The league revealed today that Vick has 729,838 fan votes for the Pro Bowl, which puts him in first place among all players in the entire league.

Vick has surged ahead of Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, who was in first place among all players but has now fallen into second, 38,692 votes behind Vick.

The NFL selects Pro Bowl rosters through a combination of voting from fans, players and coaches. Pro Bowlers will be announced later this month

Who is not mentioning him as an MVP candidate?

I haven't heard any talk of him as MVP. And Darin Gantt apparently was getting in a Twitter-argument deal with some guy who said DG didn't consider Vick among the MVP candidates.

And even on like Mike and Mike, I've never heard them mention him as one as we've gotten deeper into the season which is weird because he's gotten better. But, they have mentioned the Eagles are legit... But, when it comes to MVP talk they are all immediately going to Brady, Rivers, and they were talking about Peyton until the last 2 weeks or so.

It seems like he's getting pub for being a great QB now and still obviously a difference maker, but like he's being ignored for MVP. I could be wrong though, if you've heard any talk of it let me know...

If Vick had no interceptions, he would have been hands down the NFL MVP. Now Vick has to battle it out with Brady and maybe even Matt Ryan. I think Vick is still the favorite of the award, and will most likely win the comeback player award as well. Another one for the record books.

Well Darin Gantt was probably too busy submitting write-in votes for Armanti Edwards at every Pro Bowl Position...so I wouldn't consider his stance as being with the times. But here's some reading for you to prove the talk exists.

USA Today: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2010/12/nfl-mvp-watch-tom-brady-now-at-head-of-the-class/1

Yahoo who rates Vick as the #1 candidate: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/The-NFL-MVP-race-Michael-Vick-and-the-rest?urn=nfl-286682

James Brown of CBS thinks Vick could be NFL MVP:

Sporting News lists him as the favorite:

Bloomberg reports that Vegas odds are getting lower for Vick to win MVP

And this is not even counting talk radio, message boards, random bloggers, etc.
