Not to take anything away from Matt Ryan, but Michael Turner has been instrumental in the turn around too. I think he was 2nd in the leauge in yards and TD's. He's the one who opened up the field for Matt Ryan.

I'd have voted for Pennington but have no problem with Manning winning it.

Has there ever been a Pro Bowl QB until this year that hasn't thrown more TDs than INTs?

Isn't he going to miss the game anyway because of the arm injury? You would think/hope that Pennington would be the replacement.

Sorry. My sarcasm didn't show too well. I am just waiting for Favre to cry again and lead the media through another 4 months of agony with his indecision.

I do think that the highlight of the year in the NFL was when Pennington lead the Dolphins over the Jets. I really don't care about either team, but to see Pennington get the revenge over the Jets he deserved was awesome.

Couldnt agree more. If anyone deserves MVP consideration from that team it's Burner Turner. You are correct, he was 2nd in the league in rushing and TD's.

Coach of the Year could go in many directions as well. This wasnt the year of the run away, clear cut winner in the awards categories, IMO.

I think it's a 2 horse race between, Smith and Sparano.

With Harbaugh being the darkhorse. But your right, it's essentially a match race. I'd have to give the slightest of nods to Smith.

Harbaugh gets honorable mention, but he inherited one of the best defenses in the leauge. I want to say Smith too, but to win the division after being 1-15 the year before is pretty impressive. There was a big turn around on defense and also not being afraid to bring the wildcat formation to the table on offense like they did. So I will say it goes to Sparano.

Mike Singletary, anytime you show your ass to your players and they go 5-2 down the stretch you should be a lock.

I was playing poker @ the Taj when I looked up and seen the clip of Jed York retaining Singletary and giving him the game ball. ALl of the players went wolvey bezerk style. Chills rushed down my back. I'm talking Rocky II chills when Rocky gets up and Creed collapses. Good for him, they'll be alright.

LOL, you're right! But I'd have to go with Smith cuz Atlanta's fans are nuts right now and the City is breatheing new air now that the teams' situation has turned around from last year.

Yeah, its a tough one no doubt. I'd go Smith if I had a gun to the head. Neither turn around was expected to happen first year like this. I feel that if ATL won the NFC SOuth and not the wildcard, it's Smith without a doubt.(i'm a tad biased, he took a liking to Brent Grimes last year when he was DC, promoted him from practice squad last year and made him a starter in the offseason before he tweaked his hammy the week he was to play his hometown Birds). Sparano took a 1-15 team in ARGUABLY the toughest division in football, and won the damn thing. Dead heat maybe?

Fisher would have been in the mix had his team not went 1-2 in the last 3. The loss @ Houston took care of that debate. One look at their recieving core, and you really find it amazing. Gage was out for awhile too. I know it was the defense and running game that got them here, but still a great job nonetheless.
