No Love for D-Will is offensive and ignorant
Check out this link: http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d81476f6e&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true. This article talks about the MVP race and who is the most invaluable player to their team. They mention so many players, but leave out D-Will. He gets no respect. It's really frustrating.
The article mentions Jared Allen. He has 10.5 sacks. He got 7 of them in two games against the Pack, and only 3.5 in the other 8 games. Darren Sharper is listed, 7 picks and 3 TDs, but the defense also has Vilma and the offense has to come from behind almost every game it seems. Steven Jackson and Maurice-Jones Drew are listed. Jackson is averaging fewer yards per carry and has half the TDs as D-Will for the last place Rams. MJD has fewer yards on 13 more carries, and averages .6 fewer yards per carry than D-Will. I can be honest and give all these guys credit where it's due, because all of them are having great seasons, but it seems that D-Will is just being ignored. He's averaging 5.4 yards per carry and almost 100 yards per game. He has at least 3 carries of 50 yards or more. I just want to see D-Will get the credit he deserves. He never gets mentioned for Ground Player of the Week, even when he ran for 149 yards and 2 TDs, and he never gets mentioned in the argument of the NFL's best RB that includes Chris Johnson and AP, the league leader in fumbles and the 2nd most important player on his team. With the emergence of Sydney Rice, and the play of Allen and Favre, it's hard to say he is more valuable in Minnesota than D-Will in Carolina. The Pro Bowl vote is a popularity contest. I know fantasy football leaguers know how dominant he is, but he gets no mention from the supposed experts. It's really irritating.

That’s easy. It’s because these “experts” are really just high school president candidates in the real world. I won’t dare coin them sport politicians because they’re not that smart. They take a few popular names, add an underdog or two to give the illusion of being fair, and hope it makes them popular.
Double Trouble; we've got the best running backs in the NFL that never see the ball!
DeAngelo is the second probowl RB for nfc as of now
Steven Jackson has 1,031yds, only 3 tds, avg is 3.8, on 215 attempts. Adrian Peterson has 999 yds, avg is 4.9, on 205 attempts, but has 11 tds. Meanwhile DeAngelo Williams has 982 yds on only 181 attempts giving him a better average than both, but he only has 7 tds, in comparison more than doubles Jackson and is four short of Peterson. DeAngelo needs more carries to get over Adrian in the pro bowl race. As for the mvp if things stay the way they are Brett and peyton will share it.

Yeah it’s a shame that an abundant amount of carries outweighs a talented runner.
Seems people forgot that quantity doesn’t mean quality. Lets also remember that A.P. doesn’t have a back-up that would probably start on over half of the other teams in the NFL who he splits carries with.
It’s alright with me, though, I’d rather not see our players play a meaningless game and risk an injury.

Brett and Peyton share MVP?
Peyton yes, but Favre? It will be tough to deny Chris Johnson if he breaks the season rushing record (which he’s on pace to do).

I remember reading an interview before the season...
Where he said his goal was to out-rush DeAngelo Williams, because he felt people didn’t believe he was the better back of the two. Sadly, I have no idea where that article is now.
Sadly, it looks like that will be the case being LenDale decided not to show up this season and Davidson halfway runs the ball half the time amongst two backs.
What I’ll be watching today is Williams numbers against the Jets (Johnson rushed for 97yds on 22 carries for a 4.4yd avg earlier in the season) and Johnson’s numbers against Arizona (where we all know Williams scorched them).

They love Brett
True about Chris although I think to be a true mvp your team most make the payoffs

hard sell on johnson
i think chris johnson will be a hard sell because the difference in the wins and losses has been vince young. if you tell me he deserves it over favre or manning, or even brees, i would say that they were 0-6 with him starting, and then started winning when young became the starter. wouldn’t that make young the mvp. 0-6 with collins and johnson, 5-0 with young and johnson.
