You guys are missing a huge point when you talk about Reed having no case for MVP. You admit that tFlacco does not deserve rookie of the year because it's the Baltimore D that dominates. So you admit that without the strong D Baltimore would be nowhere. What you also fail to notice is that most of his interceptions came when the Ravens were holding onto a slim lead and the opponent was driving. He seriously dominated every game the 2nd half of the year. Not one other player on the field in any of those games meant as much to the outcome as Reed. Without his performance, in a Hall of Fame career you MUST admit, Baltimore would not be in the playoffs let alone this close to the Super Bowl. You're right that Flacco does not deserve rookie of the year because he really just has to manage the game, not make mistakes, etc. Sound familiar Trent Dilfer? But he brings a lot of promise in that few rookies bring those traits to the table. But having watched every Raven game, I can tell you first hand that Reed was the most valuable player in getting the Ravens into the playoffs. Is that MVP of the league I won't say. But deserves consideration because of his impact in each game.
