Manning did deserve comeback player of the year since he was out for the entire 2011 season why AP really miss one game. I initially thought Manning should be MVP but thinking it a bit more, AP does deserve MVP since the Vikings wouldn't made the playoffs without him.
I don't really think the Broncos would've made the playoffs this year if they still had Tebow. I don't know if this is a very good argument.
What IS a good argument is that AP probably had the greatest season for a running back literally ever. I know he didn't beat the record in yards, but it was still just so incredible.
