Is it too early to discuss Murray for NFL MVP?

[Doomsday101]

We as in those who judge and award MVP candidates. We as in those who rave about a QB's passing numbers and touchdowns.

And, please, stop with the "My argument is more logical than your argument, which is ignorant." Posters use that as a trump card when someone dares to question them.

Third, my awarding Murray the MVP is NOT based on ignorance. In fact, I haven't even awarded him the MVP. What I said was if the Cowboys make the playoffs and Murray rushes for more than 2,000 yards, YES, he should get it.

OJ Simpson won it when he went over 2,000 yards.
Barry Sanders won it when he went over 2,000 yards.
Eric Dickerson won it when he went over 2,000 yards.

DeMarco Murray?

Again, if you're going to attack my position as being ignorant (which it isn't), please, at the very least, know what I'm arguing and don't pass off your cluelessness as ignorance on my part.

I agree with you, in a so called passing league with rules made easier is Rodgers feet that great? not many RB in the history of the game have gone over 2000 yards. Rodgers may get it and would be justified however if Murray gets 2000 his would be just as justified

And to add to your point, in a league and culture that devalues the running back position and has made it more of a rotational position, thus making it harder for a running back to break the 2,000 mark, Murray's feat is that much more noteworthy and makes him even MORE valuable and worthy of the MVP. Rodgers is a great quarterback. But Rodgers and all other quarterbacks are supported and protected by the league via the rules and the schemes in such a way that running backs aren't. So it's even more remarkable what Murray is about to accomplish compared to Rodgers, who isn't putting up Manning of two years ago numbers. Murray's accomplishment (or soon-to-be accomplishment) is equivalent to what Peyton did a few years ago.

I agree, the rules have been put in place to allow QB to flourish they have done nothing to the RB position to make the job any easier. 7 men have been able to break that 2000 mark that should show how hard it is.

Be interesting to see if Watt gets MVP votes.

People have been

discussing Murray for MVP

on here since

week 3.

But, IMO

I think Rodgers will get

the Offensive

MVP award

but, really the NFL

MVP award. Even

though Murray will get some

votes I am sure. But it usually goes to

a QB before a

RB or any

other position.

Murray hopefully should end up

in the top 5 in the voting along

with Rodgers, Brady, Watt,

and Luck.

Again,

this

is

just

my

opinion...

 

[MissouriCowboy]

I'd rather have bell than Murray...

And if you're going to point to records...Bell has three straight with over 200 total yards. Murray has only done that once this year.

Bell I think we need more body of work

Actually Barry Sanders and Brett Favre split the MVP the year Sanders went over 2000 yards.

Peterson and Terrell Davis also won it when they went over 2000. Not sure if that was mentioned previously. The two times that a RB went over 2000 yards and didn't win MVP was Chris Johnson in 2009 and Jamal Lewis in 2003 and they both lost to Peyton Manning LOL.

He should! He has my vote.

Oh wait..I have no vote.

Okay. But Barry Sanders still won it.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that Terrell Davis also won it when he went over 2,000 yards.

Thanks for the addition. I forgot about Peterson and just included Terrell Davis.

Dan Marino actually won the MVP in that 1984 season instead of Eric Dickerson. That was the year he became the 1st QB to pass for 5,000 yards.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I would count on it. Wouldn't shock me if he won.

 

[TwoDeep3]

I might even consider him for defensive MVP since he keeps our defense off the field for great periods of time.

 

[percyhoward]

He has five of em blocking for him.

I really want to see Martin become the first rookie guard ever to make 1st team All-NFL.

And the first rookie at any position on the OL since 1947.

Isn't it true that the Cowboys offensive line actually could win the MVP? I seem to remember that the award can go to a group of players (though it never does). Maybe that's his ticket

 

[Redball Express]

Well Murray has 5 fumbles...

Bell also has nearly 700 yards receiving. I think, total, Murray only has like 80 yards more than Bell. And Bell plays on a team with a horrible OLine.

I think this comes down to Murray's last 3 games.

If Murray does like Emmitt used to do..

throw the team on his back and kick the other team"s doors in..

and enter the playoffs breathing fire..

then he is going to be it.

MVP league.

Rogers is great but he's won a SB..

lead his team to several playoffs..

before.

Murray leading Dallas like that to would be extra special.

I mean the league should be praying for Murray and Co. to charge into the playoffs again.

TV revenue would skyrocket.

Dallas vs GB in the playoffs would bring out all the old ICE BOWL stories again.

What fun.

Almost as good as old Cowboys vs. Steelers SB stories.

Oh my..

I am dreaming aren't I?

That Murray is not even the MVP of the Dallas Cowboys is laughable. He is surely deserving of the League MVP even without going for 2K with all he has accomplished individually and what they have done as a team, but if Murray does surpass 2,000 yards only the most ignorant or the most biased will not concede him the award.

That said, could not care less for the regular season MVP award. I have my sights on the SuperBowl MVP, and so should Murray. Anything less is unworthy.
