Good call with Dez Bryant. Totally forgot about him. He is a beast. The only reason he doesn't have great numbers is because he has been playing on a totally inept team so far IMO. He would get my vote right now over Mike Williams (TB)

MVP: Rivers especially if he passes the passing yardage record.
OPOY: Vick
DPOY: Clay Mathews
OROY: Sam Bradford
DROY: Ndamakong Suh

There's no real criteria you need to meet to qualify. It can be coming back from injury, coming back from sucking, coming back from anything.

That's because you guys have a top 5 pick in the draft every year.

Looking at this, its really not far fetched that Vick could be leading MVP with SD being 4-5 and at Philly at 6-3...

Those "stans" dont look so crazy after all...

Brandon Lloyd, 48 catches, 968 yards, 6 TDs. Comeback player of the year candidate. He's doing what I expected Gaffney to do

Both Orton and Rivers should have pretty big 2nd half stats because of their team records. They've had to come from behind and/or played in close games they lost.

Don't see how Vick can be comeback player of the year. Not only did he play last year but he also didn't really suck last year. He just happened to be a back up. I'd also say that as of today, both Vick and Rivers are probably competing for OPOY more than MVP while Manning and Brady are competing for MVP. Personally I'd say Brady is at the top of the MVP list right now with Rivers at the top of the OPOY list. Assuming everyone stays on current pace statistically, final records will probably determine who ends up where with these two spots.
