Through 8 games who is your MVP???? (1 Viewer)

[mafiapetey]

Who is the most valuable person (player/coach) through the first 8 games this season???

 

[Father Markus]

Drew Brees... as Jim said in his commentary, Drew's making this a "team of players" with his game style. Everyone gets to contribute, it's not just one or two players...

Brees, no doubt how much he upgrades that position on this team, on the feild and off

Drew Brees is MVP.

If we're talking about the annual MVP award here are my top three candidates in order:

1. Peyton Manning
2. Drew Brees
3. LaDanian Tomlinson

These top three are far and above any other possible candidate. There are two "darkhorse" candidates who have an outside chance as long as their teams win consistently:

4. Larry Johnson
5. Marc Bulger

No one else even belongs in the discussion, IMO.

Saints or the league?

Saints: Drew Brees
NFL: Peyton Manning

Coach of the year: Sean Payton

OROY: Marques Colston
DROY: Mark Anderson

 

[shrike3000]

Drew Brees is MVP.
Coach Payton is Coach of the Half Year.
Marques Colston is Offensive Rookie of the Half Year
Loomis is Executive of the Half Year

Sorry I spelled Payton wrong.

Clarify in the title that this is a Saints-only poll...Then make another Poll for the entire NFL because that's whole different discussion. The five candidates I listed should definitely be in the mix.

Clarify in the title that this is a Saints-only poll...

the choices in the poll make that obvious..that being said, drew is the main reason we are 6-2 right now

 

[David Robbins]

No doubt it is Drew Brees.

 

[peytonknows]

Drew Brees for sure so far.

 

[mvtrucking]

Drew Brees is making a case for MVP of the entire league. If he continues this level of play he may just pull it off.

It would be easy to say Drew Brees, and rightfully so. But with the way the defense has completely turned it around, especially up the middle (FS, CBs, DEs are the exact same from last year but NT, LBs, and SS are not) along with excellent gameplans outside of the start of the Ravens game, I have to give it to Sean Payton and the coaching staff. Brees can only do so much.

Don't forget that the Browns, Packers, Bucs (first game) and even the Eagles (before the 8:26 drive they had a chance) all had chances to go down the field and win the game or at least tie it up, and the defense stepped up in all of those games and just shut them down to seal the victory. I wonder how many people realize that halfway through the season, the defense is ranked 10th overall (less than 1 ypg outside of 9th)

Seems it all starts with coaching, and schemes to utilize the talent of individual players.
