Sad to say but Peyton (not a big Peyton fan) is not a bad choice of MVP. Until he was completely healed the Colts sucked. Peterson shouldn't feel upset about losing the MVP since he almost fumbled away the Vikings season at the end. Ryan took away the lime light away from Turner in Atlanta. Harrison, come on a defensive player. Pennington should have won it being able to take a one win team to the playoffs the next year and his stats aren't that shabby either.

I do not concider a person who fumbled so much going down the stretch should even be in the running. A MVP does not do that plan and simple. You can run for 200 yards a game but if you turn the ball over at the wrong time and lose games and your team wins other games in spite of you. He will be known now for Fumbling for along time now and defences will be going after him even more because he is now known for it.

At least he's not whining about not winning. Becoming the first Viking to lead the league in rushing isn't exactly MVP-type stuff.

Lifelong Vikes fan here but Peyton deserved the MVP. That said, Peterson should have been gotten more votes than Michael Turner. Matt Ryan was as much responsible for the Falcons' success as Turner. I would have voted 1. Manning, 2. Pennington 3. Peterson

And good for Peterson for not complaining about this, unlike that dopey Titan Chris Johnson who bitched about not winning Offensive ROY.

Chad Pennington should have won this award hands down, but his face isn't on every other commercial. Without Pennington the 'Phins don't win their division or make the Playoffs. Without Pennington the QB situation is by commitee, so he didn't throw for over 4000 yards for the ninth time in a row. They need to have a best stats award. I think the Colts would have made it in even if Manning had a sub-par year but he had his usual great year even if he started slowly.

Chad won come back player of the year, of course that means you had to stink the previous you so its kind of a back handed compliment. Manning really played well down the stretch.

Surprised he got that many votes. His team was 10-6 in a weak division, he averaged 110 yards a game and led the league in fumbles. Would love to know the day time jobs of the three who voted for him.

Great season-
he keeps that up- he's HOF bound.......
However- your season was not an 'all-time great' season

Chad deserved more votes and Matt Ryan deserved
more votes for where they led their teams from yast year.

MVP slight doesn't upset Peterson....
and he shouldn't be upset.

I think everyone can agree he's done what it takes to be champion. Besides, I like his commercials. He has a great sense of comedic timing.

10 TDs, 9 Fumbles is not an MVP season.

AD is a beast and a former SOONER, he'll get more opportunities to bring home the hardware!

stay focused AD and cut down on the fumbles and you'll be just fine, keep doing what you are doing!!!!!!

BOOMER SOONER!

Adrian Peterson did not have an MVP season. He was the best running back in football this year, but not an MVP. Read Peter King's story about Peyton Manning's knee surgeries this year and you'll all agree that this man deserved it this year hands down.

vikes without AP don't even sniff the playoffs much less earn an appearance, AP deserved more than 3 votes.

The reason why Peterson didn't get more votes? One word: fumbles! He's got a ways to go to be the MVP!

Exactly, he is NOT whining about it. Shows character.
