Mike Sando's MVP Watch

December, 19, 2012 10:48AM ET

By Mike Sando ESPN.com

" Adrian Peterson is making our weekly MVP discussion more compelling all the time.

The Minnesota Vikings' ligament-defying running back has rushed for 212, 210, 182, 171, 154, 153, 123, 108 and 102 yards in games this season. His total for those nine games would rank 11th among single-season totals over the past five years. His 1,812-yard total through 14 games this season already ranks 19th in NFL history. "

"...if the Vikings could trade Peterson for a top quarterback, they would be getting superior value in return. That is a primary reason quarterbacks continue to fill the top three spots in MVP Watch this week."

" Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers upgrade their teams in ways even the greatest running back could not. That is the nature of the NFL. "

As Joe Friday always said..." The facts mame...just give me the facts ".

Tradition so often rules in our world and sometimes that makes me a little sad.

Yet... causes me to think... Can we make it better?
