ROFLZ Manning is officially out of the race, his team will probably miss the playoffs and he's played terrible lately.
If the Chiefs win their division...Matt Cassel? KC came completely outta left field. If the Lions were better, Calvin Johnson really should be considered.
They're all having good years, yes, but I think people are mistaking those for MVP consideration. At this point, Tom Brady is in a tier of his own in this race. Also, if Randy Moss in 07 didn't get consideration at 23 TDs and a perfect regular season, Calvin Johnson (assuming his record was better) at 8-9 less TDs and a 9-7 record has no shot.
I'm pretty sure Brady has started to run away with this award with his performance over the past month.
