Very good work. You always create great lists and have great research in you posts. Well done.
I disagree, but out of respect for your work, I will put a little thought into mine, instead of just saying that I disagree with parts. I encourage everyone else to do the same.
Since I have nothing better to do :biggrin:

Ill make mine short.....
The Ravens roster.
So the qb that throws for 40+ tds and leads his team to a 15-1 record doesn't make noones all NFL team. Interesting. Did I mention he is the current Superbowl MVP.

u mad bro?
I don't know if you noticed or not...
But Drew Brees threw more yards than anyone in the history of the NFL this year.
Rodgers was maybe the most efficient QB in the league...
but if I have to pick one QB to take care of business based on what they did this year I'm going to pick Brees.
1st Team All-NFL

Good list Zaga, and im not saying that because you got a couple of Ravens on there.
Drew Brees deserves it hands down. Dude broke the record. Rodgers didnt. end of story.
Ray Rice has been a stud this year. IMHO, if he doesnt play or gets hurt, Baltimore doesnt even make the playoffs.
Leach is one of the last true fullbacks left in the game. The guy knows his role and blocks better than any other fullback in the league right now.
You can go against the two Johnsons. Put both on the same team and that QB will throw for 10,000 yardss.

I would have put him in 1st team but he just don't get the ball like he should. So I went MJD because without him that team would go 0-16 and look like Kentucky's O.

Thats a team thing...
Flynn 1-0... Flynn had a better winning % then Rodgers.
Packers Def has a lot to do with that 15-1 record. They have more take aways then many team in the league.
Drew Brees - 1st Team
71.2 - PCT *
5,476 - YDS *
46 - TD's *
Leading the league in those 3 things.... hmmm
800 more yards then Rodgers, 12 less sacks....
And my reason for Tom Brady at 2nd team over Rodgers is because of the Flynn game. Flynn made it just look way too easy. And individual awards shouldn't have anything to do with a teams record.
