		<description><![CDATA[Man, some of you are truly ignorant. Did any of you actually bother to watch a Panther game this year? I assume not cuz Luke Kuechly was a massive reason why The Panthers&#039; D improved. His pre-snap adjustments are unparalleled by 95% of LBs in the league. Luke&#039;s football IQ and instincts, tackling prowless and coverage skills make him one of the best in the game today. He&#039;s always around the football and rarely misses on a tackle.

By the by, our D-Line was better than last year. Dwan Edwards and Ron Edwards provided stability and Greg Hardy transformed into an elite defensive end. So, yeah, do some research before talking out of your asses about tackling numbers. Kuechly is just THAT good. Don&#039;t hate.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Difficult to argue with any of these selections.

After Week 8, I was chanting &quot;Start Flynn!&quot;  After Week 10, I shut up, and after Week 12 I accepted that we had a genuine franchise QB on our hands in &quot;DangeRuss&quot; Wilson.

Looks like Florio and Company can&#039;t ignore the writing on the wall any more than I can.  This Seahawks team is FOR REAL!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So RGIII had 5 interceptions and 12 fumbles and RW3 had 10 interceptions and 5 fumbles.  We are talking ball control here not turnovers which depend on other people and factors.

Meaning that RW3 has much better ball control than RGIII.   

RGIII was picked to be a starter.  RW3 had to earn it.  It took almost half the season before RW was given license to play the way he has for the last 8-10 games.

Also look at QBR RGIII has season average of 71.4  to RW3 69.6, however, RGIII has one less game so if he had a bad game it would be less and a great game more.  BUT if you look over the last 13 weeks RW has had a high QBR average than RGIII by an average 0f 4.4  so RW3 has been playing better since week 5 of the season and has had the highest weekly QBR of any quarterback 3 times this year - more than anyone else to RGIII&#039;s 1 time.  So who has improved as the season progressed RW and who has faltered (very slightly) RGiii - the obvious winner Russell Wilson.  Passer rating for RGiii last 9weeks = 102.12 for Russell Wilson 114.43  who is getting better and  who has stayed the same?  Winner Russell Wilson. Who is the hotter QB right now ??? RW no question.

RGiii wracked up his stats by playing middle more middle of the road teams. 

Let me see Russell Wilson played and beat WHO? The Patriots #2 seed AFC, 49rs NFC #2 seed GB NFC #3 seed &amp; Vikings #6 seed NFC.  The only 2 NFC playoff teams they have not beaten are the one&#039;s they haven&#039;t played. Also beat the Bears and Cowboys who were eliminated from playoffs by GB losing to Vikings and Cowboys loss to Redskins for the Division.

RGIII beat the Ravens # 4 seed (by virtue of Division win) Beat Vikings #6 seed NFC
lost to Falcon NFC #1 Seed NFC
lost to Bengals #6 seed AFC

Washington would not even be in the playoffs except their division is so weak that the only way to get in to the playoffs was to win it.  Being a wild card in the toughest division in football is says much more about the team than a division win in the weakest DIV of the NFC. 

If you know how just do your own spreadsheet analysis the numbers don&#039;t lie.]]></description>

Manning had the best passer rating in the NFL. Oh wait that was Aaron Rodgers.

Manning had the best TD-INT ratio, oh wait that was Aaron Rodgers too. 

Manning had 37 TD&#039;s, oh wait Rodgers had 39TD

Manning only threw 11 INTS, Rodgers only threw 8 INTs.

I have to ask why is Manning even in this conversation if his stats are not even better then Aaron Rodgers&#039;?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazing.  AP should soooo be the run away MVP.  He definitely changed the way his offense played from the year before.  He took a running team (the number one rushing team last year) and made it a passing team. Wait that was Peyton.  AP must have taken the offense that led the league in 3 and outs last year, which kept the D the field (23rd D).  And made it a top 5 offense that sustained drives and let the defense work with a lead.  The defense also led the league in sacks and became a top five D.  That must have been the Vikings right? No, that was Denver too?!? Well that&#039;s okay,I mean AP is like a offensive coordinator on the field, you hear that all the time about AP right?  Wait, is that Peyton too?!?!  Wow, well gosh I just think that AP should get the MVP.  I mean last year when he didn&#039;t play his team only won 2 games and got the number one pick in the draft...so there is proof! Heck people were talking about how AP should be the mvp last year and he didn&#039;t even play last year!  What?! That was Peyton too?!?  Wait, I thought peyton played all but like one game and still only got 3 wins on the season.  It can&#039;t be that big of  difference since Peyton was on the team last year too right? What? That was AP?!?  Well yeah I&#039;m sure none of these points are important for the most valuable player award.  It just has to be ap!]]></description>

Peterson had a historically great season. There&#039;s a big difference.

The Broncos won a playoff game with Tim Tebow last year, without Manning. The Vikings would be a 3 win team without Peterson. Vikings opponents knew that Peterson was the only weapon that offense has. They knew what was coming. They tried stacking the box. And they still couldn&#039;t stop him.

Hardly anyone is going to remember Peyton Manning&#039;s 2012 season years from now.  Hardly anyone is going to forget what Peterson did this year.

Peterson is the MVP. By a mile.]]></description>

Thomas davis was on the verge of becoming a star and possibly a pro-bowler before he tore his acl in 2009. Kept coming back and retore his acl. Heck, even with the injuries the panthers still gave him a contract extension. The fact that he can walk, let alone play, is remarkable.]]></description>

As to the RGIII vs Russell Wilson argument, we&#039;ll all find out in a week. My money is on the Seahawks and Russell Wilson. Wilson is a more complete QB and he&#039;ll prove that on Sunday. That Seahawks defense is going to make RGIII look bad, especially if he plays the way he did against the pathetic Cowgirls.]]></description>

I like the list. The only issue I have is with the Comeback player of the year. I like that Manning and Peterson are sharing the award.

However, Thomas Davis of the Panthers deserves at least an honorable mention. In a normal year, he’d win the award hands down after three consecutive year-ending knee injuries.

==============================

I&#039;ve never heard of Thomas Davis and I&#039;m a pretty active NFL fan.  If casual fan can&#039;t identify a player, they are not eligible for post season awards.  Why you&#039;ll never see a Right Guard win an MVP...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How does Elway win Exec over Schneider?  All Elway did was sign one of the best QB&#039;s in the history of football that every GM that isn&#039;t drunk or stupid would have signed as long as he could walk or throw a football.  

So basically Elway did what every GM or fan would have done and he&#039;s being rewarded?

Schneider found a franchise QB in the third round and almost every draft pick he had starts or contributes serious time for a team that won 11 games.

Seems pretty obvious he doesn&#039;t even deserve the award over Grigson either.  

The Broncos with Tebow would have won the west again this year.  That division is beyond pathetic.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I swear I called it after week 3 or 4…I knew that Seattle had something special in Wilson. If you step back and look at everything as a whole, Wilson deserves ROY more than Luck or RGIII, and thats not saying that Luck/RGIII aren’t beasts, because they are. But someone said it the other day and it got me thinking. Luck &amp; RGII came into the leauge KNOWING they were being handed the starting job. Wilson on the other hand, came into a situation where Flynn had just signed a huge contract, &amp; by all indications was the Seahawks starter. Wilson came in &amp; simply outperformed, outplayed the competition from the start, &amp; hasnt looked back. A 3rd round STEAL!!! Wonderful story, and he has my vote!! To be clear, Im not a Seahawk fan, but a Bronco fan, but more or less these days, a Football fan]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey jhoskins76, there&#039;s a HUGE error in your statistical comparison of Wilson and RG3. Griffin dos NOT have 17 turnovers -- nowhere close. He has only only 7 -- five interceptions, and 2 lost fumbles. You seem to be counting up all his fumbles, including the ones that were recovered by the him (or another Redskins). But fumbles that are retained by team that committed them are NOT &quot;turnovers&quot; by definition, and cannot be counted in the turnover category.

So let me correct your sentence: &quot;So RGIII won in completion %, yards, QB rating and fewer turnovers.&quot; There. So how does your comparison look now?]]></description>
