Sorry but he hasn't.

Adrian Peterson in 2012 had a 458 DYAR.

Bell is a better 2 way back than Peterson, that's for sure. But it's also worth note that Bell has a much better QB than Peterson ever has. Pittsburgh has many other threats that can hurt you (Brown is one of the best WRs in the NFL, Roethlsberger's Mobility, their defense)

In 2012 Peterson carried Minnesota on his back. Minnesota had no business being in the playoffs. Christian Ponder was their QB. PErcy "Migraine" Harvin was their top receiver, their defense was comfortably below average sporting a good run defense but one of the lower pass defenses in the league. Overall they had no business being in the playoffs with the 9th highest total team efficiency. But because of Adrian Peterson they were. While more efficient teams like the Giants, Panthers, and Bears were left on the outside looking in, Peterson carried them to the playoffs on his back.

How is a team with the 9th highest total efficiency having no business in the playoffs? There are 12 playoff teams. Could they have been lucky? Sure, they had a +10 TO margin. AP had a great season. What Leveon Bell is putting up this season is historic.

Washington now controls their playoff destiny, Win and they're in, lose and they're out. With the 5 seed wrapped up, you have to wonder if the Giants don't rest a bunch of guys. Though I bet they'd love to play spoiler in Washington.

There's a highly convoluted way that Tampa can get in, the first 2 pieces fell in place so the odds have to be way up from the 0.26% chance it had of happening before last night's game.

Skins do not control their own destiny. If Det and GB tie, they are both in.

Ok sorry, Washington realistically control their own destiny. Ties are almost an impossible result in the NFL.

Minnesota had the 9th highest total efficiency in the NFC, I should have made that clearer.

AP had an amazing season. His offensive line was average, unlike Bell's as well.

Bell is having an amazing season. But the point was no one being as Dominant as him, and I wholeheartedly disagree as I think Peterson's 2012 was the most dominant season of a RB ever. Only thing he was missing from his mantle was breaking Dickerson's mark which he fell just 9 yards shy of.

After Week 16. Ryan is first in DYAR, first in DVOA first in Total QBR. Yet he's not gonna win MVP. Imma riot

Bell, Brady, David Johnson, or Matt Ryan.

He isn't going to win because Tom Brady is in the race. Period.

Brady missed 4 games. He shouldn't be in the race. How can you be the MVP of a team that went 3-1 without him.

He should win just to spite Goodell.

I didn't say I agreed with it.

I'm saying thats what the people who vote for it will think.

Hoping the Falcons can close out those pesky Saints for that bye!

[NinersSBChamps]

Connor Cook time! Kiss your job away Derek Carr.

[NinersSBChamps]

Think Cousins should leave Washington. Defense sucks and running game doesn't help. He can't do it all.

They can't franchise him again right ?

[Tapate50]

Falcons let off the gas too soon on the saints.

Still, not sure anyone wants to play Atlanta right now.

They can. His price increases as a result of being tagged again.

[NinersSBChamps]

AFC playoffs are going to be awful and good all at the same time.

Three teams with bad quarterback situations and then KC, Pitt, and New England. Gimme Pittsburgh to come out like I thought they would before the season started.

[Tapate50]

He would fit really well in Houston.

I doubt the Skins let him get away.

[Tapate50]

Chip should have jumped back to Oregon.

Been burned too many times. It's an "I'll believe it when I see it" thing.

I think the Cowboys have the offense to keep Atlanta's offense off the field. Giants have a defense that could make life tough on them. Seattle is a veteran team that's been here plenty of times with the same core group and I'd find it hard to pick against Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs.

I know the Falcons were in auto pilot in the second half today and Brees is still awesome, but we cannot have those kind of lapses in focus. Secondary still looks entirely lost at times.
