MVP: Aaron Rodgers (QB)
Aaron Rodgers has led the Green Bay Packers to an astounding 8-0 start. The Packers electrifying offense has put up an average 416 YPG. So far, Rodgers has pass for 2,619 yards completing 72.5% of his passes. He has a TD to INT ratio of 24:3 and he and the Packers look poised to win back to back super bowls.
Rookie of the Year: Cam Newton (QB)
Although the Carolina Panthers are (2-6), Newton has shown all critics he can be an elite quarterback in the NFL. Not only can he pass but he can rush as well making him very hard to defend. The reemergence of WR Steve Smith has really helped Newton feel comfortable passing in the pocket because he knows that Smith will always come down with the ball if Newton throws it up for him.
Coach of the Year: Jim Harbaugh (49ers)
In the NFL, there has been a history of college coaches struggling when they tried to coach in the NFL (ie. Nick Saban and Steve Spurrier). This has not been the case for Harbaugh as he has led the 49ers to a 8-1 record. Coming from a head coaching job at Stanford, Harbaugh has exceeded expectations as the 49ers have capitalized on a very weak NFC West.
Surprise Team: Cincinnati Bengals (6-3)
After a disastrous off season dealing with the retirement of their starting QB Carson Palmer, the Bengals were left with many questions entering the season. They had a rookie quarterback in Andy Dalton and his main target at wide receiver was another rookie, AJ Green. To much amazement, these two along with a stout defense have led them to 6-3 and in the mix of the playoff race in the AFC.
Most Disappointing Team: Philadelphia Eagles (3-6)
The "Dream Team" had high expectations going into this season. They had spent millions and millions of dollars picking up talented players such as Nnamdi Asomugha, Jason Babin, and Vince Young. Instead of thriving, this team has really struggled as they are now out of playoff contention in the NFC. You have to think head coach Andy Reid is on the hot seat and the front office of the Eagles is really regretting they gave Michael Vick a 100M contract at the start of the season.
