Top 5 2009-2010 NFL MVP Candidates
Drew Brees should have won the 2008 MVP award in my opinion. Brees had the best season of any NFL quarterback with his best receiver injured most of the season. The Saints defense lost them games last year, and may hurt Brees' chances of an MVP even if he puts up record numbers. If the Saints can win 10-11 games, Brees will be a serious threat in the MVP race.
#4. Larry Fitzgerald- WR Arizona Cardinals
Larry Fitzgerald has the best chance of any wide receiver to win the NFL MVP. The Chances of a receiver winning the MVP award is slim considering the last time a WR even shared a MVP trophy was in 1990 (Jerry Rice). Fitzgerald is a freak, and Warner is back at QB, so Fitzgerald's potential in 2009 is limitless. Fitzgerald has a solid chance because of his ability, even if it has been nearly 20 years since a WR has won the award.
#3. Peyton Manning- QB Indianapolis Colts
Peyton Manning has won 3 of the last 6 MVP awards and will contend for another this season. Manning has plenty of weapons at his disposal even though he is without Marvin Harrison. The Colts, as long as they stay healthy, will make the playoffs and could reach another Super Bowl. Peyton Manning will challenge Tom Brady and Adrian Peterson for the 2009 NFL MVP.
#2. Adrian Peterson- RB Minnesota Vikings
The leading rusher from 2008 (1760 yards) will be back in top notch form in 2009. The addition of Brett Favre should open up more opportunities for Peterson to run free. Peterson will once again lead the league in rushing (as long as he stays healthy), and will have an opportunity to win the MVP if the Vikings have a solid season.
#1. Tom Brady- QB New England Patriots
The Patriots will have their man back behind center for the 2009 season. Brady is healthy and has an offense that he could win another Super Bowl with even with questions at running back. Brady is one of the best and most efficient quarterbacks in the league, and has the best coach directing his team to victory. The Patriots should have a very strong regular season, which will increase Brady's chances of winning another MVP. If I had to put my money on one player to win MVP, it would be Tom Brady.

guys this article was published on August 25, 2009. These were the projections before the season started.
Tom Brady...No Way, Brett Favre should win.
#5- Andre Johnson
#4- Brett Favre
#3- Drew Brees
#2- Peyton Manning
#1- Chris Johnson
Tom Brady and Adrian Peterson should not even be considered in this race. Peyton Manning should win this hands down. After the saints lost to tampa bay Brees is out and Lary isn't as good as Anthony Johnson or Reggie Wayne. P. Manning for MVP!!!!!!!!
To me, there is only really one candidate: Peyton Manning. Favre and Brees are great QBs, no doubt - BUT- they also have great supporting casts. Without Favre, the Vikings would not be doing as well as they are probably, but would still be pretty decent, same for the Saints. Look at the definition of the term: Most Valuable Player. Without Peyton Manning, how would Indy be doing? Maybe .500? I would say that makes him pretty valuable. As a Baltimore fan, I am supposed to hate the Colts, but their results are hard to argue with. I like Flacco, but he isn't there yet. And yeah, there are a bunch of great RBs, WRs, etc., but this has been a QB year. And don't even bring up tom brady...
Easily you can give the MVP to Chris Johnson. But I also think Brees, Manning, and Favre could also get MVP. Chris put his team on his back for the past 5 games, 800 yards in 1 month..C'mon man, give him the MVP.
What about Kyle Orton man c'mon
Where is Chris Johnson on your list? CJ is easily the best running back in the league this year. He's probably going to reach 2000 yards and Peterson wont. CJ is the only player in NFL history to have at least 3 85+ yard touchdown runs. CJ is easily MVP even though his team is 5-6
Favre is MVP by far.
