Comeback player of the year - Nick Foles.

 

He was pretty bad last year. 

 

OROY - Keenan Allen

 

DROY - Kiko Alonso

 

You don't like the choices they made? Eddie Lacy was the favorite to win OROTY all season, especially after Aaron Rodgers got hurt.

 

I don't know why they picked Philip Rivers, but can't think of anybody else who deserved it.

---

I agree with the COTY award. Ron Rivera went from nearly getting fired to earning a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

---

Glad to see #55 get in, as someone who grew up a Bucs fan and still watches them most Sundays, he was one of my favorite Bucs.

I forgot he wore #55.

 

Colts fans must be mad because Marvin Harrison was snubbed.

I don't like the fact that they call the award the Offensive Rookie of the Year award despite the fact that in the decades long history of the award, no Offensive Lineman has won the award.  In reality,  this award is nothing more than the Offensive Skill Player Rookie of the Year Award.

As far as I am concerned, they are all skill players. If you don't have skill, you can't play in the NFL. But how can you determine if the best offensive player is a lineman when they have no statistics?

Game tapes are a better indication of a player's performance than statistics.

I have no idea what this means or heard of the award before, but FWIW Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles was named Fantasy Player of the Year.

It likely means that Jamaal Charles had the greatest positive impact for Fantasy Football owners in the 2013 regular season.

How do they measure that?

How do they measure that?

 

Likely by the number of Fantasy Football points that a player received over the course of the entire season and/ or in the weeks that most Fantasy Football leagues have their playoffs.  This is the one award that stats truly should matter instead of game tape.

I watched the video of Peyton Manning being named the NFL MVP. Apparently someone told him he won it hours earlier so he could dress up in a suit and give his speech to a camera because he will play in the game. However, two Mannings were on stage: Archie and Peyton's son Marshall.

Colts fans must be mad because Marvin Harrison was snubbed.

 

Doubt it, especially with him being involved in a couple of shootings since retirement has put him in a bad light.

 

They should be more riled up about Dungy not getting in.

Whether someone has a liberal, or conservative viewpoint, a authoritative figure should not lock a thread for the sole purpose to get the last word in all the while prohibiting someone else from being able to respond.
