BN: Peyton Manning gets MVP

W00t w00t! The future Hall of Famer bagged his third MVP(tied with only Brett Favre for most, though his were consecutive) today. Peyton received 32 of the 50 votes finishing above Pennington and Turner. Next up: another Super Bowl ring.

Harrison deserved it more for the season he had but Peyton is a nice guy so I don't mind it going to himJaysonguy

When you said Harrison, I first thought you meant Marvin Harrison and thought you've gone completely off the deep end...then I thought about it for a little while and realized you meant the linebacker from the Steelers. Oops.

And wait, Chad Pennington came in second? :| Sure he had a nice year...but second in MVP voting? Seriously?

i really don't think peyton should've gotten the mvp, i think chad pennington should've won it. to me going from 1-15 to 11-5 is more impressive than going from i think 4-4 to 12-4

Perhaps they only count awards that came after the AFL-NFL merger?

I really thought this year we were finally not going to see a QB win the award.

"O look guys, Manning threw touchdowns this year! Yea! MVP!"

Such a shallow award.

Peyton Manning is good. He will probably become one of the greatest QBs in history. He deserves it, well done.monkeytoes61

Football is a sport where it's extremely hard for someone other than QB to win the MVP and justifiably so. QB is by far the most important position in the NFL. A great QB can impact a team much more than a great player in other positions. A non-QB player would have to play beyond superman caliber football to have the impact of a great QB. MVP is always a QB b/c the most valuable athlete in football is actually always a QB.

As a Steeler fan I would have loved to see James Harrison win it, but hey congrats to Peyton, he's still one of the best players in the league.ganon546
