mysportsrumors No matter how much people hate the guy, he definitely did earn the award this year. Amazing turn around by the Colts after that horrible start. -
The Zoner I don't disagree with you, but I think a strong case can be made for Michael Turner. People rave about Matt Ryan, but without Turner we might be talking about how he's a bust. Turner gained 1700 yards and scored 17 TDs with a rookie QB.-
mysportsrumors you're definitely right about that. Turner definitely was instrumental in making Ryan look so good this year.
