NFL MVP...Gronk? Mike Freeman thinks so. Here's his top 10.

[Carnzo]

Freeman is a clueless dope, he is like Steven A, Kap and Sharpton. Give Gurley MVP, either Rams, Philly or Minn HC as Coach of year, and NE hopefully Lombardi, all us NE fans care about. Well most of us

Exactly Sonny. The MVP and best of's are for the players.
The big prize is what we the fans want, Super Bowl Champions.

For Rams I'll take the Lombardi and awards just like 1999.

I read it correctly. You said it is NOT about numbers, but then stated:
"gronk leads all TE's in yards, 2nd in catches, tied for 1st in TD's, leads all non WR's in YPC at 15.7."

Nice try. Gronk is not even in the MVP discussion. He's not the MVP of his team much less the league.

"what is supporting data? never heard of it"

The MVP is Wentz. He isnt going to win now that he is out but have you seen the difference in Philly since he has left. Its not even close in my opinion and I really dont think Im being a homer.

I love Gurley too... he won me a $1000 in my fantasy league but that trophy should be in Wentz's house.

What if there is no real MVP deserving of MVP this year, and we're just force-feeding candidates all year.

Vote Alex Smith for MVP Nihilism.

 

[Cyder]

I would go Gurley first and Wilson 2nd. I have no idea where the Seahawks would be without Wilson. No O line, no running game and a decimated D. Wilson will probably end up with about 4600 combined yards.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

I have 4400 scrimmage yards, a 26:5 ratio, a YPA around 8, and I league the league in passer rating. Why does nobody like me?

-Alex Smith somewhere

 

[PatsFan2003]

The last few weeks we've all seen why Gronk is going to the HOF as one of the Tight Ends ever but MVP? He's been just great lately but MVP is about a whole season.

I put Wilson and Gurley ahead of Gronk

(and behind Brady)

They haven’t lost since Wentz went down. I think that pretty much sums it up.

Mike Freeman's 10-Point Stance: Could a Wide-Open MVP Race Get Gronk'd?

Now, the scout's rankings:

First: Rob Gronkowski. "Tom [Brady] hasn't been Tom. He's still great but hasn't played at that level we're used to seeing. I feel like Gronk has saved the Patriots. What he did against the Steelers was one of the best tight end performances of the past 30 or 40 years."

(Can you be MVP if you missed a game down the stretch? And missed that game because of a one-contest suspension for a horrible cheap shot?)

"Yes, of course you can. Are you stupid?"

I am (even though the scout didn't actually say that), but let's move on.

Second: Aaron Donald. "I haven't seen a lineman, [playing] on the inside or out, have a year like this in a long time. If you took a camera and put it on him and people could watch just him play, he'd win the MVP hands down."

Third: Russell Wilson. "If the Seahawks make the playoffs, I'd move him to first or second. No one is better today at making something out of nothing."

Fourth: Todd Gurley. "Love his skill. Love everything he does. But to me, he's more of a flashy candidate."

Fifth: Tom Brady. "It's unfair to him. He's so good he's created unfair standards for himself. Any normal year, he's No. 1 easy."

Sixth: Cam Newton. "A very inspirational player. Rallies the team. Does a lot with less."

Seventh: Drew Brees. "He's been helped by the running game, but when teams focus on that, Drew kills them."

Eighth: Ben Roethlisberger. "I personally think this is the best year he's ever had." (I asked why he's not ranked higher.) "He's got a ton of help around him on offense. It's the most loaded offense in football."

Ninth: Le'Veon Bell. "Debated ranking him higher."

Tenth: Case Keenum. "I'm probably just as guilty as a lot of press and fans. I'm waiting for him to screw up more than appreciating how good he's been."

Please tell me you’re joking. You have to know Gronk doesn’t sniff the MVP.

Probably because he's coming off a rough stretch up until a couple of games ago but you make a good point.

Stop it. They looked absolutely atrocious vs the Giants and mustered up 8 yards in total offense the 2nd half vs a Raiders team that was eliminated, had no reason to play and had to fly 3500 miles leaving their families on Christmas while it was a HUUUUGE game for Philly. They were a top 3 O in the NFL with Wentz and now go 1-14 on 3rd down and 8 total yards against a bad D. Wentz is clearly the MVP. CLEARLY!

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

Or maybe the MVP is Dez Bryant. Nauseating. Guy has no clue...

“Some of the film I see, damn, I’m running routes a lot better than this person and this person,” Bryant said. “It’s all about the opportunities. Hey, it is what it is. Hey, I’m Dez Bryant, baby, all day.”

I disagree.
