League MVP after 8 games? Who's yours

[prophet]

I'd figure I'll keep this bumped up every week until the end of the season.

We can keep adding your top guys every week, and see what happens

I've got to say Rex Grossman 5 straight good - to great games.

runner up

Frank Gore. (ok a bad pick at #2)


Mcnubb is my #2
----------------------------------------
Now week 6 is gone

[Alabama Man]

I go with five

[Mooka]

A repeat of 2003 is looking about right.

[OWUeagleMD]

I've got to say Rex Grossman 5 straight good - to great games.

runner up

Frank Gore.

Frank Gore?

An average running back with a fumbling problem on a bad team is your MVP runner-up?

Doesn't make any sense.

[bubba9497]

Mark Brunell










:jk: too early to tell

Wasn't that Manning/McNair?

[prophet]

Frank Gore?

Doesn't make any sense.

Ok maybe not runner up, but the dude has 465 yards rushing and another 167 receiving. I would not call him an average back... average backs do not do that. Knock SF now but they are a up and coming team in the league.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Bears defense.

Then McNabb.

Then Grossman.

[Capt'n Obvious]

Grossman and maybe as much as it pains me to say it...McNabb.

[bubba9497]

Grossman and maybe as much as it pains me to say it...McNabb.


I'd put Manning over either of them, maybe not as good of stats but he has been more important and valuable to the Colts success

Palmer second, Dunn third

[jpyaks3]

Frank Gore?

Average back that happens to be tied for the league lead for rushing yards with another 167 yrds recieving to boot, damn I ll take an average back anytime.

[Capt'n Obvious]

It is hard to argue Manning because he is so valuable to the Colts. He could win the MVP every year. I'd have McNabb over Palmer, Carson has played well, but McNabb looks very good, especially for coming off the injury he had. :eaglesuck

lol

sounds like a Vol fan, and a gator hater....

Go Gators! :laugh:

[#1njskinsfan]

brandon lloyd

[Alabama Man]

yeah mcnabb for come back player of the year sounds good too, come to think of it

[jwebst1]

McNabb... no doubt

[Warhead36]

McNabb or Palmer.

Maybe even Brady. I mean he's still playing at a high level and carrying the Pats while they traded away his best weapon.

[H-O-G]

TJ Duckett

[sableholic]

Grossman atm. Mcnabb close 2nd.

[Stuckinphilly1]

WHAT???? You take McNabb off that team and they wouldn't have won a game yet this year, even the Texans.

McNabb-yes as much as it pains me to say-is going to be the runaway MVP this year.

[Stuckinphilly1]

Bears defense.

Then McNabb.

Then Grossman.

Bears D is a GREAT point but has it ever happened???

[Fifty Gut]

Rex Grossman

not McNabb, because his performance is as expected, he's in an all pass offense

not Chicago's defense, because I expected them to be dominant

[Capt'n Obvious]

WHAT???? You take McNabb off that team and they wouldn't have won a game yet this year, even the Texans.

McNabb-yes as much as it pains me to say-is going to be the runaway MVP this year.

As much as I hate Philly, I agree with you that McNabb is the MVP so far, but the taking a player off the team arguement really doesnt work here. Take Manning off the Colts and they are terrible especially without Edge. :eaglesuck

[prophet]

With week 6 gone, Both Mcnubb & Grossman had bad games.

My new MVP for the season is Drew Bree's. He is the main reason the saints are where they are. If this dude is not listed as an elite qb of this league there is something wrong.

My runner up is: Urlacher

[mboyd784]

Without a doubt, Carlos Rogers...what a playmaker!

McNabb's numbers from Sunday: 19/32 for 247 yards (2TD, 1INT) That interception was at the end of the first half on a hail mary pass.

I don't think there is anyone who would say Drew Brees isn't playing top-5 QB level right now. However, McNabb has over 1800 yards, 13 tds and 2 int. What's going to hurt his chances for MVP is that his numbers will most surely slow down in the second half, but he still will end up with silly numbers barring injury.

[Cooley4President]

Still gotta be McNabb.

I think I just threw up a bit in my mouth

[RedskinzOwnU]

Mark Brunell and the Redskins Defense - they have singlehandedly won games for FOUR different NFL teams this season. No one else can claim that.

[DCsportsfan53]

At this point, I'd have to go with McNabb or maybe Tiki. Derrick Frost is in strong competition with both of them, though

[Henry]

To this point, it's gotta be McNabb.

[GibbsFactor]

1. Mcnabb
2. Bulger
3. Brees

Grossman is out after last night for at least a few weeks.

[DCSaints_fan]

1. McNabb
2. Brees
3. Manning

I never considered Rex Grossman even before yesterday's game. The Bears were an 11-5 playoff team with Kyle Orton. You saw what the Eagles were last year without McNabb.

[bubba9497]

Drew Brees

[OrangeSkin]

Jacquez Green

[Eli to Burress]

(homer pick) TIKI
McNabb's numbers won't look as good after their bye week.

[Jethrodsp]

McNabb
Bulger
Philip Rivers


In that order.

[Riggo#44]

Why is everyone ignoring Drew Brees?

Or LT2?

[DCSaints_fan]

Why is everyone ignoring Drew Brees?

Or LT2?

Even as a Saints fan I would give McNabb the edge, although Brees is a close #2. The Saints have a better rushing game than the Eagles, and it is conceivable that Martin and McAllister/Bush could squeak out a few wins if the defense had a good day. Brees basically won us the game against Green Bay, and the 8:26 drive against Philly that sealed the deal is something I will remember for a long, long time. But the Saints would probably suck slightly less than the Eagles should both their starting QBs go down.

I don't see how anyone could pick Grossman. The title is Most Valuable Player. You saw how the Bears played with Kyle Orton last year they were 11-5 and made the playoffs. Sure Grossman has played well(not last night though). But the Bears defense will win games. The Eagles defense won't.

[Brown_Hornet]

Right now...

Doink McClownhair and Tiki Barber are the MVPs of the league.

[mcterry7]

1. Donovan
2. P. Manning
3. LDT
4. Tiki
5. Brees

[ArmchairRedskin]

Right now...

No TD, No MVP.

[RDSKNfaithfull]

Mcnabb

no one else comes close at this point

[Nighthawk]

McNabb is the favorite at this point, but I truly believe so far, the MVP is Drew Brees.

[SkinsFTW]

Mc Nabb, by far.

[CaLLaHaN]

Mcnabb, Brees, Tiki

[Capt'n Obvious]

After week 6, McNabb is still the MVP right now in my opinion.

[Warhead36]

What about Steve Smith? Without him the Panthers are horrifible. With him they're a Super Bowl contender. He just tore up the Ravens D too.

[PuckDallas81]

I would say Mcnabb for some odd reason every sports writer wrote off Philadelphia in the pre season. This is pretty much the same team that went to all the nfc championship games. The only reason they were so bad last year was because of the injuries.If they had been healthy I don't think the T.O. situation would have affected them.Mcnabb has come back strong and shown that this team is for real.

[ceviker]

Steve Smith, hands down. The dude comes back and the Panthers are all of a sudden explosive and on a 4 game win streak. If that's not "most valuable", I don't know what is.


2) Brees, 3) Grossman, 4) McNabb

[roanoker]

TJ Duckett






Very good! Rotflmao. :laugh:

[sk0aL]

As much as I hate to say it as a Dallas fan, it's McNabb. He's the sole reason for their success. If he plays well, the Eagles have a great shot at winning. If he doesn't show up, they're probably one of the worst teams in the league.

A close second is Steve Smith. Carolina started out 0-2 without him, and they're 4-0 since he came back. Hard to beat a playmaker like that.

btw 1st post!

[skinshooligan]

Steve Smith is 1 and Drew Brees is 2.
steve smith wins games by himself and the saints wouldnt be the same if they had aaron brooks ruining everything.

[The Sir]

Brian Urlacher, don't care if he's defense

Steve Smith and Donovan McNabb are my runner ups.

Do I have an NFC bias?

[twenty-eight]

You gotta give it to brunell, you hear about that nfl record he broke? He broke a record!!!

[KingRex]

Steve Smith.

Week 7 Over: New Picks

[prophet]

With McNubb having 5 ints in the past 2 weeks, including 2 losses, and 3ints last game he has droped to 4th in the voting.

1. Peyton "2 FT NECK" Manning

2. Brian Urlacher

3. Dree Brees

[Brown_Hornet]

It's still Tiki.

[909997]

steve smith

[SAli457180]

I'll go with Steve Smith.

[Number5]

Steve Smith

[NOVA2Tampa]

Too early to tell yet, but Grossman would be at or near the top of my list...so would McNabb...despite the two close losses, I still think McNabb is the best QB in the NFL right now.

[NOVA2Tampa]

Steve Smith

I'd have him on my list as well. He is, without a doubt, one of the biggest "difference makers" in the league. :cheers:

[Number5]

I like Smith alot, but man, does he run simple routes and always find away to get open.....

Outs, Ins, Slants, Posts.....maybe a reverse here and there, but basically that's it.....

Apparently, that's all he needs to do... :D

[mrs_pink]

At this point, it is definitely McNabb..due to the fact that he came back from a season ending injury and is playing LIGHTS OUT!

[Brown_Hornet]

Ronde agrees.

[Capt'n Obvious]

McNabb or Steve Smith.

[Stophovr6]

Urlacher
I feel like he is the heart and leader of a strong defense which is the backbone of that bears team.

[LiveStrongSkins]

Most definetly Drew Brees.

[CaLLaHaN]

Tiki Barber

[#1njskinsfan]

andrew walter

[Eli to Burress]

I think Westbrook deserves more mention than McNabb. The Eagles running game consists of short passes to Westbrook. McNabb gets credited passing yards and passing TD's, while Westbrook gets to read all week that the Eagles have no running game. Turn those passing yards into rushing yards and you've got one of the best backs in the game and just a good McNabb. I don't mean to take a shot at McNabb, he's a great QB, but Westbrook deserves alot more credit than he gets and McNabb takes alittle to much credit than he deserves.
With that said,

Peyton
Westbrook
Urlacher

[eagleskins]

Urlacher. Most dominant player in the game by far. Brees and Manning nipping at his heels.

[redskin81]

Its gotta be Terry Bradshaw. Him and Lynn Swann are tearing up the defenses this year.

[prophet]

Ok Week 8 Is Done

[prophet]

Peyton Manning seems to be the LOCK for MVP

2. Brian Urlacher
3. Rex Grossman

McNubb has droped out of the running.

[bubba9497]

Peyton Manning

no contest

[Jethrodsp]

1a. Tom Brady
1b. Peyton Manning

then there are all the rest...

[eagleskins]

Tom Brady has jumped to the forefront. He has absolutely no talent at wideout and still dominates. Give him Mannings receivers, and whew.

[Capt'n Obvious]

1. Manning

2. Brady

[prophet]

Tom Brady has jumped to the forefront. He has absolutely no talent at wideout and still dominates. Give him Mannings receivers, and whew.
I think i'm really moving towards this thought after a few days of thinking about it.

[codeorama]

Rex Grossman.
