Not a real big surprise but always cool to have the league MVP on your beloved team. Aaron Rodgers was officially announced as the NFL Most Valuable Player, getting 48 out of 50 votes. He did not win offensive player of the year - that trophy will go Drew Bress' way.
And let me just say this: it won't be his last. We should all be thankful for having this guy locked in behind center at Lambeau for the 2010s.

I don't think we'll be that lucky
Good to see Rodgers win, in a landslide too.

I love how skip worships Tebow and Rodgers hasn’t done enough to prove himself haha

You know whats sad
Not one single mention or congratulations for any of the players receiving an AP award on his twitter. But you know that if Brady won MVP or if Tebow won something, that he would have posted at least a few tweets. Unbiased analyst yeah right.
Wonder when the Giant Trolls will show up
Wanting us to hand it over to Eli.
or the saints/patriots fans...
for that matter (maybe, I’m fairly new here but on ESPN those guys are furious atm). Oh well, my tear bucket has gotten a little low as of late anyway…

but goddamn are the commenters entertaining on ESPN, there’s so much stupidity it is unreal.

Haha I know.
It actually frustrates me how bad they are, like with all the money they have they can’t find any better analysts and commentators?
On Wisconsin!
yeah I don't get it either...
they’re got herbstreit at least for the college level…the people who are members on there though as just about as stupid if not more so, which explains a lot…

Well...
You make fun of them, you talk about how stupid they are, but you still watch the shows and read their Twitter accounts, which is the whole purpose of people like Bayless and Cowherd. They’re there solely to create controversy. You think E$PN gives a damn about their quality of analysts?

agreed with that arod
skip is a travesty of a sports journalist, he just tries to create the biggest shitfest ever and gets the biggest love and hate boners for people (you should be able to figure out WHO he gets these for…)

Yeah, you are right, and they serve their purpose in that way.
I wish they weren’t considered a quality source of news when half the people on the street could do a better job, but what can you do? :)
On Wisconsin!
Trade Rogers for 5 1st rounders!
I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!
That why I stick to Jim Rome and Dan Patrick
The non-ESPN guys.
Hell, Dan Patrick hates ESPN.
by king.nothing on Feb 4, 2012 10:30 PM CST up reply actions
Rome, really?
1. He is an ESPN guy. (Every hear of Rome is burning?)
2. He spends his whole radio show letting listeners insult each other rather than talking about sports.
3. I don’t agree with most of his takes.
4. His only contribution to the sports world is this.
"I'm here to talk about the economy today -- about the need to get four quarters of strong, consistent performance. That wasn't another Jay Cutler joke, I swear. It could be, but it's not."
Favre thing mildly amusing in a pathetic way...
But your right… Absolutely shoulda been the Everett incident! Way better! That was a classic moment!
Our Biggest Challenge is how we deal w/ Success!
Never heard that one.
I don’t listen to Rome very often
"I'm here to talk about the economy today -- about the need to get four quarters of strong, consistent performance. That wasn't another Jay Cutler joke, I swear. It could be, but it's not."
Totally! One of my favorite sports talk show moments EVER.

football does not build character, it reveals character.
I expect the win
I didn’t expect the landside.
Does the fact that Brees ran up scores to break the record hurt him for the MVP voting?
I thought Rodgers would win convincingly
But I thought it would be more to the order of 40-10 instead of 48-2. I thought Brees would pull away a few more votes with the records at the end of the year.
Happy Virginian, Sconnie for life.
Not surprised in the least.
It was a landslide… Only way that Brees had some better numbers is by virtue of alot more attempts. Slightly higher completion %, but he plays in a dome and didn’t have a cold weather game all year! Rodgers was better by every meaningful stat that measure efficiency in any way. I’m actually surprised anyone thought it would be close…

by packermussupreme on Feb 4, 2012 10:30 PM CST up reply actions
I contest, if Rodgers stayed in every play like Brees
he would be holding the records for most yardage, defnitely most TDs, and all that jazz. I also think they would have played better vs the giants and possibly we could be watching a repeat effort. but not all is to waste for this year.
stafford getting the comeback player is a joke. he never set any sort of bar. this was essentially his 3rd rookie season. give it to someone who deserves it more.
I'm perfectly fine with giving him comeback player of the year...
13.
"Skip, once again, stop it; Be an analyst; don't be a douchebag."
I raged about this at the time
And to have Alex Smith in the conversation was as big of a joke. Sproles wuz robbed.
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
Sproles?
What did he come back from? He was a valuable player last year.
13.
"Skip, once again, stop it; Be an analyst; don't be a douchebag."
I was thinking the same thing.
The only thing that changed for Sproles was his inclusion in an offense. I’m fine with Stafford winning. He’s on his “3rd rookie season” because of major injuries in back-to-back years. That he recovered and played beyond-effectively is the definition of a Comeback. I know we’ve lost the meaning of the word thanks to Favre’s “comebacks” from a 3 month retirement called the offseason, but Stafford was as deserving of the award as anyone this year.
Baseball, you can't get here soon enough.
Thinking mainly of his return game
Which was back to his rookie-year levels. I’d classify Stafford’s and Smith’s seasons as “break-out” rather than “comeback”.
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
He was a damn good returner in SD last year
There wasn’t much difference in his play last year to this year.
13.
"Skip, once again, stop it; Be an analyst; don't be a douchebag."
Breakout vs Comeback
Breakout would refer to a player who played but not very well and stepped his game up in a big way. A la Alex Smith…
Comeback player refers to a player coming back from a major injury to put up very good numbers or lead his team in some way after returning from injury. Stafford is a perfect example of a comeback player. He had his 2 previous seasons wiped out by shoulder injuries that could have potentially ended his career, to put up great number AND lead his team!
Our Biggest Challenge is how we deal w/ Success!
The term "comeback" conjures up an imaginary line that someone must, y'know, come back to meet or exceed
Stafford never had set that line, having been derailed by injuries.
And since this is showing signs of devolving into an argument about semantics, I’ll leave it at that.
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
He was the 1st overall pick in the draft.
So he had alot to live up too, and then alot to overcome w/ the shoulder injuries that threatened his career. Epitome of comeback…

Vikings got hosed on DPOY
Suggs wins, thought it’d be Allen for sure. Or even DeMarcus Ware.
Suggs won? Wow…that is a real shocker. Viking fans have a right to be upset (and Cowboy fans). If Ware or Allen won I would have been right on board.
The Green Bay Packers...Putting bad coaches out of their misery since 2010
I'd say that Suggs is more versatile than either, especially Allen.
Too much emphasis is often placed on stats in this sport, right Sean Payton?
I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!

Rodgers was the most efficient passer by a long shot this year. Give me that over the guy who happened to heave it up 155 more times and selfishly played deeper into games to pad his numbers

LOL@Saint fans.
Imagine if Rodgers had the best freakin’ O-line in the NFL, or Darren Sproules to bail him out when no ones open, or Jimmy Graham, or receivers that actually held onto the ball… The award wouldn’t even be close. Just because a couple of pathetic Saints homers think that Brees should’ve won [and to be fair, in any other year he would have], does not mean he should have. 48-2? That should just shut any Saints fan’s mouth on the spot. Case closed.

it was never going to be a close vote, deservedly so.
shoulda have been uninanimous.
football does not build character, it reveals character.
SYSTEM QUATERBACK
MVP WAS RIGGED, I CUT MYSELF, I BLEED ALOT, ETC. ETC.
Aaron Rodgers, MVP.
The day LeBron James wins an NBA championship will be the day I stop watching NBA basketball. Needless to say, it looks like I'll be watching for quite a few more years.

gdi
my friend is trying to argue he shouldn’t have won because of flynn…really? That’s pretty flimsy, especially with brees losing his only advantage in stats because of his 150-ish more passes, a far better oline, very good receiving core, effective running backs (not to mention sproles), and a great TE. By comparison, I’d argue Brees had more help around him than Rodgers did, even with a good backup.

Flynn also put up those numbers against maybe the worst secondary in the NFL

unfortunately he thinks he does...
which is stupid but eh, he’s a vikings fan which is only one step above a bears fan sooooo.

To all the Saints fans upset by this decision ...
Aaron Rodgers will gladly answer all of your questions after he wins the Super Bowl MVP in New Orleans next year.
Proud fan of the 2010 Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks and the 2010 Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers.
