got to thinking w/ all the brees/rodgers debate on the NFL MVP award... it seems like I can better remember the Super Bowl MVP's than I can the NFL MVP of the past several seasons.

What says you?

Depends. You can be the Super Bowl MVP simply because you had the best game of any player on that day without being the actual best player on either roster - see Dwight Smith.

I'd have to go with NFL MVP because there is a much higher competition for that award over a longer period of time.

Yeah but to walk away with that award and no super bowl is kind of a forgetful award...

NFL MVP is more impressive but I would probably remeber the SB MVP before I would the NFL MVP but thats because its the last image sketched in your mind at the end of that season.

QB A has 3 NFL MVP's and 0 Super Bowl MVP's
QB B has 3 Super Bowl MVP's 0 NFL MVP's

Who has the better legacy?

Maybe for you it is.

Super Bowl MVP is given to the guy who had the best performance in one game.

NFL MVP is given to the guy who had the best performance the entire season.

Even if the Super Bowl is the biggest, most important game of the season, I'd much rather say I was more important to my team's success overall than the roughly 2,000 players who play over the course of the NFL season than be the guy who can say I played better on one day than approximately 80-90 other guys.

Just me though.

i think you have to at least have a little of both. The League mvp is about you being the best player in the nfl, but it will only get you so far in the talks until you at least get that one ring. Once you have both, then your there

A because he's a top 3 quarterback of all-time. B won Super Bowls because of his defense, his kicker, and John Kasay going full retard.

Depends. Is Terry Bradshaw's legacy greater than Favre's? I don't think so.

Dan Marino's NFL MVP Season is hardly noted (aside from his record year). What will be always noted is Drew's Super Bowl Ring and MVP.

Is Deion Branch's legacy better than Randy Moss, Cris Carter, and Terrell Owens? What about MVPs like Steve McNair, Tomlinson, and Sanders?

100/100 players would take 3 regular season mvps, 3 titles and 0 super bowl mvps over 3 super bowl mvps, 3 titles and 0 regular season mvps.

Depends. If QB A has 0 superbowl MVPs but has won superbowls then his legacy is greater. If he has 0 superbowl MVPs and no superbowl wins than QB B wins.

How did you jump to a Manning vs Brady debate right there based on those stats? Those dont fit those two at all.

About the same question as would you rather be in the HOF or have a ring?
