dgack 12-13-2006, 01:46 AM Brees would get my vote.
Sticking with the 'most valuable' description, there's no way New Orleans is where they are without Brees. San Diego could probably still be right in the thick of things with another back. LT has been amazing, but Brees has taken that entire team on his shoulders.
LT has singlehandedly won several games for the Bolts in the 4th quarter this year, though. It's a huge copout, but I can't think of a better use of the "let's share it" plan, than Brees-LT. All the better because they're ex-teammates!
GTripp0012 12-13-2006, 03:21 AM Well, the player having the best season in the NFL is LaDainian Tomlinson, but I think you have to wait these final 3 weeks before picking the MVP. A lot can happen in 3 weeks, or the last fifth of the season, but don't count out a darkhorse like a Carson Palmer or a Larry Johnson if the Chiefs make a run either.
This moment, the MVP of the league is Brees, but in the words of Charlie Weis, "you are always remembered by how you finish."
GTripp0012 12-13-2006, 03:26 AM LT would be very hard pressed to not get MVP, they arent going to give it to a rookie over LT.
With that beign said, the bears are also a #1 seed so that doesnt make your argument better for LT over Hester. And Hester has made them win a few games because grossman sure as hell doesnt help them win.
I dont even know if Hester will get rookie of the year though, young, colston both are having good years. as is bush.My vote for ROY is Maurice Drew, and in a landslide. I think playing in Jacksonville is part of it, but how can this guy get so little pub? He's averaging 6.1 YPC. Dear lord.

Frank Gore :homer:
Brees...
jsarno 12-13-2006, 09:06 PM LT hands down. San Diego without LT would have 7 wins or so right now...LT is a HUGE factor. The biggest value to ANY team anywhere. Brees is big, yes, but no LT.
PS- Jones-Drew is the new Barry Sanders...what a delight to watch.
Redskins8588 12-14-2006, 02:40 AM If I was a betting man, I would take the sure bet and bet that LT takes home the MVP. The biggest reason why LT, IMO, will get the nod of MVP is because of the publicity he is getting for breaking records.
I don't know where San Diego would be with out him, but I would be pretty confident to say that they would have more than 7 wins with Mike Turner in thier backfield. I mean LT gets the TD's but people offten forget that he has one of the best fullbacks in Lorenzo Neal plowing the way for him. Hell even LT admits that his success is in part to Neal paving the the way for him.
With that being said I believe that Brees deserves the nod for MVP. He basicly put that team on his back this whole season. My biggest argument for Brees is this, put Aaron Brooks back on the Saints at QB with Coleston, Horn, Bush, McAllister. Would the Saints with Brooks be where they are at now? I highly doubt it, hell even with the current back up QB the Saints are no where close to the same team.
If Brees was on pace to break Mannings single season TD record then I think that there would be alot of hype around Brees. But the fact of the matter is, is that Brees is getting it done quietly and maybe getting overlooked...

724Skinsfan 12-14-2006, 07:38 AM Very close between LT and Brees, but if I'm voting I give the nod to Brees due his bounce-back from an injury to his throwing arm.
12thMan 12-14-2006, 09:11 AM LT will run away with it. The reason why I favor him over Brees is because the defense is looking for LT on every single play, and he still does his thing. Also, it's not like he's just accumulating stats, it's the fashion in which he does it. In other words, LT will win because of 'style points'.
It's just wild to think the Chargers had/have all that talent on one roster.
I remember when I lived in San Diego for some years the fans there would constantly bash the GM and owner, but in hindsight it looks like this guy knows his job.
