  1. Without a doubt, Adrian Peterson and Peyton Manning have both had seasons deserving of MVP and comeback player of the year honors. I don't see anything wrong with honoring them both with co-MVP and co-comeback player of the year honors. They are both deserving and we would be splitting hairs trying to determine which player was more valuable to their team, or which player had a more awesome comeback year. Had Adrian broken ED's rushing record I might have been swayed in his favor for MVP but in a similar fashion Peyton missed the entire year last year whereas AP only missed a few games. Like I said, splitting hairs, both are deserving and way ahead of any of the also rans. Honor them both with equal kudos.

  2. I am not sure if the Bert Jones / Andrew Luck comparison is legitimate as these are two similar style players in two completely different football eras. The one memory I have about Bert Jones goes back to Dec 18, 1977 when the Colts were fighting for a playoff spot. It was a cold a rainy Sunday, and although I was very happy :-) on the bus ride home to NJ, I also remember consuming way to much mass quantities of Blackberry Brandy. ;-)

    You can google "1977 Colts vs Patriots week 14" for highlights of the game.
