Desmond Howard shouldn’ta gotten the MVP.

It’s as simple as that.

They both had great games and Boldin as well. It’s too close to call for me and I understand that in that situation it’s usually going to go to the QB. That’s just how it works.

Hmmmmm, having three Ravens players play so well in the super bowl that it’s tough to decide which one was the MVP.

This is an amazing problem to have.

Jones is amazing. I love it. What a pickup by Oz and Co.

For the record…. Jacoby wasn not cut by the Texans… His agent asked Texans GM Rick Smith to release him so he could sign with another team.

The Texans were very happy with Jacoby but the fans and media weren’t. And they let him know it. I think the pressure was a bit much for him and he asked to be released.

The NFL has no equivalent to the NHL’s Conn Smythe Trophy, which is awarded to the MVP of the playoffs. So, the Superbowl MVP sort of serves as the defacto award for this, not necessarily just the one game. With this in mind, there is no doubt that 11 TD passes, no interceptions and 4 wins (inc. 3 road games) make Joe Flacco the MVP.

Flacco gets MVP for getting the team 3 TD passes early.

Jones had an awesome night. His TD pass was awesome, given that he had to retreat, juke and sprint past multiple defenders to score.

Just glad the Texans shipped him out of the AFC South.

Jacoby was “showing off” for his hometown crowd and relatives. Yes, he’s originally from New Orleans. It was also him who burned the Broncos for that last second TD in the playoff game that they “stole” from Denver. Good show.

Flacco won this MVP hands down. Without Flacco’s performance, they aren’t even sniffing the Lombardi trophy. Some kind of honorable metion should go to Paul Kruger another key contributor without whom the Ravens aren’t in this one. He was a monster on D. Jacoby Jones had a great game, but he doesn’t score on that 56 TD pass unless Flacco lays in in the way he did; benefit Flacco. Same thing on Boldin & Pitta’s TD’s. Flacco just became a very rich man in that game.

Hey Joe – How about giving the Toyota Tundra or whatever car you got to Jones since you are looking at a $14-20 million dollar payday this off-season and Jones is not. Nobody really cares about the MVP except Flacco’s agent anyway.

flacco is the mvp, in as much as it pains me to say that.

Oh was he not the MVP? It just gets so generic with a QB.

Jacoby played one hell of a game. Kinda funny how last yr he botched 2 punts vs Baltimore in the playoffs and got cut. 1 yr later and he was the best return man this yr

If Jones didn’t drop 2 punts and a kickoff, he probably would have been MVP.

Joe played far better than any of his critics thought he ever would against that defense.

Honestly, and you HAVE to acknowledge this–if Tom Brady, Rodgers, Roethlisburger, or any other aforementioned “ELITE” QB put up THESE numbers against the 9ers, the world would be crowning them, and no one would question why they are given the MVP award. FACT.

Call him top five, call him top 10. But you best call him a Super Bowl Champion. And a true MVP.

They got it right. Jones had a great game, but tell me which scenario you’d rather have…

A.
Flacco goes down early and Ravens replace him with Tyrod Taylor for the game.

B.
Jacoby Jones goes down early and is replaced with LaQuan Williams for the game.

Pretty sure everyone would go with B. Like I said Jones had a great game and was an X factor, but Flacco was more valuable.

Jones had two game changing plays, one of which Flacco was the pass from Flacco. Flacco deserved MVP. Now he gets paid. Congrats ravens but it seems the key to winning it all is to do it before your qb gets paid. Seems a bit harder with 30% of your cap tied up in one guy. Hard to blame the qbs but they are really handcuffing their squads.

Jacoby was incredible, and if the game was over after his return TD, he would probably have won it, but I think Joe really managed to get a hold of the team after many of them appeared to lose concentration after the blackout, and shepherded the team to a win. And that’s why I think it was rightly Joe’s award.

I’m going to say no. His TD came up 21-6 and never had a long return after that. Howard had 2 TDs I believe……outside the TD you wouldn’t have know Jones even played in this game. I’m not giving it to him for that unless it was late with the game tied or something similar

When was the last time a non-QB won the MVP?

Its predictable and a moot point to try and argue
