Week 2 NFL MVP Candidates

I did my preseason NFL MVP candidates and now I want to revisit that and either add or subtract from that list.
  • Peyton Manning (If healthy) - For obvious reasons, Peyton will be removed from this list.
  • Tom Brady - Right now he looks like the leading candidate for league MVP.  Over 900 yards after the first 2 weeks.
  • Michael Vick - Vick means a lot to his team's success and will rise or fall based on his play.
  • Philip Rivers - With the numbers he puts up he is always in consideration.
  • Matt Ryan - He maybe falling down the list a little bit, but his teammate may have worked his way on the list.
  • Michael Turner - The team seems to succeed based on the number of touches he receives either running or receiving the ball.  
  • Ray Rice - Explanation similar to Michael Turner
  • Adrian Petersen - The only good thing going on in Minnesota right now.
  • Darren McFadden  - Raiders look like an actual team right now and he's a big part of the reason.
  • Arian Foster - So far injured
  • Aaron Rodgers - Probably up there with Brady on this list with the way he is performing.
  • Drew Brees - Probably should have been on the original list.  So far he's having an MVP caliber season.
  • Cam Newton - Forget offensive rookie of the year.  I'm putting him on this list.
  • Calvin Johnson - Him and his teammate who also is having a great season so far are putting up great numbers
  • Matthew Stafford - If he keeps this up and stays healthy then he has a great chance of winning MVP.
Blue - Additions to the list
Red - Subtractions.

  1. Well looks like you can erase Peyton from this list with him going back under the knife.
