I would say most of Walton Payton's career is a better example.
Jim Brown never won an NFL championship, and he played on some mediocre teams.
Archie Manning had lousy record.

Teammates say Aaron Rodgers is 'hands down' the MVP
Mike Spofford ... packers.com senior writer
Comment woodbuck27:
I would say that above any official award that this is most valuable to Aaron Rodgers from a personal standpoint.
After yesterday there is no doubt ARod is the man. He was like in 300, he gave them nothing and took everything from them (fuck suh)!!
Crown his ass!!
There is this (not that it is totally respected). There have been times this season when we've read that Aaron Rodgers 'is' the greatest QB the NFL has ever seen :

5 NFL MVP Candidates For 2014 Season

R - E - L - A - X.
Smarter heads will prevail.
It will be Aaron Rodgers.
My evaluation of JJ Watt goes beyond sack statistics. The fact that he gets a ton of sacks from the defensive tackle position is just a cherry on the protein shake.
You'll just have to accept that I am a football genius and can see things that you can't. You'll understand when you are older.
BTW, is it that hard to sack Peyton Manning?
I dunno. You are the genius. Maybe you have the ability to decipher what this chart has to say on the subject.

If you take the award for face value its almost impossible for a non-QB to win, much less a defensive player.
Talking heads on ESPN radio today think its an easy win for a rod
My vote has to go to Watt... It's either Watt or Rodgers, but what Watt has done this year is otherworldly.
Murray set the single season rushing record, breaking Smith's mark. That's a huge deal considering what Smith ran behind. If you watch the Cowboys this year, a ton of their passing game is short stuff, very safe. Not awe inspiring, but still capable of beating any team out there.

Matt Chatham: NFL MVP Discussion Meaningless When Comparing Unlike Things
by: NESN Staff on Mon, Dec 29, 2014 at 8:54AM
Romo played well this year...but the reason why his QBR was so high is entirely due to the running game he had this year. That is the difference between this year and all the others where Romo has come up short. So do you give the credit to Romo or Murray?
For all the MVP candidates, they should just judge them by what gifts they gave their teammates.
Don Banks of "Sports Illustrated" said on the wireless that the MVP race is close this year, in his opinion. He mentioned Rodgers, Watt, Romo. I wonder if the chatter is close, but actual vote will be Rodgers landslide. I think Rodgers will get benefit of lifetime achievement.
I disagree. LT was otherworldly. Watt is dominating...but he also played an incredibly weak, cupcake filled schedule. That isn't otherworldly. Watt isn't getting 20+ sacks back in 1986. He's getting numbers in a much different NFL. LT racked up 3 sacks in both regular season games against the Redskins...who finished 12-4 in 1986 and were an elite team back then who the Giants also had to beat in the NFCC game.
Watt racks up 3 sacks twice against the 2014 Jacksonville Jaguars.
You tell me Wist. Which is more otherworldly?
Romo doesn't belong in an honest discussion for the MVP. Its Rodgers and Watt, and that decision is really a decision of what the award means.
Watt has been much better compared to other defensive lineman than Rodgers has compared to other QB's for sure. But giving the award to a defensive player on a non-playoff team means bending the award more from its literal meaning than has ever been done. Rodgers is worth more towards the goal of winning football games than three JJ Watts. It could happen, Peter Kings said he's splitting his vote.
Lawrence Taylor changed the way NFL teams draft Left Tackles. He didn't change the game, he changed the front office. Any comparison is null and void.
I read a mock and Rodgers got ~28 votes, Watt about 20. Seems like it'll be close, but Rodgers will win.
What has Aaron Rodgers done to screw this up ..... since Week 14?

NFL MVP Projection: Aaron Rodgers locked in at No. 1 ..
That's the inspiration for the book on Oher, isn't it - or the chapter on the left tackles (wait a minute, LT, Lawrence Taylor, Left Tackle .....oooooooo...coincidence or False Flag operation??)
Just wondering here - LT and 49ers together got a lot of teams to switch to the short "west coast" passing game. QBs were getting killed by guys like LT and then Reggie White. Watt isn't changing the game, he's just having a good season.
