Should Antonio Brown be considered for MVP?

If QBs could not be MVP, who would be this year?

Watt?? Maybe, but not as great a year as last.
Peterson?? Not even close to his best season, though he leads the league.
AB?? Bingo. I would place him 4th behind Cam, Palmer and Brady.

Luke Kuechly

I'd agree AB is a game changer who can completely own the other team. He makes the team, rest of the receivers, as well as Ben much better. I'm not sure I wouldn't put him ahead of marcia but I do have a Pats* bias.

I know this sounds a little crazy, but if we were talking about team MVP I think Boswell deserves some votes. I wouldn't pick him to win but we saw how things went with Scobee. Boswell solidified the position and gave us reliability.

AB or Gronkowski. Pats* without Gronk looked like an above average team, but not a championship team.

My vote goes to AB. More receptions in a 3 season timespan than Marvin Harrison, Wes Welker, and Jerry Rice. He's explosive, and he has also managed to put up disgusting stats this season, despite playing multiple games with Mike Vick, and Landry Jones under center. He completely victimized one of the best corners in the league in Chris Harris JR as well, and should've had a better game against Richard Sherman if the refs weren't just letting Sherman do whatever he wanted.

Actually it shouldn't have. The topic was should AB be considered for MVP. Last I checked, he was a Steeler.

Maybe you should have made that more clear in the title.

To me its pretty much just asking who should be MVP, and that's what the discussion turned into.

NFL forum seems appropriate to me. That's just my opinion though.

The title "MVP" is kind of broad, and the way you worded your original post doesn't really make it clear that it's a discussion specific to AB as an MVP candidate which is why I moved it to the NFL section.

I changed the title and moved this back to the Steelers Talk forum.

Well now that thats settled ... lol.... AB should be in the discussion.. however the one thing that works against him is how his production dropped off with Vick or Jones in there. I think Vick and Jones both suck, I don't see any WR having numbers with them in there. Another question that should be asked is what if AB were injured or something and we had to go with Bryant Wheaton and DHB or something like that. Would we still be where we are? We would still have a strong pass game and we would still have a good run game.

AB would certainly be in the discussion, but it is hard to really argue for any WR to be an MVP when QBs and RBs are usually the ones putting a team on their shoulders. I would probably put Roethlisberger ahead of AB. I feel that Roethlisberger makes AB, AB does not make Roethlisberger. No matter how great AB is, he won't win MVP.

AB having a career year, but he isn't even the Steelers MVP IMO.

If you sit AB for 4 games due to injury instead of the 4 that Ben missed, the Steelers still likely beat Baltimore and KC. Without Ben, nobody can get the ball to AB like Ben does, not Vick, not Jones. Ben is more valuable to his team than A.B. is.

Absolutely NOT! The seachickens proved this. We still have Wheaton, Bryant and DHB!
