My MVP FWIW
IMHO, Matt Ryan was just as deserving..where did he wind up?
I dunno, does Miami even sniff the playoffs without Pennington? Yes Manning is better, but who was more valuable to their team?
This is silly. They only gave it to Manning because the colts made a “dramatic comeback”. But was it so dramatic? they only lost so many games early in the season because many players were on IR. when they came back, they won—as they were expected to. Far less expected was the 11-5 Dolphins season. and for that, chad Pennington is my MVP pick. (Matt ryan a close 2nd, but Turner and his receiver corps were huge factors as well, whereas Pennington was the singular factor).
Peyton Manning, Indianapolis 32
Chad Pennington, Miami 4
Michael Turner, Atlanta 4
Adrian Peterson, Minnesota 3
James Harrison, Pittsburgh 3
Philip Rivers, San Diego 2
Chris Johnson, Tennessee 1
Kurt Warner, Arizona 1
I guess you could call me a Colts fan, but, in reality, I’m a Dungy fan (live in Tampa Bay area, and I’ll root for the Colts instead of the Bucs, any day.)
Manning did look “awful” when he first started the seasons, and he did make a great comeback.
I’m for any award that reflects well on Dungy, and as Manning said on the clip, it’s really a team award, and he owes thanks to the team and Dungy for being named MVP.
From AP. Sorry, I don’t believe a damn thing they say.
Jake Delhomme of the Panthers got the shaft. I guess you have to be in the bigger markets to be eligible.
I thought Barack Hussein Obama was the AP MVP???
My MVP FWIW
Way to go, Peyton! He’s a good man. A true inspiration to us all.
Now, if he’d only stop doing those television commercials. He can’t act worth beans. And mumbles.
One of the greatest quarterbacks of all times. Way to go, Peyton.
He definitely deserved it. No way the Colts would be in the playoffs without Peyton.
Yes, I know that the Colts did go all the way (one time) in 2007 but with all the fuss and fawning, you'd think pretty boy Peyton would have a little more to show for it than one Super Bowl ring.
Now I don't dislike Peyton personally, I'm sure he's a swell enough guy off the field, but all this adulation over Manning and his highly overrated Colts does make me sick to my stomach at times (and reminds me of the media lovefest over Obama).
Now at least I do not have to be subjected to three more weeks of "Manning Bowl" talk. In fact, if pretty boy Eli and his Giants get knocked out of the playoffs, it will help make me feel better about my 11-5 Brady-less Patriots getting shut out of the playoffs entirely! Although Eli aside, the Giants are a much more deserving team than the insufferable dome-playing Colts.
