NFL MVP update

[PDay8810]

And there are those players like Brady that do galvanize a team better than others. Carr is, Rodgers is, Rothlesberger is. (All QBs I'd take over Ryan BTW) Maybe Ryan has become that type of player this year but in the past he really wasn't one of those.

ryan is a poor mans Romo till he proves otherwise

Ahh Romo.. A talented but in the end not quite great QB.

seems accurate at this point and ryan has done less

Sure

Let's see Brady has turned down to be captain, doesn't go to Probowls , so that the younger guys can, didn't go to the White House after the SB but he give's a rats ass about MVP

I think about 75% of the players voted to the Pro Bowl, especially veterans, don't go.....Id probably say the larger reason is that once you did it once or twice, it becomes a "been there, done that" and guys would rather just begin their vacations and let their bodies heal

I think Brady cares as much, or as little, about the MVP and Pro Bowl, as any other guy out there

Fair enough but I have seen many QB's be there alot

Then you factor in things like guys still nursing injuries, surgeries that were put off and players going the SB. Now throw in they want players to go to OrlandoThis will likely be the worst pro bowl ever.

The NFL needs to take a hard look at how, when and where they conduct the pro bowl. As it stands now it's a joke.

Its true. The shitshow of QB's that end up playing in that game sometimes, because the first 15 guys said "No Thanks"...I think Matt Hasselback went last season....

Even worse, Eli Manning last year

I don't get it? Seriously i like Eli because he is one of the toughest SOB's out there, He gets muckled, gets out looking retarded and keeps playing, much respect. Him , Rivers and Brady in top 10 of most consecutive starts. too many players are fragile. look at Garrop porr bastage lasts 6 Q's before he gets hurt

Sometimes no rhyme or reason...Eli has played behind some brutal Olines, and I don't even remember him ever staying down for a few moments......Maybe he is just too goofy to realize he has a concussion and a broken fibula?

One thing I do notice with him is the way he positions himself when a big hit seems to be coming, never really seems to take that brutal Flush hit

Opening game of 2007. 4rth quarter Dallas slammed him on his shoulder. Sideline reporter had him missing 2 months. The next week he started vs GB

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

J Lo finished the game

Stats are just a tool, not the end all of everything. Why watch the games.. Why take into consideration those factors that cannot be measured accurately.

I truly and honestly don't care if Brady doesn't win the MVP and neither does Brady..

I don't care much for individual awards myself, but not sure how you know Brady's true feelings on the subject...

I'd imagine the players themselves, being fierce vompetitors, actually do care about winning individual awards. Not more than winningv titles of course but I see more way they wouldn't want the individual awards too. Not if they're truly elite athletes anyway

You mean over lunch or something? Or when discussing Giselle's latest coffee table book?

You really called me on that...

I would bet he's said as much in so many ways about statistics, records and awards over the years

Did he seriously give that as the reason he doesn't go to Probowls???

These sound like players that need to chill out a little bit.

No I gave it for him, his PR guy
