Just curious. Personally I think Peterson. Of course I'm biased being a Vikings fan but having one of the best season ever rushing, while carrying your team to the playoffs as a running back, should not be ignored. Peyton did this, both came back from injuries. However, peyton has a way better supporting cast than Peterson, and is in a position To do this way easier at quarterback. Any average QB could have gotten the broncos in the playoffs with the division they are in. They have a number 2 ranked defense, the worst division, and only beat 2 teams all year with winning records, losing to the 3 elite teams they played. Vikings are in the hardest division, and AP has no passing support from ponder, and an average defense. The vikings would obviously be more successful with manning than peterson. That is just due to the nature of the nfl. When a running back does a quarterbacks job like this, Putting the team on their back, its something special. I'm not trying to take anything away from manning. He is undoubtly one of the best quarterbacks of all time. I just think this year Peterson deserves it more.
