In my opinion, Peyton Manning won the MVP in week 1 when Tom Brady went down with an injury. Think about it. No other player in the NFL is even worthy of such an honor and, as much as I hate to admit it, the guy earned every bit of this award by leading his team to the playoffs after starting the season with a 3-4 record.Without question, it took every bit of focus to put the Indianapolis Colts in position to make a run; however, winning the MVP has become a death nail of sorts -- especially the last couple of seasons. Still, Peyton gets all the credit in the world for playing through injury and a makeshift offense that really didn’t start clicking until mid-season; but I think some honorable mention should go towards RB Adrian Peterson.
If this guy’s heart could be measured, he would’ve won the MVP in my book; but he fumbled that away with his inability to hold on to the ball. Too many turnovers cost him a prestigious honor and until he proves otherwise, you have no choice but to consider him a liability. Vikings fans already do so, although he makes a lot of things happen offensively, think of it as a gift and a curse. At least that way things are [somewhat] put into perspective.
*The Indianapolis Colts lost to the San Diego Chargers on Wildcard Weekend; thus keeping the “MVP curse” alive.
