Awards for the first Quarter its pointless, but fun to do MVP-Donavon McNabb Off Player- Shaun Alexander Def Player-Patrick Kerney Coach-Jack Del Rio O Rook-Roy Williams D Rook-? i dont kno Suprise Team-Chiefs Darkhorse the rest of the way-Texans
I agree on pointlessness. but i will do it too MVP - Tom Brady (now patriot fans leave me alone) Off Player - Manning Def Player - Kerney - hard to pick against him Coach - Jim Mora O rook - Roy williams D rook Sean taylor - just my miami bias Surprise Team - Atlanta Darkhorse - Cleveland browns - they will compete for playoffs. (more miami canes bias)
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Steelerfan_2004)</div><div class='quotemain'>O rook.... Can you say Ben Roethlisberger? </div> Roy williams has been super impressive, so has roth, but he didnt start whole season so roy get nod, at least for first 4 games.
I gotta give Williams the award as well. He has been Detroit's most dangerous weapon. However, if Roth keeps playing as well as he has been, he will definitely win the rookie of the year award.
MVP - Duce Staley Off Player - Tiki Barber - NYG Def Player - Charles Grant - NO Coach - Belicheck - NE O rook - B. Roethlisberger - PIT D rook - G. Wilson - NY Giants Surprise Team - NY Giants Darkhorse - San Diego Chargers

Roth has won the last 2 against Cleveland and Cinncinatti
Yeah, but QB is a more difficult position to play, and he's playing with a lot of poise. Also, you have to remember, Pittsburgh/Cleveland is a rivalry game. I don't care how bad Cleveland is, that's a tough game for Pittsburgh.
Roth will struggle in some games, and it will hurt his chances. If roy struggles it wont make as big of a deal.
I hear ya BF1. It's tough because he's played so well of late. But now we've got the Cowboys, Patriots, and then Eagles. This will be the time to see what kind of player he is. I don't think Cowher is going to ask him to win any of those games, but not to lose them. Should be interesting either way. And VF makes an excellent point that playing QB is much more difficult then playing receiver. Roy Williams impacts such a small part of what the Lions do to win, whereas Roethlisberger is in control of half of what the Steelers do to win. Big difference. So you guys can get off your NFC butt kissing. It's going to be an AFC player who wins the Offensive ROY.
MVP - McNabb Off Player - Shaun Alexander Def Player - Jevon Kearse Coach - Coughlin O rook - Roy Williams D rook - Shawn Taylor Surprise Team - Falcons, Giants and Chiefs
EAgles lead the league in Sacks. Last year they were close to the last in sacks. His presence alone makes a HUGE difference.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Steelerfan_2004)</div><div class='quotemain'>I'm surprised you mention McNabb as MVP.... I think I'll let that one go though.</div> At least this one can be defended. McNabb has been playing extremely well. Although, I wouldn't put him at playing the best so far.
Culpepper has lost only 1 fumble all season. That's not too bad. Granted, he has put the ball on the grass 5 times alltogether.
I would agree, after the game yesterday Culpepper is a viable MVP candidate. And if not for the MNF game in Philly, he would be a run away winner.
