NFL MVP next year? Brady? Manning? LT? LJ? Palmer?

Question

Years closest to winning MVP:
Manning: 2003, 2004 (4267 yards, 4557 yards, won both)
Brady: 3rd place 2005 (4110 yards)
LT: (1815 yards, 5.2 y/c, won)
LJ: (1750 yards, 5.2 y/c)
Palmer: 5th place 2005 (3836 yards)

Answer 1

I'm thinking LT is going to win it. I also think Drew Brees will be in the running for it again.

Answer 2

I'm going with Frank Gore. He was the best RB in the NFL last year (he had 1600 yards, only a few hundred off LT and LJ, despite only getting 300 carries when the bigger names got 400ish).

I'm picking San Francisco to win the Wild Card, while Arizona wins the West and goes to Super Bowl XLII. If Alex Smith continues his strong play from the end of the year, Frisco could end up as the next San Diego. Arizona was a team that blew all their potential for most of the year, but they were much better by the end of the year when they let Deuce Lutui start on the line and he aided Edge in turning it around (Edge was back to the 4 yards a carry of his Indy days by year's end) and helped Leinart to turn the corner. Frisco VS Zona could be the NFC Championship game this year.

When he was a Freshman at Miami and the Hurricanes were on their way to an undefeated season and a National Championship, they had pulled Washington RB Clinton Portis, Buffalo RB Willis McGahee and Steeler backup Najah Davenport from a game and the opposing coach was relieved, until he realized that Frank Gore was better than all of them. Following his breakout year in the NFL, he may be on the verge of an MVP year.

Answer 3

Tom Brady is a strong contender. Its Brady you guys, the QB who has 3 Bowl Rings 2 MVPs in the Bowl this man can do anything! Last year with a WR corps in shambles he pulls a team to the AFC Championship and almost beat the Colts. This year with the acquiring of Welker and 2 first round draft picks I see the Patriots drafting a talented WR with one of the picks and who knows maybe the second do. This year the Pats are the team to beat. With Thomas acquired in a huge deal and possibly the best off-season pick up he now enhances the already deadly D. So as for the MVP, I say Mr. 12 is the safe bet.

Answer 4

Well I am going to go out on a limb here and say Drew Brees.

He is headlining the number one offense in the league, and on any occasion can throw for over 500 yards in a game.

Comeback player of the year to MVP the next year, I'd say that is a good bet.

Answer 5

I think that either Carson Palmer or Drew Brees. I think this is gonna be the Bengals and Carson Palmer's year to win the division, first week bye, and make it to the superbowl. Drew Brees is also a great quarterback and is the best in the NFC. If Carson doesn't win it Brees will.

Answer 6

I hope it's Brady.. I think he'll have enough targets to post some decent numbers..

More likely it will be Manning, LT, or a sack machine like Shawne Merriman..

Answer 7

i think of Steve Smith is going to have issues w/ the hamstring and Manning is going to sense the end results of James being long gone. I are watching for Larry Johnson is going to have a daft 3 hundred and sixty 5 days.

Answer 8

Ben Roethlisberger will come back from a nightmare season and shock the world. He'll win Comeback Player of the Year if not MVP.

Answer 9

It may come down between LT and Philip Rivers. Perhaps Brees.

Answer 10

Christina Okoye? JK.... My guess would have to be LT if he stays healthy and my suprise pick's will be Steven Jackson , Dree Brees or Chad Johnson
