Who's everyone thinking about for MVP? Farve seems to be the favorite, and it would be cool to see him get it this late in the career. I feel like Brees may deserve it a little more, because he is the keystone that makes his team run. Saints don't have AP, Harvin, or the Vike's D. I know it's not possible, but damned if Vince Young isn't a prime candidate for MVP. 0-6 without him, 5-0 with him, pretty much defines MVP.

If the Titans would have started Young 3 weeks earlier after going 0-3 and he did then what he's done now, he may have a valid case. But at this point, MVP and pro bowl decisions will have already been made before he even gets them to a winning record.

As for Favre, he is the missing piece of the puzzle in Minnesota. Having said that, they were also a pre built playoff team that just needed a nudge over the top. I still think Manning is the front runner for MVP, being that he is a player his team could absolutely not win without. Not to mention his team is undefeated. I would say the MVP's go like this: Manning, Brees, and Favre as 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

After managing to help keep his team undefeated for the last few weeks I have to give it to Peyton. Drew Brees is definately a very close second. I don't think Favre deserves it b/c I think any good quarterback could have similar success playing on Minnesota with all the offensive weapons they have.

Haha, I'm a Bills fan too! I hate the Dolphins. It disgusts me to see Ricky Williams play still.

I'm a biased Colts fan, but cmon. Saints and Vikings have great ground games.

1. Peyton Manning
2. Vince Young / Chris Johnson
3. Tom Brady
