NFL MVP voting
I’ve been deliberating about my MVP vote for hours now. My problem really comes down to what I think most valuable player really means. Does it means the best player? Does being the best player in the league on a losing team disqualify that player? I mean, his team still would have lost without him, right? This question is fundamental in a man’s MVP voting decision.
After a few hours of soul searching, I have decided that most valuable does indeed assume that a player’s team has been successful because of his play. So, it is with great sadness that I have to look past the best football player in the NFL when I cast my vote. Neil Rackers, I’m sorry. I know LaDanian only has eight touchdowns and you have the equivalent of that plus a safety. I also know that TO has 504 yards and you have 633 yards of three point goodness. Finally, I know that last year’s MVP, Peyton Manning, is averaging 16 fantasy points and you are average 15. Yes, averaging a mere point less that last year’s MVP is an admirable feat, but unfortunately, your team is 1-3 so I can’t vote for you for MVP. Maybe next year.

opps, I didn’t read all the post. I see you are talking football here. So go Bledsoe and DeMarcus Ware.

Larry is right. Shaun Alexander all the way. Second runner up would be Tom Brady…he is that whole team and leads them to win without having major talent around him.
