I hate ties... There needs to be a winner, IMO

Why? Ties aren't normally much fun in football, but with an award that's entirely a matter of opinion, a  tie honors both men fairly. Otherwise one gets elevated and ones gets dismissed, suggesting there was a chasm between them.  - which is kind of ridiculous considering how deserving they both are.

I have heard that theory, but it makes no sense to me.  Assuming the MVP will either be Manning or AP, how could the one that wins MVP not be the CBPOTY.

Because the voters want to honor both players, so would tend to give out the CBPOTY as the consolation prize.

Oh, I understand why they are doing it.  I just do not believe it makes any sense to do it, at least for this year.  The MVP should also be the CBOTY.

Actually they don't have to be related at all. I don't think it's an award for the "best performing" player amongst those who made a comeback, it's also the nature of the comeback that has to be considered. They're is nothing remotely comparable between what Peyton went through and what AP went through. A dramatically more serious injury at a dramatically older age, and losing his job in the middle of it. Plus missing the entire season versus part of it. I didn't hear anybody write off Peterson when he was injured - people come back from knees all the time.

Is anyone going to still watch even though all the winners have been announced?

Maybe I'll try to catch the comeback award if I time it right. Frankly I thought that this would tedious to sit through live. Knowing the results ahead of time makes it largely pointless as well.

I'm not surprised. To me, Adrian Peterson was the far and away winner for MVP.

"Far and away"? Now I understand why you didn't want it tied. I didn't think that Peterson was "far and away" better at anything - other than perhaps making obnoxious/arrogant predictions. However I didn't think that Peyton was the only contestant either. Frankly I think that the "comeback" component should have been excluded from consideration, and that more than two players should have been in the conversation.

What predictions?

Predicting himself the winner repeatedly, talking himself up for the MVP and Comeback awards.

 

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with him winning it, nor do I have any opinion on him as a person one way or another. He's normally FAR from my radar. I was just making a snide comment about his recent big mouth. It's desirable to at least pretend to be humble in public, and I tend to prefer athletes who are.

He was asked who he thought was going to win MVP. Would you prefer him lie?

All the award winners were very deserving. That's why I'm happy.

 

Happy to see Manning recognized for his great season, and the same for AP. Also, players like Luke Kuechly, Casey Hayward, Bobby Wagner, even Russell Wilson, are getting some household recognition, and I'm happy about that too.

    • I'm going to respectfully disagree here. I think, regardless of what the fans might think, their lack of FAs and re-signing all our own means the Colts believe this team is truly capable of making waves in 2024, being only 1 play away from a playoff birth/division title.    I think they believe that they are a couple pieces away but clearly need a top skill position wideout to pair with Pittman and Downs. Every pick after that is fillers, depth, and/or less important needs in their minds.    You could wind up being correct but I'm sticking with my trade up scenario where the only way I'm wrong is that we find out later, the Colts could not find a trade partner or that the trade partners really wanted to much in compensation.   I'm sticking with Colts trade to with Chargers and take Nabers at pick 5.        
    • Latest update not encouraging? Where's that at? Wasn't in that article.     Everything I have seen, has shown some athleticism has already started to come back.     I posted a couple rehab videos somewhere a month ago or so.   He is already dunking and looked very quick on take off and on his straight line running.   Can't remember if there was a change of direction in the the video but I think there was that as well.     Saying that, I think we still bring in a CB, but everything I have seen has been encouraging in regards to rehab.
    • Steelers picking at No.20 probably want him to get past Bengals and Jaguars so that they can draft Adonai Mitchell, so could be an article blessed by the organization too  
    • I think we stay at 15, hope Bowers is there but dont think he will be. With latest update not encouraging that Flowers will be ready seems like Corner more likely to be taken over WR.  First round corner paired with Brents with Jones first corner off the bench should yield better results then last season.   ttps://www.aol.com/cb-dallis-flowers-rehabbing-achilles-084056300.htm    
    • I think the draft falls this way:   1) Bears: Caleb 2) Commanders: Daniels 3) Vikings (trade with Pats) Maye 4) Cardinals: MHJ 5) Colts (trade with Chargers) Nabers   Reason for my top 5 is that I think the Patriots really like McCarthy, coupled with the Brady/McCarthy Michigan thing plus the Pats need more player help, it makes sense for the Pats to trade back to 11 but still be in front of the Raiders and Broncos to get their QB   Colts trade up reason: I think the Chargers need O-line help as well as other players like WR, however I believe the Chargers can still get a top LT at 15 and WR late in round one or if they trade back into round one which I believe they will attempt to do in this scenario. Plus, the Harbough Indy connection makes this trade likely.   Even if the Commanders take Maye at 2, I still think the Vikings trade up and then grab Daniels. Pats take McCarthy.   I think this is the year the Colts finally will mortgage a little bit of the future for the wideout. I'm going to stick with this. I hope my gut is correct here, we'll see.
