MVP

January 4, 2009 The Rant No Comments

Ok, so by now you have heard that Peyton Manning has won his third MVP award tying him with Brett Favre are the only players in NFL history to win 3 times.  I think there is something wrong with this picture.  Most of the info that I hear talk about how he won this because had offensive line and running game issues and still was able to perform at a high level.  Not that this is incorrect but I think there was another QB with a similar situation and put up better numbers, Kurt Warner (he got 1 vote).  ONE VOTE!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME????  The Cardinals are awful with Matt Leinhart at the helm and yet they put Warner in there and they have the #2 offense in the league.  Another guy that had a good year, hmmmm lets see, how about DREW BREES!!!!  He came within 15 yards of breaking the NFL’s single season passing record for yardage and this was with his best receiver missing half the season but he was still able to the fill-ins look like pro bowlers and he did not get one single vote?????  Chad Pennington gets four and Brees and Warner combine for 1 vote.  Something is definitely wrong. 

Here is all the voting:

Player Team Votes
Peyton Manning Colts 32
Chad Pennington Dolphins 4
Michael Turner Falcons 4
Adrian Peterson Vikings 3
James Harrison Steelers 3
Philip Rivers Chargers 2
Chris Johnson Titans 1
Kurt Warner Cardinals 1

Of course this is just my take.  I also think Albert Haynesworth should have got some consideration but yet again received 0 votes.  I think the voters should look at each season and not at a players body of work.
