MVP:

Offensive Player of the Year:
Defensive Player of the Year:

Offensive Rookie of the Year:
Defensive Rookie of the Year:

Comeback player:

Coach of the Year:

How about a couple for fun?

Goat of the year:
Underachiever of the year:
Most devastating injury of the year: Peyton Manning (filled that one in for you)

This event marked the turning point for your division:
Best offseason move:

If you're still looking for more, do the MVP/other awards specific to your team where applicable and explain why.

 

[Ramy]

MVP: Aaron Rodgers

Offensive Rookie of the Year: Andy Dalton

Coach of the year: Marvin Lewis

 

[HD MM]

MVP: Aaron Rogers. Best QB on the best team.

Offensive Player of the Year: Drew Brees (Just broke Marino's long standing record)
Defensive Player of the Year: T-Sizzle

Coach of the Year: Kubiak. It's amazing what the Texans are doing with so many key pieces hurt.

Goat of the year: McNabb. The Vikings were 2 years removed from contending and not yet ready to rebuild. Even so, with or without McNabb, they're among the worst in the NFL. Stick a fork in him.
Underachiever of the year: NNamdi. The face of the Dream Team free agency class who failed to meet expectation.
Most devastating injury of the year: Peyton Manning (filled that one in for you)
This event marked the turning point for your division: The Harrison hit on McCoy. McCoy may never play another down in Cleveland.
Best offseason move: Sproles to the Saints. One of the few holes on offense last year was at the RB position. With Sproles, they are now extremely deep and explosive.
Worst offseason move: Braylon Edwards to the Niners. He's been worthless.

ROY: Cam Newton. Hands freaking down. It's amazing what he's doing as a rookie and at a position where QB's don't typically succeed to the extent that he is, as soon as he is.

Oops, edited in offensive and defensive rookies. Comeback player too.

Jerome Simpson's TD last Saturday.

Absolutely, that was the play of the century.

Sorry my bad, when I said Gronk was offensive POTY, "P" was for player not play.

Pro Bowl rosters are such a joke now, almost completely irrelevant until the end of the playoffs and you know which teams and players to remove from it due to injury/making it to the Super Bowl.

Without getting off topic, this is the crux of the NFL "all star" game ... unlike any other sport, there's no perfect time for this game.

 

[BillD1984]

It's a joke that Rivers was the AFC's third QB over Tebow. I'm not a Tebow worshipper, but he had a much better season than Rivers.

 

[Jimbo]

I'd take Dalton over Tebow.

 

[Jimbo]

Most of the time players get in the Pro Bowl on PAST performances .... such as Rivers did this year. (personally I think he's hurt).

 

[Jimbo]

5 Bears players make the Pro Bowl and only 1 Lion ?

5 Bears and Hester isn't one of them no less.

Lions Johnson, Stafford, Avrill should have made it for sure.

Stafford / Suh / Delmas are reportedly alternates. Seen other say Avril was snubbed, but at a glance his stats are pretty weak vs those who were selected.

Avril deserves it over Suh.

Also, you can't measure everything with a stat.

compelling argument...
