2011 Pre-season awards predictions

[freaak]

So here's my annual (in my mind) awards prediction thread. Let me know your ideas and feel free to critique mine. Honorable mentions included.

NFL MVP - Peyton Manning - My feeling is he won't play week one and maybe even week two. The Colts are exposed as being terrible without him, and he comes in on his white horse to carry the team into the playoffs yet again. HM: Aaron Rodgers

Offensive Player of the Year - Aaron Rodgers - With all his weapons healthy and at his disposal, Aaron has a ridiculously productive season, yet finishes 2nd to Peyton in MVP voting. HM: Calvin Johnson

Defensive Player of the Year - Ndamukong Suh - Follows his impressive rookie campaign with a beastly season. The grumblings of his inability to play the run dissipate into the ether. HM: Patrick Willis

Offensive Rookie of the Year - Julio Jones - As the beneficiary of a great situation, Julio has the most productive season of all rookies with over 1,000 yds and 8-10 TDs. HM: A.J. Green

Defensive Rookie of the Year - Von Miller - He and Elvis make a dynamic duo, and Miller takes the award in a landslide as he produces double-digit sacks. HM: Phil Taylor

Comeback Player of the Year - Matthew Stafford - Overcoming injuries to guide his team to its first playoff berth since 1999 and earn his first Pro Bowl invitation. HM: Plaxico Burress

Wow, very nice predictions. Very similar to my own. I will stick to your format to make things easier.

MVP - Peyton Manning - As far as I'm concerned he should be MVP every year, because nobody does more for his team than this guy. Having him miss possibly the first week or 2 should remind people that that's the case.
HM - Phillip Rivers

Offensive Player of the year - Phillip Rivers - With Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates healthy i think this is almost a no brainer. I expect him to put up around 4,500 yards.
HM - Aaron Rodgers

Defensive Player of the year - Ndamukong Suh - Finally a Defensive lineman capable of winning it. I expect him to get between 12-15 sacks this year and completely dominate teams like the Bears and Vikings (finally a challenge for Hutch.).
HM - Tamba Hali (expecting mucho sacks from him this year)

Offensive Rookie of the year - Mark Ingram - This guy has been great in pre season and should have that starting role secured fairly quickly. He's going to give the Saints a nice balance that they haven't had in recent years and should get close to 1,000 yards and around 8-10 TD's.
HM - AJ Green

Defensive Rookie of the year - Patrick Peterson - With the trade of DRC and the injury to Toler, i expect Peterson to sneak up on some QB's who don't realize how good he is. He could be looking at 6-7 picks if QB's under estimate him.
HM - Rahim Moore - he should get around 100 tackles and if I'm wrong about Peterson than it's easily him IMO.

Comeback Player of the year - Mathew Stafford - My only concern with this is why he would be comeback player of the year when he hasn't really had the chance to show what he can do yet. Still, i expect him to light up the scoreboard and give the Lions a good shot at landing a wild card spot.

DROY-V. Miller

Comeback- J. Finley

[tallglassofwater007]

MVP- Drew Brees (Saints have a big year) HM Alex Smith (if he plays so badly we can draft Luck I gotta give it to him)

OPY- Rivers (What he did last year with nothing was incredible...now he's got stuff)

DPOY- Willis (the team playing bad hurts him, but hes been on the radar since he came in and I look for him to make some big impact plays) HM- Mario Williams (just cause)

OROY- Ingram (toss up with about 5 guys for me though) HM-Robert Woods USC... hes gonna have such a big year I give it to him anyway!!

DROY- Jimmy Smith (the rest of those guys are gonna make him look good... and make him play good)

Comeback- Romo (Because I hate him so much) HM- Dumervil

Coach- Norv Turner...THAT JUST HAPPENED!!!

Most Improved- Mark Sanchez (uses GQ as fuel to gain back manhood...puts up big numbers) HM- McFadden

Biggest Drop Off- Bowe (KC struggles this year) HM- Lloyd

Superbowl- Chargers over Saints and they stay in SD so that when a team finally comes to LA it won't be them.

 

[taughtmepatience]

MVP- Rivers. What he did last year with Naane and Ajirotutu was amazing. With Vincent and Gates, it will be record setting.

OPY- Rivers

DPOY- Demarcus Ware. Suh gets triple teamed and doesn't accomplish much.

OROY- Julio Jones

DROY- Von Miller... gonna have 13 sacks

Comeback- Brandan Marshall

Coach- Norv.

Most Improved- Stafford

Biggest Drop Off- Adrian Peterson. He lost half a step last year and will lose a full step this year

Superbowl- Chargers v. GB
