I'd root for Philip Rivers leading the Browns before I'd root for Rex Ryan

Who are the MVP candidates thus far this season?

Brady, Newton and Palmer have to be in the discussion, but anyone else?

Brady



Newton

Dalton, right now would get many many many top 5 votes. He has been good but his weapons and oline are huge huge factors.

Dalton is doing what he should have been doing the last 4 years. Not getting in the way of the rest of his team.

Am I ridiculous and stupid to think him getting booed mercilessly by a packed stadium in his town during a CELEBRITY SOFTBALL game during the MLB all-star break put a big chip on his shoulder for this season and that's a factor to why he's more focused and better?

I feel the same about Brady and deflate gate.

He should have seen the writing on the wall long before that.

I think it has more to do with everyone being healthy and the line protecting Andy.

Agree completely....but it was such a memorable moment. I felt horrible for him. I think a little bit of that is in the back of his head.

I've been wrong before though...

It's kind of funny how people are slowly starting to discredit Dalton, still, and are saying he's just not messing up and letting the team around him perform.

Yet when the team around him was decimated (last year), he got all the blame.

When this season is over, Dalton will hold numerous records for accomplishments for a QB in his first 5 seasons. Somehow, he will still be labeled as a shitty player. It's weird.

Obviously shitty is an exaggeration. A way of saying, he gets little credit.

If he goes 5,000 yards, 40 TD and 5 int and loses first playoff game with a sub par performance....shitty may happen

You could argue winning one may not be sufficient. They might get a bye so it's a moot point, but winning one game then getting stomped in the second round is underachieving, IMO.

4 yrs of being mediocre to shitty, and now 8 game stretch of great play. I don't blame ppl for not over reacting and jumping on the bandwagon immediately. He's played well this season, but not ready to annoit him best QB in first 5 yrs after 4 yrs of subpar play.

As for his records, that's just the time of the NFL. It's like comparing salaries, of course any big name FA is going to be paid more than the best player of the 1980s, doesn't mean they're better players.

Thing is though...he came in as a 2nd rounder...started day 1, has led playoff teams every year. I just think expectations jumped very fast for him BECAUSE they got to the playoffs so quickly. A QB who slowly got built up and took 3-4 years to even make the playoffs wouldn't get the same criticism.

He's actually been mediocre to good his entire career, at least 80% of it. It's just the bad 20% usually came in the playoff games or the spotlight games where he got some attention. He's got a near 88 overall QBR for his career.

...and yes, he can win league MVP this year but if he chokes in his first playoff game, the arguments will remain.

He's got more wins in his first 5 years as any QB...ever. He's got more road wins in his first 5 years...ever. That's a pretty big sample size of QB's over a long period of time. It's not like he achieved those stats by just being in the league.

Agreed. In the absurd Tom Brady-Peyton Manning debate the Brady supporters point to the times the Colts lost in the second round after getting a bye and say that's a bad result. I don't think that would be any different if it happened with the Bengals.
