Sometimes awards like this are given in part on a past merit basis. I don't think Polamalu has ever won one right? Kinda reminds me of the 88 nba season I think, Magic got MVP, but everyone knew that Jordan was already the best. Magic got it after a great year, but also due to his past accomplishments.
I'm not saying TP didn't deserve it though, just saying his career to date has been exceptional & that might have something to do w/him getting it.

Hall even at a distant 3rd? seriously?
The only cb that I can think of that had a DPOY type season is Charles Tillman. Revis was great but missed some games & was slowed a bit in others by his injury.

Yeah, I think you gotta roll with D. Hall considering all the luck involved.

I wonder if D Hall even cracked the Top 10 here. He surely would not have been on my ballot.
