You're kidding, right?
Tiki and Gore have similar numbers, but neither of them are in the same stratosphere as Johnson or Tomlinson. (#'s-wise)

You clearly forgot to do so.

[Mr. Stiller]

I wouldn't mind Jason Taylor getting it... Dudes been insane.

Gore has more yards than LT on the ground, FYI.

Right. His numbers still pale in comparison. I'm not saying Gore is no good, I'm just talking overall numbers.

[ninerfan]

Frank Gore is 45 % of the 9ers offense - team 5-5

30% rushing 1043 yards 5.5 yds per attempt (highest in top 20) , 4 TD's
15% recieving 280 yards ave 8

LT is 40% of the Chargers - team 8-2

26% rushing 1037 yards 4.9 yds per and 19 TD's
19% recieving 450 yards ave 10

OK LT smashes Gore on the TD front but what Gore is doing with an average team is great and he's certainly worthy of discussion at this point (but ok i concede he wont win it)

Interesting. According to my calculations LJ is:

44% of Chiefs total offense with 1388 yards and 16 tds.

I agree that Gore is a very good back, and he seems to be the future of the 9ers, but he just really doesn't have any place in this discussion at this point in the year. He's just the MVP of his team. Tomlinson might be the MVP of this generation.

drew brees should win it.

hear me out:

peyton he's above lt, his team isnt as good but he still has some solid players around hiim. a solid o-line with great recievers and some depth at the RB postion. the defense is shaky but its compatiable

lt is a great back and having an outstanding year, but the defense is one of the best in the nation. the best rush defense, with a great linebacker core and get pressure on the QB like no other.

drew brees had nothign to work with when he got there. a shaky defense and alot of unproven guys on O. they got bush who hasnt done much, but he has thrown his way, and has helped with the development of colsten. he is the mvp because of the lack of talent around him.

IMO...............
