Updates Packers MVP standings

Last we checked, the Packers were six games into the season, since then theyve played three more so lets see what happened heading into the bye. All three games were wins, though none of them were overly impressive, but lets see who stepped up.

Week 7 Vs Rams: For the second straight week the full point goes to Aaron Rodgers with three touchdown passes, 30/37 passing and a 132.2 passer rating. The dagger to Cobb in the fourth quarter is probably the best offensive play of the season so far for the Pack. Half points go to Nelson and Cobb for eight receptions each on eight targets for Cobb, nine targets for Nelson. Two TDs for Cobb, one for Nelson, and a great 15.3 yard average completion for Nelson. On the defensive side, Casey Heyward gets a half point for a pick and just being a stud on defense the whole day. One more half point for Erik Walden, nine tackles, half sack, and two more QB hits.

Week 8 vs Jaguars: A rather uninspired performance for the Packers overall, no one really jumps out as an MVP. For the first time this year I think im giving away the MVP for simply one play, Davon House gets a full point for the blocked punt. Who knows where this game would have ended up without that play. James Jones gets a half point as well as Morgan Burnett who stepped up nicely in Woodsons absence.

Week 9 vs Cardinals: A better performance than the week before, but you could tell the Packers were playing like a team just looking to survive with a win and get to their bye week. Theres no really no doubt who the main MVP was in this one, Randall Cobb. 202 yards of offense, two TDs, nice kick returns, just a monster the whole game. Despite a really bad completion percentage Im giving Rodgers half a point for four TDs, but what sealed the deal was his recovered fumble, he dove in there hard and sacrificed himself to get that ball, rare for a QB. Heyward also gets another half point, continuing to be very impressive.

Standings through nine games
Erik Walden: 0.5 points
Morgan Burnett: 0.5 points
Davon House: 1 point
Randall Cobb: 2.5 points
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: 3 points
Aaron Rodgers: 3 points
Cedric Benson: 0.5 points
Jordy Nelson: 1 point
Alex Green: 0.5 points
Casey Heyward: 1.5 points

Overall five players have accumulated more than one point this year, and shockingly clay Matthews isnt one of them. Addmitedly, this way of doing team MVP isnt foolproof, no one is going to really say AJ Hawk has had a better year than Matthews, but he has more point here. This system does have Jones, Cobb, and Rodgers as the best players on the team so far this year and in that it is very right.
