G2:Luck for MVP? Why Not

As we approach the last part of the NFL Season, the decision on who wins the NFL MVP still looms at large. There are the usual’s who will be in the running for the award like Peyton Manning who is coming back from his 4th neck surgery and Tom Brady who seems to get better every week. Adrian Peterson is also in the mix this year for the award because he is having one of his best season ever off a torn ACL and he seems to be super human because he is just picking up where he left off. This year I am throwing someone new into the mix, Andrew Luck. This man has basically turned the Colt’s fortunes this year. They have quadrupled their wins from last year, having already won 8 games before the season is over. If the season ended today the Colts would be in the 5th seed. Last year without a quarterback of some talent they faltered and struggled only winning two games. The award MVP stands for Most Valuable Player, and Andrew Luck is the most valuable player to his team because he has helped become relevant again. Andrew Luck plays with really no run game, his main back Donald Brown can’t stay healthy. He has a very young receiving core consisting Dwayne Allen, T.Y. Hilton, and Coby Fleener who are all rookies. He also has a defense that is ranked 22nd in the NFL. Andrew Luck does still manage to have the Colts as the 3rd ranked offense in the NFL and luck is 4th in passing yards as a rookie which is very stunning and proves his value. Not to mention that the offensive line is not the best in the NFL. There is no mystery that Luck is done more with less talent than his predecessor Peyton Manning. Tom Brady’s team and Peyton Manning’s team both are much more talented than Luck’s team. Peyton has a dominant pass rush, a good offensive line, and nice core of wide receivers. Tom Brady is playing with an embarrassment of riches on offense. I firmly believe that luck should win it because he is doing something that has never been done before with so much less talent.
