Happy for Kuechly. Bobby Wagner was also deserving. Cannot argue with the Offensive ROY. Any of those 3 young QB's were deserving. I would have liked to see Wilson get it, but happy for RG3. Watt and Arians were pretty much locks for the awards they received.

[Jake0890]

Wonder why they didn't split the COTY and give it to both Arians and Pagano.

[Mamba Mentality]

Really happy for Luke Kuechly, he was one of the few bright spots on the team this season. I just hope for once we can field a healthy lineback core next season.

I still think Manning and Peterson should have won co-MVP, this was as good of a year as any for them to split it.

[BIGGIEsmalls 23]

Damn. The Bears had a chance to hire the reigning COY.

[Da Schwab]

Congrats to Purple Jesus on his haul.

But, I really wanna hand it to the writers for this year's HOF class. FINALLY, Cris Carter gets inducted. So happy for that man. I used to hang out with his son and had met him a few times. Nothing but a humble guy and a funny one, too.

It's also great to see Ogden and Allen get in together. A good tip of the hat to the guys in the trenches who don't get the media coverage that the big ball carriers and defensive guys do. Warren Sapp was one of the most entertaining players of his era, good to see him get in. And, I can't wait for Tuna's induction speech, there will definitely be some good sound bites.

Who came in second to Manning for that award?

[Carmelofan]

I wonder if manning's early playoff ouster has anything to do with peterson winning it outright.

[studcrackers]

no, these are regular season awards

[Little Italia]

Still shocked Strahan didn't make it into the HOF, i guess it makes sense he makes it in next year at MetLife.

Congrats to AP, well deserved.

I would have given MVP to Rodgers, Manning, Brady or Watt before Peterson.

I would have given MVP to Rodgers, Manning, Brady or Watt before Peterson.

I don't see how you can say that. AP ran for 2000 yards and carried his team on his back without having a QB that could draw the defenses attention. Teams knew that the Vikings were going to run, but AP was so good that they simply couldn't stop him. Brady, Manning, Rodgers, and Watt all had great defenses or other players that allowed their teams to win. The Vikings would have been the worst team in the NFL without AP this season...

[Higga]

Manning was great but Peterson put the team on his back and was within striking distance of an NFL record. Definitely the MVP.

Happy RG3 won ROY. I think people forgot just how amazing he was before he got hurt.

What JJ Watt did was 10x more historic than anything Peterson did this year. It was probably the greatest defensive season ever. He lead his team to a better record and I don't think that defense is that talented without him.

Rodgers played most of the season without his best two receivers, running backs, and offensive linemen, and was a botched interception/td call away from a first round bye. His team surrounding him was horrible and he makes far more of an impact than Peterson does on a game. The Brocons couldn't pass the ball at all last season and suddenly became an offensive power house. The Pats had one of the best seasons ever. Yes Peterson carried his team, but so did the QBs and the QBs all make more of an impact on the game. Theres a reason why their offenses scored way more points than the Vikings did.

Seriously- who here would take Peterson before Rodgers, Manning or Brady to win a game? Nobody - thats what I thought. People are hyping Peterson like he just had the best RB season ever, when only a few years ago LT had 20 more TDs and more all purpose yards.
