2012 NFL MVP
 

Poll Forthcoming

Peyton Manning.

It should be AP but it will be Manning.

I want AP, but I'm sure I'll get PM

CO MVPs. Poll fails.

AP hands down.

Manning had a great year, but AP had a special year. I don't even think its close now that AP took his Vikings back to the playoffs.

To be fair, the Vikes would be horse shit w/out Peterson. Denver made the playoffs last year with Tim Tebow.

AP for sure...

Manning will get MVP.

Peterson will get OPY.

Super Bowl contender >>>>>>>>>>> barely made playoffs

Manning

Manning. I would have given serious consideration to JJ Watt, but his team faded down the stretch.

I really think a co-MVP is in order this year. If a gun were held to my head I'd probably go with Peterson.

It should go to Peterson. He had a historic season for a RB and did so within a year of completely shredding the ligaments in his knee. He damn near single-handedly carried his team to the playoffs and effectively sealed their victory with his final carry of the season.

Manning has had a great season, but as someone mentioned, the Broncos went to the playoffs last season without him.

**** Manning and QBs always winning MVP. Give it to AP!

It really should be AD (his nickname is All Day god damnit)

But it will be Manning, not that he isn't worthy.

mvp AD..... comeback player... Manning

Peterson, and it really shouldn't be close.

Peterson IS the Vikings. Without him, they are hot garbage.

Without Manning, Denver won the division and a playoff game.

Most Valuable Player

Hint: it's not a RB

Has this fan base still not learned this lesson?

Who is the most valuable player on the Vikings?

Andrew mother ****ing Luck


he took a nto that good team from last to playoffs
the game against the chiefs
we should have won and the chiefs suck ass
MVP
ROOKIE
yup

Both deserve MVP, Both deserve Come Back...

One will get one, the other the other

AP is the MVP

PM is the comeback player of the year.

Peterson is more valuable to his team than Manning is to his.

You could grab 10-12 QBs, put them on Denver's roster, and they'd likely be sitting in a similar position.

Take Peterson off the Vikings, they are a 4 win team at best.

If you put AP on the Chiefs or PM on the Chiefs, which would give a better outcome?

Is Minnesota in the playoffs without AD?

Every team has it's current strengths and weaknesses.

Put AP on the Broncos and you have the best backfield of all time.

Not sure what the Chiefs have to do with it.

Denver made the playoffs with Tebow? did they make it this year?

At this moment the broncos have about a 10x greater chance of winning the SB than the Vikes. So take what ever value you think each player added and then multiply PM by 10.

No. Making the playoffs pfff.

Contending for the SB is a big deal.

Substitute the 10 teams at the top of the draft. PM does more for them than AP.

Who is the DPOY? Miller or Smith?

no doubting a QB is more valuable. But Manning took a team back to the playoffs.. AD led a team to the playoffs.

QB is, far and away, the most valuable position in team sports.

The MVP is about the guy that did more to make his team competitive in the regular season.

No one did more for his team that AP did for the Vikings.

AP. If the Vikes hadn't gotten the playoff spot, I probably would have voted for Manning.

Peyton manning. AP for comeback player.

AP shouldn't even be considered for Comeback POY. He hardly missed any time at all. Where's the comeback?

Tom Brady

It doesn't matter.

Of course PM does more for every team, but AP did more for his team this year.

That is the bottom line.

This is not an award for post season.

This is based on the value to your team in the regular season.

The Broncos get the playoffs in a bad division, almost regardless of who the QB is.

The Vikings don't get there in a tough division without AP.

Tough call. I think an equally legitimate question could be how many other QB's would've led that Denver team to the playoffs. And then, how many RB's could've done what AP just did. I don't think there's a single RB. He pretty much willed that team to the playoffs. I do think it was probably the most outstanding performance, but he probably won't win MVP.

If you went by cdcox's logic, MVP ballots every season would include Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and maybe a Roethlisberger or RGIII here and there..

I think you have to take the team's success that (REGULAR) season and decide the guy that contributed most to the team's success.

Look at the change in Generic Win Percentage (an estimate of a teams winning percentage against an average NFL team during the regular season).

Denver 2011->2012: 0.36 -> 0.72

Minnesota 2011->2012: 0.30 -> 0.44

reference: advancednflstats.com

He's come back from 2 torn knee ligaments. And rushed for over 200 yards and within 9 of the all-time season record.

There is no reasoning with Donco homers.

Healer of the Year, maybe. There was no comeback. He wasn't missing.

:facepalm:

Hey bro, players who have not even been injured and just sucked dick and then had a good season have won Comeback Player of the Year.

AP should win it. Denver was a playoff team last year with Tebow at QB. Manning came in and made a good team better. Minnesota is in the playoffs because of Peterson. They have very few offensive options outside of him and teams know this. In spite of this he still fell nine yards short of the all time rushing record after tearing ligaments in his knees and led his team to the playoffs in the tough NFC north.

He sucked dick in 2011? 970 yards, 4.7 average, 12 touchdowns. That's not sucking dick, so that can't be the reason to consider him. It must be the injury. One problem, though: Showing up next season after going on IR on Dec. 26 does not constitute a comeback.

Yes it does. You're ****ing reeruned if you're not trolling.

You dumb ****, I think he's the MVP.

Who the **** are you again?

Oh, right. The guy from San Diego. I understand.

ROFL

The whole entire AFCW was dogshit last year.

Broncos went because someone had to go to the playoffs.

Manning took a shit team to the #1 seed in the AFC.

Adrian Peterson

You are a ****ing tard. It is for players coming back from devastating injuries in the prior year. That is the comeback you sad sack of shit.

Russell Wilson.

This.

Tell you what: I'll let you guys continue the discussion based on your fantasy that his injury was devastating despite the fact that it clearly wasn't.

:facepalm:

I'm more inclined to agree with this.

You are right, they made up that he had a torn ACL. Or even if they didn't, you are again right because ACL injuries are not serious for an NFL players career.

:facepalm:

He's right, though.

AP missed part of tha last game of the season last year, a season in which he put up credible numbers.

By strict definition, AP is not coming back, because he didn't miss any time.

He will, however, be considered for the award simply by virtue of the fact that an ACL is considered a devastating injury that he returned to play from far quicker than anyone has before.

I actually fully expect PM to win MVP, while they throw AP the Comeback award as a consolation.

They still had a good defense, and the majority of the offensive players they have this year. He took a good talented team and made them better. Who does Minnesota have for talent? They are not nearly as talented as Denver and yet they still made the playoffs in the difficult NFC North. Peterson was the biggest reason for that which is why he deserves MVP.

Bad poll. Should be DMC.

Peterson.

but it'll be manning.

Peterson

BTW it's AD. I wish half of these media reeruns could get it right.

The nickname is AD ALL DAY. I'm not sure why people are suddenly morphing it in to AP.

All Day long.

Charles has had a great comeback year. Shane he's being shadowed by ap and manning

I voted the for the best tackler.

Flip a coin. Both have been great this year and key to their teams success. Manning joined a better team so if I had to choose one that was more key to the teams success, it would be AP by a hair.
