Romo NFL MVP?

NoShame · Dec 24, 2014

What do you guys think?

He's the NFL's highest rated passer, has the highest completion percentage and a yards per attempt average. He leads the league in 4qtr comebacks and game winning drives.

Other than Romo you have Rodgers, Brady, Manning, and Big Ben... Watt's name will get thrown around but I doubt he gets it considering his team is out of the playoffs.

Romo's numbers are right up there with the QBs, if not better. Manning hasn't looked too good recently. Rodgers is playing for his division this weekend. Same with Big Ben.

Romo's biggest competition might be Murray. And Murray has slowed down quite a bit the last 4 weeks. While Romo has the highest QB rating in December.

Didn't Dbair just start this thread not that long ago?

Anyways, like I said in his thread, I think Murray steals some of Tony's votes. I think he should get it, but doubt he will.

Meh, to me Romo should right up there with anyone and Murray shouldn't even be close.

I know he's had a great year, but we could have done the same things with many other backs. Not so at QB.

He's got as good of a case as anyone else.

Not a bad topic; many in the media are talking about it.

But I've gotta say - I couldn't care less about who gets the league MVP.

MVP is an odd award. People don't even agree on how to define MVP (best player in the league? most important player to his team? most difficult to replace player? etc.). There isn't just one MVP awarded ... several organizations award their version of the MVP. It isn't unusual for the organizations to award their awards to different awardees.

Most outstanding player in the league this year, Romo should win it.

Rodgers and Watt are the favorites to get it tho. Maybe if Tony was a commercial whore, he'd probably take it in a landslide.

Murray is a lock for OPOY.

I have to say... as much as he's been beat up by fans and media his whole career after being saddled in this dysfunctional trainwreck of a franchise, I'd love it if he won this award and a Super Bowl trophy.

Beautiful ending to a career. Elway-esque

I vote for JJ Watt. This guy is the team. He is everything to them. Gets double/triple teamed and still dominates the game, plus score touchdowns.

Murry or Romo, these guys rely too much on the O-line to be productive. Rodgers / Brady ...yawn.

There's only one MVP I want him to win and it ain't this one

LAZARUS_LOGAN · Dec 24, 2014

Rodgers is going to get it. They/ll justify it for his win over the Patriots and comeback win over the Dolphins, all the while ignoring his atrocious games the Seahawks, Saints, and Bills.

The Texans do not have a winning record. That's the idea behind and MVP --- would the team have a winning record without Romo, Rodgers, etc?

In fairness, wouldn't Romo voters be ignoring his atrocious games against San Fran and Philly/

GloryDaysRBack · Dec 24, 2014

Romo should definitely get it. If you take away the games where he threw INTs but kept his td passes...he'd have a 30+to 0 td to Int ratio

Would Rodgers voters be ignoring his awful games against Seattle, Detroit and Buffalo?

I'd like to see Romo get the Landry courage award, for one.

Wtf is the Landry courage award? Heard of the Block.

Apologies. I meant the Landry Legend award and the Ed Block courage award. (Which he's already won.)

Texans dont have a winning record because they dont have a quarterback. Would the Texans have been as competitive this year without Watt? Not even close. I know he wont get it, i just think its boring to always give it to a QB.

Rock Slamdance · Dec 25, 2014

As far as I can tell, Landry legend goes to former players

It may sound simple but my thought process was always you take each team's most valuable player then compare them to each other. Best one of the bunch gets it.
