Manning, No MVP

[Merlin]

Can anyone tell me this?

Doesn't the acronym MVP = Most Valuable Player?

And if so can anyone explain to me how the guy who cause two Colts turnovers, only threw 1 TD pass and was whining the whole game got this award?

Better yet, can anyone tell my why the games MVP ran away from the fumble he caused in the first half instead of trying to recover it? Isn't that what an MVP does?

Dominic Rhodes was the most deserving if it had to come down to 1 player, IMO. He just ate up the Chicago run D.

And why the HELL was he yelling at Sorgi in the first Q? What an A$$.

Personally I would have given co-MVP honors to Addia and Rhodes since they put the Colts on their backs and got things turned around.

Probably had a problem because Cadillac didn't bring more then one car to the game so they had to settle on one player. Then given the salaries of the players, they figured Manning would be so embarassed at receiving the Honor he would go out and buy everyone on the team a new Caddy!

The other viable candidate for MVP would have been Sanders. The Colts Defense is a completely different animal when he is in the game.

yeah, i got a kick out of his fumble, what a chickenshit coward

I agree. Addai deserves some consideration for catching all of those check down passes that the MVP threw when he was scared shitless in the pocket even when a rush wasn't coming. I have ZERO faith in the NFL after Manning won this award. He is a self serving over rated NFL player that would have been quick to throw his whole team under the bus if they didn't win. The Colts won DESPITE MANNING, who did everything he could to lose the game.

It would be interesting to know what Manning's teammates really think of him. I suspect he's not very popular. We'll probably never know, however, given Manning's stature with the organization and the press.

[Merlin]

I wonder if the media will pick up on the fact that Manning didn't deserve it. You have to know that a majority of the people out there think the same thing as we do.,

I bet he's loved. He's Peyton freaking Manning. He wins. Straight up.

Perhaps the reason the backs ran so rampant as the Bears would only put 6-7 in the box to shut down the passing attack of Manning?

Excellent point pussy cat.

The Bears played so much to stop the deep ball that they gave Manning far too much room and opened up that running attack. Addai and Rhodes looked like All-Pros out there.

jORDAN'S teammates didn't like him so much either

Thats because the star gets all the attention, all the publicity, and all the awards.

The star makes the other players look better, and thus they think they are better players than they are, and thus deserve more accolade ala the star. It's funny how that works!!

Passing attack of "Manning"? You mean the COLTS, Manning is nothing without the talent surrounding him. Take away Wayne & Harrison as the Bears did and what do you get? Mr Chicken Shit check down who got rid of the ball 5 seconds earlier then he needed to. Face it, Rhodes is the MVP, not Manning.

14-27 for 246 yards, 0 INT, 2 TD, 0 Fumble
25-42 for 256 yards, 1 INT, 3 TD, 1 Fumble
25-38 for 247 yards, 1 INT, 1 TD, 1 Fumble

You have to consider the conditions. Rhodes shouldn't even be the MVP over Addai... Addai definitely was the workhorse and Rhodes took advantage of Addai pounding the ball the entire first half.

Manning is nothing without his talent surrounding him? It's like chicken or the egg, is it Manning who makes the talent or is it just that good? Manning, the best QB in the NFL, possibly in the history of the NFL, is like Favre. He makes his receivers better. How many tight ends, receivers and running backs have been the benefactor of playing with Favre and getting a bigger contract than they deserved elsewhere only to dissapoint? I can think of many. It would be the exact same situation with Manning.

Harrison is a great, great receiver. But lets be honest, he would not be a future HOF if Brad Johnson was his quarterback.

This explains why so many people here don't like me!
