Yeah, count another vote for Brees/Portis. It could go either way and the voters wouldn't be wrong. Whoever gets closest to their division title/playoffs will win.

AntoinCD · 10-14-2008, 10:13 AM

I think its going to depend on record. If the Redskins make the playoffs it'll be Portis, if the Saints do it'll be Brees. If both teams get playoffs Brees will probably win it because its a pass orientated league. They're pretty much they only ones in the discussion unless Peyton leads the Colts undefeated the rest of the way.
As of now I would give it to Portis-carried the Skins against quality teams even the Rams;)

Portis the MVP...you know he'd bust out a new character. What a wacky guy.

Their locker room must be crazy with him and Cooley

Once the Chargers get hot (which they will. They always start out seasons slow), I think Rivers could be a contender down the line. He is having an amazing year and is really carrying the Chargers as a team.

No voter will ever, EVER, vote for any member of the Chargers other than LT.. and for good reason! You can't be the league MVP with LT on your team and playing, it's impossible.

I tend to disagree with Brees (I could even make an arguement that, eww, Reggie Bush is the MVP of that team right now) and would definitely lean towards Portis winning the award at this point although it SHOULD go to Aaron Rodgers.

Maybe I'm being homerish but my reasoning is this.. the Packers have no run game and their defense is getting shredded. Aaron Rodgers has been lights out despite a shoulder injury, however, AND if he goes down we have two horrible, HORRIBLE rookies behind him. We drop at least twice as many games without him starting.

At least the Saints could throw screens to Reggie Bush and win a few games with Brunell. The Redskins could surely win on defense and with Jason Campbell. The Packers offense would be beyond awful with Flynn or Brohm out there. We'd lose every game.

iowatreat54 · 10-14-2008, 03:56 PM

sorry, MVP doesn't go to the player doing good with the worst backups behind him

Portis ftw

Mr.Regular · 10-14-2008, 04:03 PM

Right now Id say Brees. Portis could be in the conversation as well, same with Haynesworth. But it is way too early to tell. Wasnt it a couple years back at around this time of the season, where everyone was declaring Jake Plummer the front runner....yikes

KCJ58 · 10-14-2008, 04:10 PM

after week 6:

MVP: Drew Brees/QB (New Orleans)
OPOY: Phillip Rivers/QB (San Diego)
DPOY: Mario Williams/DE (Houston)
OROY: DeSean Jackson/WR (Phildelphia)
DROY: Chris Horton/S (Wahington)

MidwayMonster31 · 10-14-2008, 04:43 PM

Brees and Portis are good choices for MVP. Kurt Warner is a dark horse. He has as many touchdown passes as Brees, but his numbers are a little lower. If he can get the Cardinals to an NFC West title for the first time ever, then he should be considered.

Warner has played really well this season but I think the Jets game will severely cost him

I might be a homer, but I would have to think that Matt Ryan is the leading candidate for OROTY honors as of now. He is 15th in the league in yards, 17th in passer rating, and is only behind Cutler, Eli Manning, and Brees in sacks taken by a starting QB (7). And he is one of, if not the biggest, for the Falcons 4-2 record.

Yea I would definitely agree with that. Although it is hard to come in and be a successful rookie WR Royal is putting up similar numbers. Ryan has come in and started at the toughest position in the NFL and has done a great job at managing the offense and doing enough to get them to 4-2.

AntoinCD · 10-14-2008, 04:54 PM

MVP-Drew Brees QB
OPOY-Clinton Portis RB
DPOY-Albert Haynesworth DT
OROY-Matt Ryan QB
DROY-Aqib Talib(just a hunch) CB

No you are right. Especially with the media he is the hands on favorite for OROY. In terms of OROY voting Desean Jackson would be behind Matt Ryan, Matt Forte, Chris Johnson, and maybe even Steve Slaton right now.

Yeah. Damn those rookie RBs who are able to come in and make an instant impact right away.

I wonder how Royal would be without Marshall. I feel as if he has the makings of a legit number 1 WR. He should do well as a compliment though, especially if the Broncos are going to start airing it out.

well he was pretty dominant in week 1

gsorace · 10-14-2008, 05:13 PM

As of now it's Brees

MichaelJordanEberle (sabf) · 10-14-2008, 05:19 PM

Philip Rivers. The Chargers are a sleeping giant and when they wake up, they're gonna make some noise, finish with 11 or 12 wins and the division. Denver will hopefully get a wildcard, we're cooling down, I'm predicting 10 wins from us. But yes, Rivers is the only Charger not asleep right now, and when everyone else wakes up I expect his torrid pace to continue. I would like to see more yardage from him, but yes, he will win MVP.

Best part about it is, he leads the league (yes, even over Brees) in YPA with 9.0.

And Royal was dominant against Hall who gave a 5-10 yard cushion each time. I want to see him against a smarter DC.

ChezPower4 · 10-14-2008, 05:59 PM

I can't really think of anyone who I'd give MVP too. but I think that for DPOY i think that Charles Woodson is making a really good case.

10-14-2008, 06:37 PM

Greg Jennings and Charles Woodson.

Smooth Criminal · 10-14-2008, 06:40 PM

I like Portis right now. He is having a hell of a season.

10-14-2008, 06:41 PM

I'm just being a homer and stirring the pot here, but why Fitz over Jennings at this point? I get the argument that Fitz could easily surpass Jennings statistically by the end of the year but right now, if it's a WR, it has to be Jennings doesn't it? He's the clear-cut leader statistically and his impact on the field is as big as any WR right now.
