Next year do you think Steven Jackson has a chance to become NFL MVP? He did have the most yards from scrimmage last year. What do you think his chances are and explain. Start with a true or false answer then an explanation. Thanks.

Fiction, Marc Bulger would be more likely to win it if the MVP award is going to a Ram.
Despite the Rams' coaches' wish for more running, look at their recievers. With Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce, Drew Bennett, Dante Hall, and Randy McMichael as your targets... you throw the ball. And that would give Marc Bulger the advantage in any MVP contest, assuming the Rams play well and win the division.

Fact. He's coming into his own this year, and his size makes up for a suspect offesive line. The Rams appear to be ready to take the NFC west division this year and this guy is a huge part of the club. Great moves, power and finese, and vision allowed him to lead the league in yards from the LOS. Can also catch out of the backfield and is dangerous in the open field. Look at his perfomance against the vikings last year (Min had the best run D). He scored 4 times ALL ON THE GROUND. He'll take the NFL by storm next year...only way he can be derailed is if LT goes off for another insane TD scoring season (which isn't that hard to see actually). I'd still just my money on S-Jax however.

Fiction. Steven Jackson is a yards guy only, he can pound the ball up and down the field but his talent is limited to between the 20's and thats it, he'll never be the touchdown back which is what teams want now a days considering the growing competition.
Tom Brady will be the league MVP this year whether people like it or not. Just look at everything he's been able to do so far in his career without any kind of help on offense. Now that he has Moss, Stallworth, Welker, and Washington added to his receiving core there is really no limit to the numbers Brady is going to be able to put up this year not to mention wins.

Absolute Fact!
He touches the ball almost every single down. The Rams offense is only going to improve the second year under Linhan, and with the additions of McMichael and Bennett. Check the "Predators" stats out...he is an absolute beast, and if it wasn't for LTs ridiculous season Jackson could of have a shot last year...If not the league MVP, definitely Fantasy MVP

Fiction, unless he breaks a record Marshall Faulk held as a ram. Faulk IS what defines a perfect ram running back in the eyes of many people so until Jackson breaks a Faulk record (TDS or YDS from scrimmage) he will not win the MVP award.

fact.. i'm gonna go against the crowd on this one... I think he has a good chance, b/c ladanian tomlinson repeating is slim, plus hes due for a breakout season this year. He had a great season last year and he'll do even better. Hes a good runningback on the rise thats in a potent offense with a potent scheme/ coaching staff that brings out the best of his talent. Hes the dual threat and he gets lots of yards and he has a nose for the endzone. His numbers have risen every new season for the most part... and that will continue into this season.

Fact.....
The Rams will need him for all 16 games to make a playoff push, while Tomlinson and Manning COULD get rested late when their respective playoff positions MIGHT be locked up.
PLUS Steven Jackson is a young great RB. This is all based on opinion but I like his chances.
Tomlinson is more of a little guy(for RB purposes) and could run into durability issues.

The Rams have offensive line issues so his established production will probable no longer be as much as final season. Taking into co nsideration that he's definitely considered one of the 8th or 9th ultimate lower back interior the NFL and the Rams could have somewhat a triumphing season, if in any respect, he has no possibility.

True
Guys a stud runner who didn't get the credit he deserved last year cuz of Tomlinson. He'll reach around 2,300 yards and 20 touchdowns next year as long as runs behind Orlando Pace. MVP for sure.

False Because there is alot of good running backs but LaDainian Tomlinson is on a whole nother level he is the best current running back and if he don;t get hurt will be the greatest of all time
