No flashy passing numbers.
No balanced offensive attack.
No AFC South title.
Does Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning deserve to be the NFL's most valuable player this season?
No question.
LA Times writer Sam Farmer thinks Peyton Manning will win the 2008 NFL MVP. The award is announced this Friday.

said the same thing on NFL Live today. I’m paraphrasing, but he basically said, “Peyton Manning is obviously the MVP. And any reasonable person realizes that he’s the best player in the NFL.”
Put this in the other thread too

I liked this quote about Peyton:
“They used to talk about how in the playoffs he’d mess things up. Well, this whole year has pretty much been the playoffs for them after that slow start,” said Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, whose unit allowed Manning to complete 26-of-32 passes for 277 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-3 loss to Indy in Week 14. “They’ve had to fight every game to have a chance and because they don’t have the running game they used to, it’s really been on him. He’s making more correct decisions now than he has in the past.”

And another quote I like:
MVP: Peyton Manning, QB, Indianapolis. This is a tough race because there are several deserving players. However, there is no more valuable player to any team than Manning is to the Colts. Without him, they would have never gotten out of their September slump. As surprising as it was to see the Patriots succeed without Brady, it would be ten times more unexpected to see the Colts succeed without Manning.
