I think Manning is always in that conversation along with Rodgers.
I think Brady,Ryan, and both mannings are the clear front runners so far. Don't see Rodgers as MVP material so far this season.

Whooptie shit Manning beat the Saints D. They're awful, and he's Peyton Manning.
The bigger story is Denver's D shutting down Brees.

what honey moon? he is a good game manager and most of his success is because of harbaugh. i said that before, i said that when he was the #1 rated QB in the league, and i'll say that if we win the superbowl. he has poor pocket presence, doesn't throw receivers open and won't throw the ball to someone unless they are wide open (which rarely happens in the NFL unless the scheme tricks the D).
i dont really care who our QB is. as long as we are winning games with alex then i dont have too much of a problem. yeah we'd be more dangerous with peypey or any number of other qb's (including kap) but we'll just see if alex has what it takes when we need him. unfortunate that we don't get to play defenses like the saints in every playoff game

Rodgers #s are nearly identical to 2011 this game not included.

Denver is 4-3, and 2-1 in the div. Really, I can't see them not having the advantage in the division. Bar a possible loss to the Raiders at home, I really don't see them losing another game in the AFC West. Bengals, Ravens and Browns are the only teams I'd be worried about if I were them.

not that i disagree that manning has been awesome but they are 4-3 and in first place in the 2nd worst division in football.
p.s.
yes i wish manning was a niner
That's why I pointed to having at least 11 wins and good stats at the end of the season to give him a good shot at it. They're 4-3 now, but they could easily be 11-5 or even 13-3 to end the season. Look at their schedule, I think they'll be the favorites in all of their remaining games. And Manning has a history of leading his team to long win streaks, he did it almost every year with the Colts, even in that one season when they started 3-4 and ended the season 12-4.
A good record and good stats will put him in the discussion. But you can't deny that the Peyton Manning factor will also play a part of it. Voters may not be able to turn away from this feel good story. But again, he has to perform as well and I think he will continue playing at this level the rest of the season. As far as stats are concerned, once it gets updated. I think Peyton is 1-3 in every major category. Not bad for a old man coming off neck surgery and playing on a new team.
Who knew alex smith was a top 10 QB?
Sorted by passer rating. Depends on how you sort it. Regardless Rodgers is still at the very top in just about every category.

he was #1 in the league 2 weeks ago
then he hurt his finger on his last throw against the bills.... yeah, thats it, he hurt his finger and that explains his awful performance against the giants and mediocre performance against the seachickens!

Yeah you have to dig deeper and you can see yards/game, touchdown to INT ratio, touchdowns, etc. etc.
Rodgers is having a monster season but so are others. I don't see a clear cut winner at this point.

Giants are WS champions again.
(Because the Cardinals aren't WS champions), feels good man.
On that table, my QB is behind Kolb, Rivers, Romo, Flacco, and Bradford. Feels bad man.

Once it gets updated, I think Peyton is now the new #1 in passer rating. Again, he's basically 1-3 in every major category and still avoids getting sacked often. So it should be a close race this year for MVP.
Why are you upset that your QB is behind an elite one?

26 sacks on Rodgers already? Got damn

I'm going to say that 12 of those were on him and that's probably too generous of me.
The most amazing stat of it all is Eli only having 5 sacks going into game 8 of the season.
Yeah, he's definitely playing at that level. Hopefully he maintains it.

Patriots under the radar
Lol
his numbers are weird. low completion percentage but most of his yards come on long passes. low YAC for his WRs. high average depth of target. very high rate of passes off PA
offense based on solid running game and shot plays off PA
No matter who loses he wins.

At this point, a Manning Bros. Superbowl is a remote possibility.
Fun fact. It would be the third Superbowl appearance for both Mannings.

An all Manning bowl would suck.

Giants win SuperBowl and World Series, is there anything Eli can't do?

You must be really happy since you are finally going to get your wish.
I don't want this to happen. Goober is just too damn good in the Superbowl. He would certainly win.

I'd have to root for superior Bionic Manning in the Super Bowl. That and the Giants have been in my good graces until that hypothetical point because they won righteous victories over the evil Patriots.
But a Manning would lose. Is that not enough to satisfy you?
Said it earlier today, but the Browns are better than their record indicates. You guys have a shitton of picks next year, and if used properly with a decent FA acquisition of two and Browns could become a young playoff team by next year.
Chargers problem is they have no receivers since Vincent Jackson left.

Third Superbowl for both Mannings.
First time ever two brothers dueled against each other in a Superbowl.
First time a QB left one team and took his new team to a Superbowl in the first year.
Superbowl is being held in New Orleans.
Archie Manning played for New Orleans.
Peyton and Eli were born in New Orleans.
It is destiny.
Or as many people on Twitter put it, Romo clinches the game for the Giants twice today /obviousjoke
And they have yet to play Detroit. Suh and the boys are gonna have a field day on Rodgers.
Teach them how to tackle?

That's actually kind of scary when you point out all those facts.
Sorry cajun but you are what you are. It's a talent problem. You get no pass rush, your LBs are slow, and your DBs can't cover long enough to wait for blitzes to get home.
sucks to suck. 2/3 of that defense will be unemployed next year
