Through the eyes of top NFL evaluators, the MVP race may already be over.

An informal survey of six NFL general managers — three from each conference — on Wednesday yielded five votes for Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and one for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

“In my opinion, it’s not even close,” one GM said, speaking on condition of anonymity for competitive reasons. “It’s Cam for sure.”

I always thought he was kind of inaccurate and kind of a (jerk),” the first GM said of Newton. “But he’s growing up, and he’s making big-time plays. Because they’re not really that talented

Dear random NFL GM,

Go fug yourself.

EDIT: Before anyone says "he's an NFL GM, what do you know?" let me point out...the one GM who voted Brady did so because Carolina has more Pro Bowlers on offense than New England. This guy says the team isn't that talented. So which NFL GM is right?

Honestly any person who is paid to analyze football that doesn't think Cam is the MVP right now needs to be fired.

 

The man has 40 total tds, leading the #1 offense in football, and is 14-0 with Ted Ginn as his #1 receiver. Ted fuging Ginn.

Exactly.

Legitimate question that may or may not deserve its own thread, but I'm not that guy...

Has any player had the kind of season Cam has had this year AFTER signing their big money contract?

Most guys ball out in a contract year and get paid. And it's generally accepted that in the NFL you get a contract for what you've done, not what you're going to do. I'm drunk with family in town for the holidays and can't recall, has anyone signed a blockbuster deal and then gone on to have an MVP type season after the fact?

Thats gotta be rare because I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Certainly Favre and Rodgers would be examples of players recently who have done just this.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
