I'm surprised that Brees never won it in New Orleans.

No Receivers.
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

Interesting observation, Ed.  As a byproduct of 'recent' rule changes, I have to believe this will change in the near future.  If Justin J can remain healthy, I suspect he'll have the best chance.  It's also possible that if Jerry Rice wasn't a victim of the '87 player strike, he would have been the MVP.  His 23 TDs in 10 games garnered him 30 votes; Elway nudged him out with 36 votes.  I could be wrong, but I believe that was the closest any WR came to MVP honors.

There have been Receivers who completely took over and dominated yet they give it to the QB who has many options to throw the ball to. Moss, Fitzgerald, Johnson, Harrison, Owens and of course, Jerry Rice. Yet they gave it often to RB's who many say are a dime a dozen and need an Oline. lol

It is very rare that a WR can dominate even a game, let alone a 16-game season. A RB can and a QB can as well as a great defensive player. I can see why no WR has ever won an MVP.
I HATE TO INCLUDE THE WORD NASTY< BUT THAT IS PART OF BEING A WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM.

LT was the only Defensive player on that list.  Damn he was special!  :ok:

Yeah, I noticed that as well.  I looked at the historical list, there was only one other defensive player ever to win that award (from my examination of the list)

1971   NFL   RDT   Alan Page   Minnesota Vikings


I think the one that surprised me was:

1982   NFL   K   Mark Moseley   Washington Redskins   


Beyond that, I didn't see a single WR on the list
