Updated packers MVP standings

I havent dont MVP for Packers games since week two, but I figured Id go back over the past four games and name my MVPs and see where the team ranks through six games. here are the standings after two games.

Cobb: 1 point
Matthews: 1 point
Masthay: 0.5 points
Crosby: 0.5 points
Williams: 0.5 points
Kuhn: 0.5 points

The rules are only one point is awarded after a loss, after a win one point is awarded to the top MVP, then several half points may be awarded to other players.

Week 3 vs Seahawks: Most of the reason I didnt do MVP after the second game was because this game was such a dumpster fire it was nearly impossible for me to think of an MVP. I ended up narrowing it down between Finley and Hawk, choosing Hawk at the end of the day, mostly because the defense as a whole performed much better than the offense as a whole, plus Finley still had a couple drops. One point for AJ Hawk

Week 4 vs Saints: James Jones takes away a full point for this game. Two touchdown receptions, plus a crazy catch to ice the games. Rodgers finally makes an appearance in the MVP talk, but only with a half point. Cedric Benson also gets half a point, with his most productive game of the season to date.

Week 5 Vs Colts: This one was even tougher than the Seahawks game. No one played at a great level, but several played at a high level to be considered here. Unlike the Seahawks game where i easily narrowed it to two, I narrowed this one down to DJ Smith, James Jones, Clay Matthews, and even Tim Masthay. I was just about to give it to Masthay, but ended up giving it to Jones, for a second straight week too.

Week 6 Vs Texans: Finally, after six games, Rodgers takes home the MVP of the week honors for the team. For a third straight week, Jones gets on the board with a half a point this time. Jordy Nelson also gets a half point, along with Alex green, who had an effective game in his first try as a starter this year. On the defensive side Casey Hayward gets a half point for two picks, as well as Hawk with yet another solid game. Finally, tim Masthay gets a half point, with 3 punts inside the 20. It wasnt a stand out performance, but with his four inside the 20 last week, i figured the two games combined should earn him at least a half point. Clearly, this was the most complete game of the season, as evidenced by the long list of names.

Now, the standings through six games this season:
Randall Cobb: 1 point
Tim Masthay: 1 point
Clay Matthews: 1 point
Mason Crosby: 0.5 points
Tramon Williams: 0.5 points
John Kuhn: 0.5 points
AJ Hawk: 1.5 points
James Jones: 2.5 points
Aaron Rodgers: 1.5 points
Cedric Benson: 0.5 points
Jordy Nelson: 0.5 points
Alex Green: 0.5 points
Casey Hayward: 0.5 points

James Jones, Aaron Rodgers, and AJ Hawk lead the way so far this year. One of those names is not surprising, the other two very much are, but theyve both really deserved it, especially Jones. Hopefully they keep it up!
