Your MVP Rankings so far

[bwgood77]

Top 5...update as needed from week to week.

[bleu]

Just a few who come to mind for me, in no particular order:

David Johnson
Von Miller
Julio Jones
Tom Brady
Derek Carr

[Otis Driftwood]

Dak... Prescott...

[bluejerseyjinx]

1) Seattle, Denver and Minnesota's defense. Without their great defenses, each team would be toast or in much tougher situations with their injury's and offensive woes.
2) Andy Dalton and Derick Carr. For holding their teams together with lousy defenses and missing pieces and injuries.

3) David Johnson. Cardinals would currently be toast if it wasn't for him the first 6 weeks. He's been dominate with a team that has a lot of mouth's to feed.

4) Spencer Ware. Keeping the Chief's right in the thick of the AFC and the extremely tough AFC West with major weapons missing on defense during this extremely tough schedule and the expectations of being the main cheese in a run dominated offense with Charles breathing down your neck.

5) Prescott, Elliot and the Cowboy O-line. No this isn't a homer pick. Its obvious the Cowboys have one nasty mother....ing O-line, but who the hell would have predicted what Prescott especially has done with this team. I sure as hell didn't expect it, but enjoying every second.

[bwgood77]

I think right now, I'd have to go

1. Matt Ryan

2. Matthew Stafford
3. Ezekiel Elliott
4. David Johnson
5. If the Chargers D, and fumbles by Benjamin and Gordon didn't cause them to absolutely blow 2 games, allowing them to be 5-2 instead of 3-4, I'd say Rivers as well..but can't put a guy in there on a team with a losing record.

You could almost throw Lorenzo Alexander, undrafted OLB making $885K this year, already with 9 sacks and leading the Bills defense in impressive fashion.

Spencer Ware is a nice mention. He's kind of shocked me. Andy Dalton, not so much.

Yes, the real MVP for the Cowboys is the OL, but having a runner like Elliott also makes Dak's job that much easier.

My only counter to Zeke making Dak's job easier is this...

McFadden was the 4th leading rusher in the league last season. He only started 8 games. So theoretically, that (quality RB + OL) should have made Brandon Weeden, Matt Cassel and Kellen Moore better. It didn't. And I KNOW there wasn't anyone trying to make a case the Cowboys would be 6-1 without Romo after Week 3 of the preseason.

Zeke - ROY
Dak - MVP


That's the only case I can make. Best part - there's still 9 weeks to let the season breathe.

Dak's certainly been impressive but his QB #s are not nearly where the other top qbs are. Sure Dallas has more wins but I think it's a combined effort.

Coach of the year- Belichick

I like the Stafford pick. I thought about him and almost put him in. I also think P. Rivers and D. Murray deserve mention as well.

[Latrell]

Call me a homer but it's Andrew Luck.

I know the Colts are bad but they'd be worse than Cleveland without Luck.

Can't even begin to argue with that...

[GoRapstheoriginal]

I'm flattered that Derek Carr is getting mentioned, season is still early & I am still terrified it will go south! Lolz!
As for a list, most of the ones have already been mentioned.

[bwgood77]

Any updates to your lists after last week?

[bluejerseyjinx]

The real MVP of the Dallas Cowboys; Stephen Jones.

[therealbig3]

1. Matt Ryan


2-5. Everyone else

He's putting up historic numbers, on a playoff-caliber team. The only QB putting up better numbers is Tom Brady, and he's played 4 less games.

As much as I would love to put a Cowboy up there, you're right and it isn't close.

[therealbig3]

The Colts without Luck were 6-3 last year, and were 2-5 with him...not totally buying the narrative of Luck being awesome despite a bunch of crap around him...I think he's just not as good as advertised.

[RLPH]

1. Dallas O-Line
2. Matt Ryan
3. Tom Brady
4. Von Miller
5. Derek Carr

Honorable mention Philip Rivers

5. Tom Brady

As long as he remains healthy and playing like he currently is, there really shouldn't be any question that he is the MVP this year IMO. Defying all odds, he has been flat out fantastic this season. IDK if he actually gets it since Goodell hates him and he missed the first four games of the season, but he should.
