The NFL MVP at MID-SEASON....WHO will it be?...CANDIDATES Please

We are rolling up on NFL WEEK 9 this week and We know the TOP TEAMS...Right?..the PACK...STEEL CURTAIN...EAGLES...PATRIOTS...and 49ERS.

But one HUGE QUESTION REMAINS.....Who are the MVP CANDIDATES for MID-SEASON?...And are they on WINNING TEAMS?

the BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK MID-SEASON NFL MVP Candidates (In any order):


Aaron RODGERS QB Green Bay PACKERS SUPER BOWL 45 MVP:

* 171/239 71.5% Comp 2,372 YARDS 20 TD's 3 INTs 125.7 QB Rating

It's scary to say on HALLOWEEN that this GUY is better than FAVRE ever was REAL TALK. So ACCURATE, ESCAPABILTY, can Operate on the RUN, Quick RELEASE, Excellent FEET, and doesn't TURN the BALL OVER.

The PACKERS sitting 7-0 right now and I see NO ONE in the NFC that can Match-Up with them except the EAGLES And they have plenty of work to do before they can get to the PACKERS in the PLAYOFFS.


BIG Ben ROETHLISBERGER QB Pittsburgh STEELERS 2-Time Super Bowl Winner:

* 183/284 64.4 % Comp 2,302 Yards 14 TD's 7 INT's 95.7 QB Rating

I have been telling PEOPLE in the KNOW for a while that BIG BEN is NO JOKE....now what?.....Yeah he is unORTHODOX....YEAH he holds on to the BALL way too much sometimes...but he sliced up that #32 Ranked PATS D yesterday like he should have and the NEW WRs are putting him in the ELITE.

The STEELERS are not that OLD Run it Down your throat RUN GAME...they are BIG BEN and then everything else follows. Now if the RUN GAME with MENDENHALL can get rolling...the STEELERS will be in NAPTOWN in FEBRUARY 2012.


LeSEAN MCCOY RB Philadelphia EAGLES...ONLY NFL Player to score in every game played this season:

* 135 Carries 754 YARDS 5.6 avg 8 TDs 23 Rec 138 YARDS 2 TDs

They still have VICK but everyone GAMES PLAN for this RB who is has FEET and VISION that are among some of the BEST Running Backs I have ever seen. Last Night he torched the Dallas COWBOYS who by the WAY came into last Nights game as the #1 Rushing Defense in the LEAGUE at just under 70 YDS per. McCOY had 73 at the end of the 1st Qtr.

Where LeSEAN gets his catches is in the PASSING GAME as ANDY REID, the EAGELS Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator, is the Screen Play CAller in the NFL...and always has been ever since he took over in PHILLY. The EAGLES will go as far as VICK and MR. McCOY take them.


Adrian PETERSON aka ALL DAY RB Minnesota VIKINGS....and Leads all RBs with 9 TDs :

* 167 Carries 798 YARDS 4.8 avg 9 TDs 16 Rec 125 YARDS 1TD

What else ifs there to say...the BEST RB in the BUSINESS and you could ask any Defensive Coordinator or any of ALL DAY's PEERS.

A Violent Runner at the Point of Attack who is always looking for CONTACT. Can also get to PAY DIRT if he gets to the 2nd LEVEL and beyond. He should make Rookie QB Christian PONDER's Transition into a STARTER a smooth one as you can see already they almost beat the PACK n beat the PANTHERS yesterday.

If A P had to work on anything it would be 2 Key Areas. Catching the PIGSKIN out of the backfield and of course not putting the BALL on the ground as much. If those 2 areas can improve the METRODOME ROOF is the LIMIT. The VIKINGS Offensive Coordinator has to know the Short Passing game with A P is an extension of the handoff.


Calvin JOHNSON aka MEGATRON WR Detroit LIONS.....leads the NFL Wideouts with 11TDs:

* 47 Recs 804 YARDS 17.1 Avg 11 TDs NO RUSHING Attempts to date

There is a REASON the LIONS are the flying high at 6-2 at the MID POINT.....it's because of their emergence of their #1 WR Calvin MEGATRON JOHNSON and QB matthew STAFFORD.

JOHNSON is a nightmare to cover because of his size.....6-5 235 EL BEES...and a vertical of over 40 inches. You simply have to put a BIG CORNER on him because a LINEBACKER too slow, DBs are too small, and in the REDZONE virtually unstoppable.

I would venture to say MEGATRON has 18-20 TDs at the END of the SEASON and he would be in the TOP 3 in the FINAL NFL MVP Voting with RODGERS and BIG BEN.

Those are the BLUEDUDE's TOP 5 NFL MVP Candidates at MID-SEASON. A few others to watch for on the list.....

STEVE SMITH WR Carolina PANTHERS
Wes WELKER WR New England PATRIOTS

Mike WALLACE WR Pittsburgh STEELERS
Fred JACKSON RB Buffalo BILLS

Drew BREES QB New Orleans SAINTS
Tom BRADY QB New England PATRIOTS
