4 ints in one game alread and lost to the overrated Bills.

Calvin Johnson - best receiver in the game, but he is a receiver and he is black. So he has no shot at winning.

[mmmdk]

Aaron Rodgers; I can't wait to watch AR & Packers live this season.

[Deputy Nutz]

Brett Favre

[channtheman]

Peyton Manning. See how bad the Colts are? Clearly he was the difference.

[Deputy Nutz]

See how bad the Vikings are.

[mraynrand]

See how bad the Vikings are.

The 2009 Favre would have them at least 2-2.

[mraynrand]

Peyton Manning. See how bad the Colts are? Clearly he was the difference.

Normally absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I like Manning even less when he's not playing. At least the helmet prevented us from seeing so many Manning Faces.

If you hold to this logic, Steve Young is your MVP for 10 years running.

HOw about Otto Graham? The Browns were always contenders, then decades of nothing.

10 championships, then zilch. Otto Graham is MVP for all times.

Its not even a question who makes who.

[mraynrand]

When you catch jump balls, like Megatron and Steve Smith have been doing all season, it's obvious who matters most.

You talking about 5'9 Steve Smith? haha yea he hasnt been catching many jump balls.

Not paying close attention there, are you? Smith has made all sorts of circus catches this year - not all technically 'jump balls' but amazing just the same. Check out Carolina games - it's a real treat to watch.

Oh I get what your trying to do by discrediting Newton by saying Smith is making him but its not even close. Stafford has been just throwing it up to Calvin like Favre did against the Raiders

Why don't you just enjoy watching football? AJ green had a nice catch of a pop fly by Andy Dalton this past weekend too.

Too bad, buddy, about your little conspiracy theories. My point - in addition to the fact that that Steve Smith is amazing - would be that QB-receiver combinations typically play off each other - like Manning-Harrison/Wayne or Favre/Freeman or Montana/Young-Rice. In other words, typically Both partners are responsible. In some cases, a lesser QB will be made better by a great WR and vice versa, but a consistent combination requires both.

I think you are very correct in this observation. When two very good / great players collide awesome happens!

Except for the Championship win 1964. Then it was Jim Brown.
