2015 NFL MVP EARLY PREDICTION THREAD

[jbw749]

Ok, get your predictions in now so you can brag you were right when it's announced.

 

I'm going with Adrian Peterson. If he gets to 2,000 yards and the Vikings win the NFC north I think he wins it over Brady or Newton.

[jbw749]

Actually after watching his highlights this year the Vikings may not have more than a couple wins without him.

Tom Brady and it won't be close. Luke Keuchley might get an invite to the ceremony

[SilverBullets]

AP is in the top 3 right now, no doubt. But I don't think he will get to 2000 yards and I don't think he will win the MVP. It's hard to argue with what Cam and Brady are doing right now. Unless AP goes off like he did late in the season in 2012, I think it's down to those 2. I think it ends up like this:

1. Cam Newton - After leading the Panthers to a 15-1 regular season record with a offense that looked completely depleted prior to the season, Cam brings home the MVP
2. Tom Brady - The Pats will end the season somewhere in the 14-2 or 13-3 range and it won't be enough for Brady to pass Cam. Statistically, TB may end up ahead of Cam but the record will speak for the trophy
3. AP - AP will easily win the rushing title and will lead the Vikes to the playoffs. AP Will finish in the neighborhood of 1700 yards and 13 tds. But Cammy Cam being 15-1 will be too much for him to pass.
4. Dalton - Throw a bone to my Cincy Bengals. Dalton will lead them to 12 wins, a division title and a #2 seed in the playoffs. Completely turning around his game, the Bengals will actually win a playoff game but will get manhandled in Foxboro.

Why no talk about Carson Palmer?

How many games has Cam outright won for the Panthers? If they're 15-1 with him, what would they be without? 13-3? Their defense is their MVP, heck I'd go Kuechly over Cam all day long.

[MrTmag]

Luke Kuechly is my pick... He leads the defense and ultimately is THE key to the panthers success. Cam is overrated and overhyped, without the defense they would barely be above the .500 mark if that.

Carson Palmer not even mentioned?

[jbw749]

What team benifits the most from one player?
Would Bill Belichick curl up in fetal position in his bedroom closet and never come out if Tom Brady wasn't on the team? No they would still win a lot of games.

[knock it close]

Carson over Dalton for the 4th spot. Cam's numbers are exceedingly underwhelming, he's bottom of the league in completion percentage, but he is winning games, so idk.

Yeah but I'm also from Minnesota and am admittedly biased.

How? 7 and 9 last year vs 8 and 3 this year 5 games left with a possible division title.

[/quote]Well I don't think this years pats would win 7 games without Tom. I also think without AP this years Vikings team is slightly better. Don't want to take anything away from AP though, he is a difference maker.

[LouieLouie]

I don't think they will give it to AP for political reasons (child abuse issues). Most likely ditto for Tom Brady (deflate gate issues) but the NFL seems to have a love hate relationship with him for some reason.

I could see it going to Cam, Red Rifle, or Palmer no matter what the stats say. I think my vote is for Cam because there is a high probability of them going 16-0.

[ccorrada]

Scam Newton

[dcmidnight]

Right now I would vote:

1 - Cam. Just an absolutely absurd year. People continue to sleep on how good he is playing right now and I have no idea why.
2 - Brady. Watched every Pats game, follow 8-10 Boston writers on Twitter - and still hadn't heard of the WRs they ran out there last week. Hadn't *heard* of them. Brady continues to do it with whoever they throw out there.
3 - AP. He's had a few stinker games this year and a couple of monsters. Dont see him getting anywhere near 2,000 yards.

Think it will be Brady or Newton but if the Bears manage to make the playoffs he'd be a good dark horse. The thing that is similar about all 3 of them is no matter how much everything falls apart around them they keep finding a way to get it done.

No one saw it coming in 2012 either, but at this point in the season AP's rushing totals are the same as they were 2012 where he fished with 2,100.

I'm a Bengals fan... Carson can go fly a kite as far as I'm concerned. Dude is a total tool.

[highergr0und]

Brady, Palmer, AP. None of those teams would be where they are without those guys. I think Carolina is at 1, maybe 2 losses tops without Cam. This may be one of Brady's best years if he finishes 14-2 or maybe 13-3 with the injuries he's working with

27 total touchdowns is underwhelming? Lolololololol

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Cam has put together a few very good outings lately compared to early season games but honestly not even the mvp of his own team.

And I should have said passing numbers, his rushing numbers are elite.

That's awesome! Notice that ball is always protected dude never fumbled.

[cdnglf]

Gronkowski. Makes Tom Deflator look like a good QB.

[MoneyPlayer33]

Tom Brady all day long . Especially if he can go 4-1 his last 5 games using guys from the practice squad

[LouieLouie]

I want to change my vote to Richard Rogers! That catch just saved the packers season! haha
