No, Brady, Peterson and Palmer are all ahead of him.

Wow!!! What a way to put your foot in your mouth.
Re: Is Cam Newton the favorite to win MVP atm?
I'm aware that the Patriots have a good defense. However, being very marginally better at giving up slightly less points, doesn't account for the huge difference in yards allowed. The Patriots defense is much easier to move the ball on than the Panthers defense.elmouse03 wrote:Well not to burst your bubble but the Patriots have the best defense in the league giving up 18.2ppg.

The Patriots have Belichick who was the DC of the 86 and 90 Giants title teams. He will find a way to always put his defense in a way to help them win games and he doesn't have no LT type of player on the Pats like he did with the Giants. Imagine if he did though.Kevin wrote:I'm aware that the Patriots have a good defense.

Good work. Most title contenders are more than likely a top defensive team.elmerjfudd wrote:They give up 28 yards a game more than the panthersKevin wrote:I'm aware that the Patriots have a good defense.

As an average, that is significant.elmerjfudd wrote:They give up 28 yards a game more than the panthersKevin wrote:I'm aware that the Patriots have a good defense.

Significant enough to call it a "huge difference" in yards allowed and for the Panthers to be called "by far the best defense in the NFL" despite not leading the league in points for or yards against?Kevin wrote:As an average, that is significant.elmerjfudd wrote:They give up 28 yards a game more than the panthersKevin wrote: I'm aware that the Patriots have a good defense.
