Blame the National Passing League for creating this situation. Long gone are the days when defense alone could take you to the Big Show, or a solid running back could pick up the slack (or even lead the team) when the quarterback fails.

Have you watched Adrian Peterson this year? In a just world the MVP voting this season won't even be close.

Two things: 1) I love AP. He has a great story. He has a solid claim on both comeback player of the year and MVP. However, in a just world, Peyton Manning also has good claims to either or both. 2) My statement stands:
The Minivikes are not going to the Superbowl unless Ponder keeps the 120+ QB rating he had yesterday.

About AP, you’re right. If he can carry a team into the playoffs when everyone knows just about every first and second down will go to him, with an obviously substandard QB and since Percy Harvin’s season ending injury absolutley no other talent in skill positions offensively, so could Romo times a hundred. Then again, you’re sorta making the previous poster’s point for him if the argument is about winning the Superbowl instead of making the playoffs. For while the Vikings could beat the Packers in any given game, there’s no way Peterson can carry them to the big show, let alone win.

Unless the lightening that struck the Giants twice hits Minneapolis. Then again, Eli Manning is infinitely better than Ponder, no matter the record.

If Adrian doesn’t get MVP, I give up on pro football.
