BenVP!

My pick for NFL's MVP is hands down Tom Brady. And you know I must mean it because I hate the patriots. Brady is the only reason the Pats are in the playoffs this year (well that and the AFC East, but we can't make the dolphins, bills and jets all co-MVPs). Brady held that team together through injuries in the D and practically no running game. Every game he would have to throw (and throw well) to keep his team in it. And he did. Take Alexander out of Seattle and another running back fills his place. With their Defense they’re still not half bad. Peyton's a little tougher, but the rest of the team is also so good they would at least be in contention with another QB. And fear of Peyton is the only reason James does as well as he does. But take Brady away from the Pats this season and Miami wins the worst division in football. They would have nothing without him and that, by definition, is the Most Valuable Player.

That said, how about Ben Roethlisberger for MVP?
Pittsburgh is 11-5. Ben's out for 4 games and Pitt loses 2 of them they should have won. Pitt loses to Indy but Ben is still nursing an injury and you need your QB 100% to keep up with Peyton. So really Ben has only 2 losses, both to really good teams, Cincy and NE. I know, he won't get a single vote or even a mention, but Pittsburgh is obviously not the same team without him. And for a team that seems to rely on running and D how is it they can't win without their minimalist (yet impressive) Quarterback?
Big Ben for MVP!!!
