Inside the NCL: the 2014 NFL MVP

Once a generation, a talent emerges from the mire of pre-draft collections and over-bloated college performances to become the next great one. I'm here to tell you, that the NFL's next great quarterback has arrived. That man is Colt McCoy.

After taking over in Cleveland, McCoy has led the Browns to victories over New England and New Orleans and given a long-suffering fanbase a reason to believe. That is why I feel absolutely confident in continuing my long-standing tradition of identifying excellence in the world of sports (Mark Prior, Chris Simms). Colt McCoy-2014 NFL MVP.

Mid-Way Point

With the season past its half-way mark, NCL franchises can begin to peg themselves into where their going to finish. Jace is unquestionably the man to beat, and it will tough to unseat him as Aaron Rodgers and Adrian Peterson keep producing week after week. The second tier, Justin, Austin (surprise debut season) and Wall are definitely in the mix, but Jace will have to slip up to let them back in. Steve and Bille are in the mix for the money, and everyone else should begin planning for next season and hope their asses off they can win a weekly points pot.

Franchise Trade

Is Martin the new Bobby? I sure as hell don't know, but the Chris Johnson for 'Hurt Hammy' Darren McFadden and a 2nd round pick in 2011 is a fleecing for the next two seasons. Chris Johnson, consensus number one fantasy player for 2010 has not disappointed with 721 yards and 8 TDs. McFadden has more yards with only 4 TDs, and has seemingly resurrected his career in Oakland. Martin turned down a 2011 1st and 2nd round draft pick from Tom to take the Wall deal in hopes that McFadden will still give him a chance to compete in 2010. Memo to Martin: You're 4-5. You're season is toast. Now you move into 2011 with and injury prone McFadden, an inconsistent Matt Schaub and Roddy White (I'll give it you here, Martin. I didn't like the franchise tag last year, so I'm picking crow out of my bicuspids). While backs that go over 2,000 yards are typically Barbaro for the remainder of their careers, Chris Johnson has been durable thus far and manages to elude the big hit. Now 'James Carville' Wall rolls into 2011 with LeSean McCoy (admittedly disappointing), Matt Forte and Chris Johnson. He's the new Jace for years to come. Thanks, Martin.

NOTES


-Arian Foster has emerged as one of the league's leading rushers and shows supreme balance and strength when running in the Texans' zone-blocking scheme. Justin stole the draft with the selection of Foster.

-Anyone else find it hilarious that after half of one season and never meeting the woman that Austin has already hopped 'on-board' the Nancy Wall wagon? For the record, who hasn't hopped on-board the Nancy Wall wagon?

-Kelly's selection of Eli Manning looked stupid in August, and although it was incredibly early Manning is one some experts' short list for MVP.
