While we can all agree that he will not win the MVP, there's really no debate there, I really don't see how there's much argument in that he's truly the most valuable offensive player in the NFL.
Now we could certainly make a strong argument for Troy Polamalu being the most valuable player in the NFL bar none, but I hate the Steelers way to much to make it.

Ok so for MVP we are to take the valuable in the most literal sense of the word? How valuable that specific player is? My concern with that is that you then have to take alot more into consideration. Things like who his back up is, what type of defense the team has (or offense if a defensive player ever wins again) what the offensive line is like, there are just too many things to take into consideration. I think it should go to the player who played at the highest level that year, and how many wins they would have lost without that player should be taken out of the equation.
