Not that anyone here needs convincing, but I wrote about Brady's candidacy for ITP: http://insidethepylon.com/nfl/teams-nfl/afc-east/new-england-patriots/2018/01/10/indulge-me-in-some-homerdom-brady-for-mvp/
It's been 14 years since the AP and PFWA winners weren't identical so I would say it's a formality at this point. Still, the last MVP to win it all was Kurt Warner, nearly 2 decades ago. Brady stared the Madden curse in the face and didn't blink. Guess this one is next on the chopping block.
Since 1975, here are the years that PFW MVP weren't the AP NFL MVP(considered the "real" one).
1978
1982
1987
1990
1997
2001
2003
Thought this was funny. On the subject of what's the "official" MVP award, of course Volin does this.
Ben, there is no "official" NFL MVP award. AP has a marketing agreement for their awards at NFL Honors, but the NFL recognizes the AP and PFWA MVP winners in their publications, etc.

Fair enough!
"Fair enough!"????? ... Shouldn't he have known this to begin with?
Quick scan.. so the NFL MVP has been in the superbowl 8 times since Warner won both in 1999.
Matt Ryan, Cam Newton, Peyton Manning (x2), Tom Brady, Shaun Alexander, Rich Gannon and Warner.
Hopefully at the very least Brady gets into the Super Bowl to take his shot and breaking another jinx/curse

Off topic, but the two coaches Manning won Super Bowls with are retired -- while the two he lost them with were each fired after this season
Since the last to win both was Kurt Warner, and given how this dynasty began, Brady winning both this year would be a nice closed circle in a sense.
Seriously.
We are in the middle of something unprecedented with two generational is an immense understatement men leading the way, and the way is now 17 years long. I know we are all supposed to be wetting our pants that Jimmy G isn't about to be the quarterback and Mosh Patdaniels isn't about to be the HC but nobody actually knows how many years this thing is going to go (because it is unprecedented) and what we get to do is watch and find out.
You mean the Super Bowl MVP? [emoji6]
More seriously, I’m not usually superstitious but both times Brady has won the “real” MVP, the team hasn’t won the Super Bowl.
It’s weird but I would kind of prefer he get slighted again.
Well one of those two times we failed to win in the Divisional round, so that one's already behind us.
And let's not mention the other one right now... All I am saying is it's on to Jacksonville.
what? That Brady has a speech prepared and isn’t going to wing it if he wins MVP? I mean it’s not like he’s maniacal about preparation or anything.
I'm convinced Tom looks at the MVP award as a paper weight, but well-deserved in any event. He's the oldest person to win a league MVP in the four major pro sports.
Bonds was a shade younger when he won the NL MVP in 2004, in his age 40 season.

I dont't understand why a system QB is being rewarded for putting up a slightly above average season.
GOATs don’t fall off cliffs often.

Patriots QB Tom Brady (40 years-6 months) just became the oldest MVP in the history of the four major North American sports leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL), surpassing Barry Bonds in 2004 (40 years-4 months).
It would be nice to see one if these shitheads that are so wrong lose their job. No, I’m not gracious like Tom was with the tool that called his daughter a pissant.
JB Smoove!
Yes. Of course the narrative that was created around him -that the Eagles are great mainly because Wentz is great - has been proven to be a little overblown. Not that Wentz is not great, but Wentz wasn't necessarily better or more valuable to his team than Brady, so you are making my point. Ed: Sorry, we are in agreement, mis-read,
What does that have to do with the 2017 MVP vote?
I'm one of the biggest Brady fans in the world. I'm not calling out Brady, just saying Wentz would have won this year if he didn't get hurt b/c there was a push for anyone but Brady.
True. Brady would have won last year if not for the competitive balance suspension.
Man, it's absurd Pederson didn't win. I know they don't take into account the playoffs, but the Eagles went 13-3 and dominated in most of their games.
