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).
Even Kerry Collins deserved consideration, after the mess they were in at the beginning of the year with Vince Young.
