How to choose? I eliminated the rookies, as as good as they were, none if not rookies would be MVP candidates when compared to these guys. I really should not have listed Watt, but the number of sacks/ batted passes is impressive. Rodgers had the best statistical year amongst the QB's, with 39 freaking TDs to just 8 INTs. How many extra points will Manning earn for 'intangibles'? Brady was Brady again. But I'll vote for Peterson. The Vikings were supposed to be a cellar dweller, and he was 400 yards better than the second running back in the league.

Manning is outstanding and makes everyone around him better. Peterson is individually dominating. 8 yards from the record with an unused timeout. I'd have loved to see one more play. Still, I'd vote for Manning.

Both of them should also be in the running for comeback player of the year to. In fact, who ever doesn't get MVP should get the other award. I went with Manning, as he elevates his whole team. AP doesn't do this, which is hardly his fault, but the change in the Broncos is radical, while the Vikes haven't changed much with Purple Jesus back, except for a rushing attack that takes some pressure of the passing game, which is how the Vikes have been playing for the last few seasons anyways.
