Falcons: Atlanta Falcons MVP?

[McUser]

Just read an article about who was the Falcons Team MVP and Offensive and Defensive players of the year so far. Mine are like this:

Team MVP: Matt Ryan, since Ryan has caught fire recently his play has elevated the whole teams. What was once a wildly inconsistent offense has started to become what we hoped it would be. As evidenced earlier in the year, if Ryan plays poorly we as a team suffer greatly. If he's lights out then we are too. He has much more to do with our teams success than say, the Ravens with Flacco. Also you take Ryan out of the equation and we might be a 7 win team. All year we've had terrible o line play, Turner, Jones, and White have all missed time and yet we still sit at 9-5 and in the drivers seat for the 5 seed. To me the biggest and most important piece (sorry Turner, your the second most important now) is Matt Ryan. You put Snelling in the backfield or Rogers and we'd survive. Chris Redman...I don't think so.

Offensive MVP: Michael Turner, since I didn't give him MVP honors, it only seems fair to give the O-MVP to the Burner. He has been a mostly steady force in the backfield and has been a reliable runner and blocker all year. As well as a security valve for Ryan of sorts. If Ryan doesn't recognize the coverage then just audible to a run with your 250 lb running back. He'll make do. Sitting at 1100 yards and 9 td's it's safe to say he's had a big hand in helping this offense move the chains and get in the endzone. Also in the spirit of the fact that he is possibly the best FA signing EVER for us and he'll soon hold all the major rushing records, the Burner should get some love here.

Defensive MVP: This is not all that tough, some might say Lofton, because of consistency and leadership. But how in the world could you overlook the Spoonman? Weatherspoon has been a force of nature out of the OLB position, routinely making game changing and saving plays. Time and time again a team will be on the verge of gaining momentum and making something happen on offense and then what??? SPOOOOOOOOON!!! that's what. He probably deserves this award from electrifying hits alone, but he has done more than that. He stops the run, plays the pass, blitzes the QB, and plays sideline to sideline. Never giving less than 10000%. He is without a doubt our most explosive Defensive player. (Sorry Grimesy. The injury knocked you out of the race)

Anyways, that's my thoughts. Anyone else care to chime in?
