Even if it's not legit, it's legit...Lets be honest here. Is there anyone else it could have possibly been this year?

It's "legit", but you need to note that this is for the Professional Football Writers' Association of America MVP award, NOT for the Associated Press MVP Award, which is the one that is usually meant when people talk about the "NFL MVP" award. The AP MVP has not been announced yet.

We can't give too much weight to the PFWAA MVP, because they never gave this award to John Elway (which automatically calls their credibility into question). In 1987, when Elway won the AP MVP award, the PFWAA gave theirs instead to Jerry Rice. The only other Bronco named as MVP by the PFWAA was Terrell Davis in 1998.

Manning takes home MVP and OPOTY?

Is this legit? This is the only news site reporting this info. If it is, MVP was a shoe-in but I would think LeSean McCoy would take the OPOTY.

It's Manning's for sure but LeSean McCoy? Jamal Charles deserves it more than McCoy if we're talking RBs.

Charles had more help than McCoy did. It should go to McCoy

Really? I disagree. I think Foles/Jackson/Cooper is a better passing game combo than Smith/Bowe/Avery. The Chiefs also had a number of injuries along their offensive line, and had to shuffle in backups and switch starters' positions (similar to what the Broncos had to do this year). I don't see where the Chiefs gave Charles "more help" than McCoy had in Philly.

He should have won it last year as well!! Congrats Peyton if it rings true!

Alex Smith and Dwayne Bowe are pretty solid, Avery has always been a threat (when he holds onto the ball), and KC's DEF helped out their O. Coming into the year Cooper and Foles were not household names & PHI's D was atrocious
