Moss being such a huge passing threat immensely helped Portis by making it so defenses couldn't consistently leave 8 men at the line to stop the run. Secondary nods go to Cooley, Brunell, and Portis. The defense as whole gets the nod but if anyone deserved to be singled out it has to Marcus Washington who has practically turned into the heart and soul of our defense.

Real tough one here because I think both Portis, Moss and Brunell have a good claim. I vote for Moss because he really was the missing piece that we didn't have last year and our offense was clearly much better off once he was brought in. I know Portis was even better this year and of course Brunell was better and did everything asked of him but if we lose those guys I think we have capable backups. If we lose Moss we are finished.

cant decide b/t portis and moss. i think moss really opened up our offense but portis definitely carried the load.

My top 3 are Portis, Moss and Brunell. And it's very hard to pick between them. I'm also torn between Taylor and Washington on the D.
I think we need 4 votes - MVP, O MVP, D MVP & ST MVP. I'm torn between Sellers and Jimoh on the last one.

Mark Brunell. The Comeback Player of the Year, and 2005 Probowler season. After the worst quarterback rating in the NFL to the leader of a solid arsenal on offense he's the main reason we are playing in Tampa.
portis.............he's the backbone to our offense.......

Brunell...it all starts with the QB. Without the improved play at QB this year we are right where we were last year. Portis has no room to run without a compitent passing game and Moss can't catch it if someone doesn't put it there. It is a team game no doubt, but I think we have seen enough bad QB play here for the last 15 years to know that you don't win in this league without a compitent QB...

I'm with Demk25 on this. This team and season has a magic all of it's own. Unlike the Norv, Marty, and Spurrier years, this team does not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Years past we would all wait for that "unexplained bad thing" to happen. Now it's like the ball games play-out like they should with no unforseen mishaps.

Portis. The guy put on weight and shared his duties with Betts early in the year so that now he can go out and put the game on his shoulders. He worked hard in the offseason, learned to fit into the system, and became a leader.
It also helped that he had Moss and Brunnel... and that defense...

If it were my season ball to give, I'd have to give it to the coaching staff... as far as the team goes, there were times in the season where the offense carried a big play vulnerable D, and there were times when the D has won games for us by themselves.. and all of the players are as valuble as the next... so I couldn't give a game ball to any specific player. I don't think one player on this team deserves any more recognition than the next, but I think they all deserve alot.
You have to look at guys like Robert Royal, Ladell Betts, Walt Harris, Ade Jimoh, and all of the other unheralded players on this team that have made the season look like we've been almost injury free, and have allowed us to perform no matter who was in the lineup... the season has been the epitomy of a team effort week in and week out, and that's how you win ballgames consistantly.
