Kerry Collins to win 2008 NFL MVP?

Ah. It’s that time of the year in the NFL when we talk about candidates who’ll likely win the MVP.

When we talk about the Most Valuable Player in the NFL this 2008-09 NFL football season, we can define MVP as the player with the best individual stats period, regardless of team record. Some may even say that the MVP is the player with the best stats on the best team, even if another player at the same position has better stats but fails to make the cut just because that certain player is on a losing squad.

But what is the best definition for one to be called an NFL MVP? To me, one should first throw away the individual stats that the best player gets since everyone knows that football is a team sport.

An MVP candidate should make his teammates better and that is the bottomline. He should also be able to help his team achieve the ultimate goal, and that is to win the Super Bowl.

The biggest question now is, with the kind of season the Tennessee Titans have been having so far, is Kerry Collins now MVP worthy?

Everyone knows that the Tennessee Titans hold one of the best records in the league. But for some reason, Collins’ contribution to the Titans’ success has been overlooked and downplayed, with critics hanging the dreaded game manager tag on him. But in reality, Collins has thrown for over 35,000 career yards and made his mark in this league with his arm. He is not just a game manager.

So, while he’s probably not a ‘’favorable’’ NFL MVP candidate considering the competition with the likes of Anquan Boldin or even Tony Romo, he has been invaluable to the Titans’ success and I don’t think anyone could, with a straight face, say that the Titans would be this good this year if Collins didn’t start for them behind center.

And while he may not be a favorable pick, I won’t be surprised to see him win the MVP this year. That and a Super Bowl championship ring.
