My vote goes to Shaun Alexander. He's been pretty much unstoppable all season. Each week his numbers seem to get gaudier.

not to mention that GARBAGE TD you got from Antonio Bryant on Sunday night! boy was I steamed about that one too... freakin' Pittsburgh man..
But yeah, I would have to go with Shaun. and *not* because I have him on my fantasy team. He was the first player that came to mind when I saw the thread title. I dunno, who the hell is Seattle, really, without him? I mean, I still think they suck but they win games because of him.
and I'm not even that big of a fan. I've kind of secretly wanted him to do bad. But only to erase the heartache; he would have been a Detroit Lion but the hated Holmgren stole him one pick before the Lions picked, so we grabbed for lardtub Stockar McDougle. just like he used to do in GB when he freakin stole Vonnie Holliday one pick before us, and we were stuck with the worthless Terry Fair. But I sure did enjoy watching Shaun at Bama and knew was gonna be a player so big ups to him. was seriously bummed when Bama lost to LSU this week..

It's almost always a QB award. Sometimes, every four or five years a RB will get it. Last non QB/RB to win MVP was Lawrence Taylor in 1986. Before that, I have no idea.
Last RB to win was Marshall Faulk. I think this is Shaun Alexander's year, if he keeps it up. Of course, next week we could all be talking about Jake Delhomme or Carson Palmer.

He's kind of shockingly underrated; he's stastically having a better season than a lot of the talked up backs this year.
― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Monday, 19 December 2005 15:05 (nineteen years ago)
- years of splitting carries w/ other backs- the Warrick Dunn falacy ("you can't handle the workload or between-tackles running blah blah blah")- the perception of being a chronic fumbler- being Thee Guy on a team w/ higher profile guys (cf. Shockey, Eli, maybe even Plaxico & Strahan?)- being "the ugly Barber brother"

I was thinking more of things Tiki has HAD to overcome (& stuff that might still be dogging him) (or in the case of not being the media dahling that J-Shock & Eli might be, things that are out of his control) (don't change, Tiki). Re: splitting carries - I was thinking primarily of the horseshit Dunder & Lightning days, where Ron Dayne was getting way too much love (because no one told Tiki how to hold the damn ball until last year). & I know some folks, during the Dunder & Lightning heyday, said that Tiki would work great as part of a carry-splitting duo because he couldn't handle the responsibility or punishment that a full-time back takes (& because no one told Tiki how to hold the damn ball until last year.)

I've come to decide that Shockey is incredibly punchable and I'd like to punch him. Is that why he's such a media darling? Because he's a big ass?

But wouldn't this be an argument for Hasselback as well? Not that I know much about it, having seen zero Seattle games this year. This is what Dr. Z says, however:
Once again, the Pro Bowl-voting fans have it exactly wrong. QB Hasselbeck is stiffed for New York's Manning, who showed some deep disturbing flaws against the Chiefs on Sunday. But in the RB department, the Giants' Barber must watch the Hawks' Alexander step to the podium, although there's no doubt in my mind that Tiki's the better player.

God! I've seen this. Back in my TV days, obv. I was willing to watch anything. Not that this was so terrible actually; and I had to stop watching right before the end; the gangsta guy who'd walked out of class at the start shows up for the exam and you go, "Oh shit, I forgot him; he's going to fail and so Mark'll fail and have to er... I forget what he'd have to do. Was he on probation? This was his service, and if any kid failed it was the clink? I forget.
By the way (speaking of MNF), Launch Yahoo is playing Shooter Jennings right now: He used to hang around GN'R, is cashing in on the family name by going country, some of which sounds like Charlie Daniels–Hank Jr. but with touches of Blue Cheer's hippopotamus stomp. His voice is even worse than his dad's, but he somehow gets across. Will make my Scene ballot for sure, single and album.
