MVP Race!

So far this year in the NFL has been one of the best. A lot of teams are contenders, and almost everyone is a MVP candidate. However, there are only 3 true MVP candidates: Brett Favre, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady.

Now I like what Favre and Brees have done respectively for the unbeaten clubs, but Brady has this locked in the bag!

First off, Brady's schedule has been way more difficult so far this season and the Patriots are still one of the leagues division leaders.

What more can you ask for? They've played a playoff contending team every week. Who have the Vikings, and Saints played?

But enough of about the Pats, let's get to Brady himself. The guy missed a whole year and half with a bum knee, and now look what he's doing. 12 touchdowns and just 2 interceptions in only 6 games. Are we witnessing another 2007 type year? I doubt it, but he can definitely come close.

Everybody's forgetting about Brady because of that injury, and that's a bit stupid of them. Last week alone he threw 6 touchdowns (5 in the first quarter, which set an NFL record) against the Titans, and in the snow at that. And I don't want to hear, "well the Titans aren't a good team anyway" because they won 13 games last year.

I'm just saying Brady is back to normal now, so that means the Pats will be scoring 40 points per game each week. Good luck to all who those defenses who have to play Brady in the upcoming weeks. Maybe you'll get lucky and your offense makes sure you guys don't come on the field.

Moreover, if there was anybody who could overthrow Brady for MVP it would be the Saints QB Drew Bress. I'm not a big fan of him but the guy is really good. The funny part about it is that his team will probably decrease his chances of winning, just like last year.

Brees easily had the MVP locked up last year with his statistics alone, but the Saints 8-8 record just made the decision to not pick him so much easier.

Now the Saints are 5-0 now and they'll probably finish the season atop the NFC, but I just don't think he'll have the criteria when voting time comes around to win. Sorry Drew, maybe finishing second place again wont be that bad.

Finally, to the most entertaining QB in the league, Brett Favre. I wish you all could see the expression on my face when I just said this guys name. Favre just knows how to have the spotlight on him and always on him, but at least now it's a good light.

Everybody hates his return to retire attitude, but it does make for good tv. As for his numbers, Favre has a good shot to win his third MVP award. He's doing everything that he was brought it to do, but doing a way better job than any of us thought.

His downfall is going to be that he isn't even the best player on his team, and because Adrian Peterson will continue to torch every defense that comes in his path. If illegible Brett can definitely win the Comeback Player Award. Maybe!

Other notable candidates would be reigning MVP Peyton Manning who is still doing what he does best, even though I think he gets too much credit for the Colts success. Also, just mentioned Vikings tailback Andrian Peterson, who has separated himself from the other running backs in the league by miles. My sleeper pick to win the award is Safety Troy Polamalu from the Steelers, who with the time can do everything on field.

We have plenty of time until we find our MVP, but this is probably how it will look at seasons end. Good Luck To All!!
