When drafting for the NFL, coaches seem to want someone who is a pocket passer. Why? Because they win, but everyone seems to get excited about the ones who can run. My question is, do they win championships? Why then does everyone get so high on these guys? Yes they can break they big play and can instantly get your team to the playoffs. But as Mike Vick has shown us they dont win Championships and are usually injury prone. We have even seen this with RGIII this season. Running Washington's offense has nearly gotten this young player killed. Yes I just compared RGIII to Vick. Both can be very exciting players, and maybe RGIII will be one of the greatest. Right now though, you cant help but notice to similarities between the two. Vick also started the same way, but is now injury prone from all the hits he takes. He has only had one full season in his career, and so far RGIII is following in his footsteps. RGIII, if you read this, please become a pocket passer-for your own sake.
Luck on the other hand is the pocket passer anyone would want, with the arm strength to match. On a team full of rookies took his team to the playoffs. RGIII also went, but his was a playoff team already. The Colts were in a rebuilding phase, and weren't supposed to do anything this year. Without Luck, this team goes nowhere as we saw last year without Peyton. Oh yeah, he also can run and throw blocks down the field just like anyone else! Maybe better.
Im sorry Peyton you don't deserve MVP. Your team went to the playoffs last year with a QB that was nowhere near his caliber. Brady, sure he deserves to be in the conversation as he is also one of the greatest to ever play. But compared to the seasons of Andrew Luck and Peterson, sorry he still doesnt get it.
Now I know the Heisman is a popularity contest, as Im sure MVP might be. To me, MVP means Most Valuable Player. The only two people that really should be associated with this award this year is Andrew Luck and Adrian Peterson. You can send Comeback Player of the Year to Adrian as well. Rookie of the year should go to Luck, but will probably follow either RGIII or Wilson as they are the popular choice.
