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.”

QED.

And Wilson's, not even considered a serious candidate by the lone GM that mentioned him.

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.

It's pretty clear that a number of GM's don't know their arse from a hole in the ground. Otherwise you wouldn't have the same teams picking in the top 10 of the draft every season.

Exactly.

The GM of the only undefeated team in the NFL just signed Cam to a big contract extension... So many of these GMs do a crap job I wouldn't take their opinion over anyone else's.

"b-but muh fantasy team... muh madden...."

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.

Cam will tell you this only means something......with a Lombardi in February.

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