2012, Best Player in the NFL

[RazorStar 4,025]

We've got some interesting matchups today. Two pretty-boy QB's go at it, the defensive MVPs of two teams take their shots against each other, two physical NFC running backs test their mettle against each other, and finally offensive leaders of the Panthers and Steelers go head to head.

 

Remember, you're voting for the best player right now. I only ask you not to factor in upside and potential in your votes. Vote for what these players are showing now, and what they have shown in their careers thus far. Topics will close at 8 PM eastern the day after I make the topic unless that amount of time is less than 24 hours. Otherwise, the polls will just last for 24 hours.

Awesome pic of Gore. Sorry though Frank, AD gets the vote.

I'm a bit surprised at how badly Joseph is being roflstomped by Campbell.

Daryl Smith over Patrick Willis and now Tony Romo over Tom Brady...can we ban Vin from voting in these things?

Vin's obviously on crack the last couple of days.
