Offensive Player of the Year: Comeback Kids
Adrian Peterson and Peyton Manning have rebounded from injuries to resume their places among the best offensive weapons in the NFL.
2011 PFF Offensive Player of the Year
The 2011 regular season is no more, but it will live on in the history books as we saw a season where records were broken all across the league. Dan Marino and Kellen Winslow’s single-season yardage marks were both shattered this season as a pair of records fell that had stood for a combined 58 [...]
Player of the Year Candidates – the PFF Perspective
We may be in the holiday season right now but there’s a far more interesting, and even more stressful season coming on. Awards season in the NFL. This is the time to make those near-impossible personal preference decisions as to who the best players are at each position. A thankless task but one that often [...]
Offensive Player of the Year: End game
Editor’s Note: As the NFL releases its major awards this week we’ll re-run our choices for comparison’s sake. This originally ran Jan. 7. While the individual level of quarterback play hasn’t quite hit the heights of Philip Rivers, et al. in 2009, the sheer quantity of quality quarterback play this year has been staggering. Whatever [...]
Offensive Player of the Year: Rodgers that
And so the end is nearly here. Next week we’ll be announcing our end of year awards so this is the last time we’ll be putting these lists together. That means we’re getting the criticism in while the going is good. So tight are things at the top that you could make a legitimate case [...]
Offensive Player of the Year: The Ice is melting
You can’t have a below-average three-game stretch and expect to lead these rankings, as Matt Ryan proves this week. Instead, you need to play at the kind of level that Philip Rivers displayed in dismantling his divisional rival Chiefs (we’re not on to his Thursday night game yet). That’s why he has moved to the [...]
Offensive Player of the Year: Stasis by default
In 2010 we’ve become accustomed to great quarterback play. We’ve awarded the highest grades we’ve ever given to them and as a result they’ve built quite the lead over the nearest challengers. And then Week 13 happened. Pretty much all the top quarterbacks had bad weeks by the high standards they had set themselves, and [...]
Offensive Player of the Year: Falcon still soaring
There’s always going to be some controversy doing these things. People will ask, how can you have a guy 11th in yardage, ninth in touchdowns and 10th in completion percentage as your top offensive player? You know what I say to that? Watch the guy. The Falcons are 9-2 for a reason, and the biggest [...]
Offensive Player of the Year: Ice, Ice, baby
There’s a new man at the top of our Offensive Player of the Year rankings. And it’s getting chilly in here. With ice running through his veins, the ultra-composed Matt Ryan is playing at a level right now that has us thinking we’re seeing a new guy entering the ranks of the elite QB. But [...]
