Now that the season's done, we can do an "Awards" post

We got at least one more game!!

And although my bias may make me dis-agree with the first one
I believe the rest are right on

Except I could see Justin Smith, Ware, or Jared Allen be defensive player of the years.

The only MVP Quarterback who apparently can’t outperform his backup

MVP – Peyton Manning. Yeah, I said it. Guy isn’t on the team and it absolutely tanks. I don’t care that they won a few games, they went from a perennial playoff team and Super Bowl contender (however weak) to the #1 pick. There’s no other choice.

Offensive Player of the Year – Aaron Rodgers. While not deserving of the MVP in any way due to the Matt Flynn experiment, he used some very questionable talent (Jordy Nelson, James Starks, a patchwork offensive line) to produce the best year by a QB ever, while playing every home game outdoors. The guy is effective as possible with what is given to him, and would be putting up stats like this pretty much anywhere, in my opinion. Too bad he’s a jerkoff.

Defensive Player of the Year – Cliff Avril. As you may or may not know, I’m not a big Cliff Avril fan, but upon actually looking at the body of work of all defensive players this year, the only player who literally did it all was Cliff Avril. His only number that wasn’t phenomenal was his tackles (36 combined), but his playmaking ability is unrivaled.

Avril placed 11th in the league in sacks with 11. He is one of 15 defensive linemen in the NFL with an interception, and one of 3 who returned it for a touchdown. The only player who exceeded him in forced fumbles was Terrell Suggs with 7 to Avril’s 6, who also was 2nd in the league in recovered fumbles, an extremely important facet of forcing them. 5th among defensive linemen with 5 pass deflections, Avril is only rivaled by Suggs in effectiveness, and though his numbers weren’t incredibly eye popping, no player in the league affected his defense like Avril did.

Offensive Rookie of the Year – Cam Newton. A rookie of the year nomination means more than just stats, it’s your effect on the league and your team, in my opinion. Newton revitalized a club and proved his critics wrong in his rookie year. I could definitely see him as another of the top 5 QBs in the league soon with Matthew Stafford. The combination of his ability to run and throw is unlike any QB in the league, and looks to be far more sustainable in the vein of Randall Cunningham than Michael Vick (this coming from a VTech fan and Vick backer).

Defensive Rookie of the Year – Von Miller. His impact is unparalled among rookies, and looks to be Demarcus Ware 2.0. Lucky Broncos.

Comeback Player of the Year – Matthew Stafford. Very little needs to be said here. Stafford took every scrutiny about him and absolutely shat on them. The year he had was completely ridiculous, and we should be thrilled to have him in Detroit for what we hope will be his entire career. Hard to believe Joey Harrington was the last guy we were hoping would help us in that way.

Coach of the Year – Sean Payton. Coach of the year goes to the coach who’s system allowed their players to shine. I think everyone wants to give the award to Jim Harbaugh, but that team was very talented before Harbaugh got there – Singletary was an AWFUL coach. A coincidence of time and circumstance allowed Harbaugh (and Alex Smith) to shine, but the team that performed better than all others was New Orleans. San Francisco’s offense was a paltry 26TH in the league in total yardage. New Orleans had the record breaker from Brees and still had the 6th best rushing offense in the league.

Sean Payton fielded the best team in the NFL this year, bar none. And we get to beat them at home to start our run to the Super Bowl.

MVP – Matthew Stafford, No not being Bias. Show me a player with 5,000 yards, 41 TDs, 16 games played and a 97.2 QBR. I will show you Matthew Stafford with a horrid O line, No running game and a defense that was suspect at times. I will also sho you video of the comebacks Stafford led and taking a team to the playoffs for the first time in a decade. A player who rewrote franchise records and showed toughness playing with a broken finger. Rodgers an given, Brees a fantastic pick. Stafford is being overlooked. I think he deserves MVP votes this year. Knock me I don’t care I belive in my heart of hearts Stafford made a case for MVP.

Offensive Player of the year – Rob Gronkowski a tight end yup. One that pretty much owns every TE seasonal record after this year. My other option was Drew Brees.

Defensive Player of the year – torn here I am gonna go with Avril for all the reasons we have all stated. I’m also considering Jason Babin.

OROY – Andy Dalton – Sure Cam has the stats but his stats IMO aren’t so great that Andy Daltons wins don’t get overshadowed. Gotta go with the guy that led his team to the playoffs. ( Julio and AJ both considered)

DROY – Aldon Smith – I don’t care he’s not an everydown player at the end of the season he’s a bigger force that Von Miller.

Comeback player – Well Stafford is my lock here but I have him as my MVP. So I give comeback player of the year to Alex Smith. Say what you will he was a bust who is now QB of a playoff team.

Coach of the year – I split this award like the Co-Mvp. harbaugh and schwartz both get coach of the year…( they will reciver there respective awards at seperate times.

MVP- Brees. (Unfortunately for Rodgers, Flynn’s 6 TD game made me question Rodgers as MVP)

OPOY- Calvin muttha-fuggin’ Johnson!! (I think his total domination was enough to make up for the slow weeks he had)

DPOY- Suggs.

DROY- Von

OROY- Cam (Wanted to say AJ green here but then I realized that’s just a UGA bias, lol)

Comeback- Darren Sproles

Coach – John Fox (I mean c’mon. Tebow was actually WIINING. I don’t think this guy gets enough credit. He took what he had, took a huge gamble, and it worked out.)
