NFL Awards Rundown+Open Thread

by Benne on Feb 4, 2012 5:06 PM PST in Seahawks News & Rumors

Most Valuable Player: Aaron Rodgers

Offense Player of the Year: Drew Brees

Defensive Player of the Year: Terrell Suggs

Offensive ROY: Cam Newton

Defensive ROY: Von Miller

Coach of the Year: Jim Harbaugh

Comeback Player of the Year: Matt Stafford

Safe, predictable choices all around. The MVP hasn't been announced yet. There's that whole "NFL Honors" show that's playing on NBC at 6, but as you can see, most of the winners have already leaked, so you probably won't waste your time. Then again, we only have about 24 hours of an NFL season left, so I'll take what I can get.

Stafford as comeback player? Coming back from what? Injury?

Because he was pretty bad in his early career before he went on IR.

That shit should go to Steve Smith.

Shoulder Injury vs. Poor Performance

I think coming back from an A/C repair and clavicle shaving is more deserving of comeback player than playing on a poor offense for 1 year.

Smith is also older, on the downside of his athletic peak

And became a top WR again after being irrelevant for three consecutive seasons.

Rodgers gets MVP

48-2 vote over Brees.

Cool

Also Allen should’ve gotten DPOTY just like ’Tez did in 1992.

Sounds about right.

Eternally looking forward to someone making a Seahawks song based off of Lil' Jon's "Shots" song named "Hawks!"

I think "Comeback Player of the Year" is beyond silly.

I don’t know why they think that’s worth giving out. No real issues with any of these winners.

Any award Chad Pennington can win twice is silly.

Terrell Suggs pick annoys me

Not so much because he didn’t have a great year, but because it is so inconsistent with last year’s results. If you are going to give the DPOY award to the forced fumble leader, why didn’t you do it last year when Osi Umenyiora destroyed everyone else on top of having great sack totals. If Polomalu last year, why not Eric Weedle this year? Or why not Jared Allen who had his best season in a Hall of Fame career? Suggs had a good year, but what makes it stand out from some of those players and how can you square that with last year’s voting?

I'm too important to this team. Big Stein can't be flopping and twitching.
