Who is the offensive MVP of the first half?Falcons QB Matt Ryan 29Broncos QB Peyton Manning 20Packers QB Aaron Rodgers 12Vikings RB Adrian Peterson 8Redskins QB Robert Griffin III 6Texans RB Arian Foster 5Giants QB Eli Manning 5Vikings WR Percy Harvin 4Seahawks QB Russell Wilson 3Giant WR Victor Cruz 2Five players received one vote“Matt Ryan. He is 7-0 (now 8-0), right? That’s perfection. You can’t get any better than that.”—Ravens OLB Terrell Suggs“Matt Ryan. He has the ability to kind of really take over games as far as with his arm and leadership. He has a big-time arm, but his leadership shows up in the fourth quarter. You can see it. That’s huge.”—Steelers G Willie Colon“Peyton Manning. He is a good story. I am glad to see him back, and he is beating a lot of good teams for us. ”—Ravens LB Brendon Ayanbadejo, referencing the Broncos' season-opening victory over Pittsburgh“Adrian Peterson. I don’t know if everybody realizes how good this guy is. I’m sure most of the guys who play defense do. He’s a bull, man. He has that combination of size and speed. He plays every down like it’s the Super Bowl. And that’s not even talking about everything that he had to go through coming back from his ACL.”—Browns LB D’Qwell Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Matt Ryan is pretty much the same QB he was last year when he was left off the top 100 players by these same players. Eat it, NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff_Man Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 So now we get to hear how his peers don't matter from the haters, but in the case of the Top 100, it was all we heard about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Matt Ryan is pretty much the same QB he was last year when he was left off the top 100 players by these same players. Eat it, NFL.I am pretty sure the top 100 player thing is based on fan votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilleniumFalcon Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 The top 100 they voted after the Falcons game against the Giants when the offense scored 0 points, it was fresh on everybody's minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ryan year regular season alone should have had him in the top 100... Maybe not high but he should have been on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilleniumFalcon Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 yup but still... Matt Ryan year regular season alone should have had him in the top 100... Maybe not high but he should have been on the list.Ryan finished the 2nd half strong but in the first half, he didn't put up great numbers and also played poorly in the playoff game.

aerosmith67 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Suggs just knows the Ravens would have won a superbowl with Matt Ryan.I think they would have won 2 over the last 4 years, it sounds crazy but the talent would have been there.
