Haha, sure, that's why it's called the best player in the league award....except it's not. It's called most valuable, which implies more than a superior individual performance.

There is no question that Manning meant more to his team this year than any other player. By far his greatest season, better than the 49 TD campaign, and look out for that team in the playoffs.

I'm very surprised that the defensive players didn't get more votes. Pennington, Brees, Matt Ryan, Rivers, DeAngelo Williams all good picks as well. Ultimately though, Manning was the only solid selection at the end of the day.

Did three writers really piss away votes on Adrian Peterson? I guess the game-killing fumbles were someone elses fault. Somewhere, Ladell Betts' 2006 season is crying.
