Pennington for MVP?

What a maroon. That sure was an MVP-worthy performance at home against Baltimore, eh?

As for your argument that the Dolphins wouldn’t have been anywhere near 11-5 without him:

1) The Dolphins’ offense is predicated on a formation in which your ostensible MVP QB doesn’t even take the snap,

2) The Colts would have been challenging the Rams for draft position without Peyton Manning. His worth to the Colts’ 12-4 record far outweighs Pennington’s worth to the Dolphins’ 11-5 record, and,

3) Manning threw for 3 TDs in leading the Colts to a 31-3 route of the Ravens *in Baltimore* - contrasted to either of Pennington’s at-home performances against the same Ravens team.

Regarding Sproles: lots of special-teams yards, due primarily to the game’s true MVP: Punter Scrifes, who pinned the Colts inside their 10 about six times. The Colts’ Hunter Smith set up a lot of those Sproles returns by being forced to punt out of the Colts’ end zone numerous times.

That was easily the single best performance by a punter, ever.

I know Pat Williams was out injured, but Kevin Williams, Jared Allen, Antonio Winfield, Darren Sharper, and Chad Greenway aren’t chopped liver you know.

Chip, No one called you names, why come on here and start out by being rude? You have some valid points, just make them honestly and politely and you will come across a lot better.
I was pretty impressed with Pennington throughout the year. MVP? I don’t know, seems like an argument could be made but there are others who were deserving, and Manning was one of them.

Coats, I’d like you to name the “Rams front-office type” who declared Sproles as not an NFL-caliber player. Was it Shaw or Ziggy?

Either way it’s just more proof that’s what you get when you have a crooked accountant and a blood sucking lawyer running an NFL team instead of football people.

Huge Warner fan and now I am pulling for the Big Red in every game except vs. the Rams! It is nice to have two NFL teams to pull for each week.

A little late to the conversation. Chip, the Dolphins were not predicated on the wildcat formation. It was a handful of plays a game that got a lot of press because they stood out. Here are Pennington’s numbers. 97.4% completion, 3,653 yards and 19 tds. Not bad numbers. I’m not saying he’s the MVP, but do a little research before you begin your rants.
