Just saw it on Sportscenter. Manning and Peterson tied for second with 9 votes. No mention of DeAngelo.

Makes me wonder what kind of stats he would have needed to even place second. Oh well, he's still in the playoffs.

No surprise here.. QB's with big #'s always win out over RB's.

How in the HELL is Peterson STILL getting more votes than DWill?

Seriously....wtf?

He's going to explode against the Cardinals.

How in the HELL is Peterson STILL getting more votes than DWill?

Two reasons

1. Peterson was on the radar before the season started he was projected to be a stud, in August people were saying Deangelo wasn't even the best back on his team he ended up having about the quietest 1500 yard 18 rushing TD season ever.

2. Peterson lead the league in yards, over 200 more than Deangelo, that's all the casual voter is going to see when they look at a RB, they don't look at ypc, or even care about fumbles.

Don't worry Deangelo is on everyones radar now, he'll be rated as a top 5 back to begin 2009 and if he repeats this years performance he'll win all kinds of awards.

PS:

If I have my way about it I'll have Williams on my Fantasy team for the 4th year in a row

No....One Reason

All of these awards are damn Popularity Contests.

Crazy. Only seven players received votes, and four of them are in our division.
