I think it's a fan vote this year, so I am guessing it goes to Big Ben or Rodgers.

Kind of an uninspired 2 minute drill...

Love the end result though

To further my point. vs Seattle Ben was 9 for 21 with 2 picks. Yeah, sounds like a super bowl hero to me. Against the Cardinals he was a little better, hitting 21 for 30 and getting a touchdown to match a pick... but only 250 yards. Another game won by the defence, and while Big Ben did throw the winning touchdown if you put any other serviceable QB on that team and they could have won with that defence

Serious? How they leave an award that important to the fans is beyond me.

Yep that last minute drive and throw to Holmes against Arizona was all game manager. Nothing Championship like in that game at all.

What a ball game. Great day to be a Packers fan!

Turnovers were the difference in the game.

Great to see Aaron Rodgers win a Superbowl!

Ben's lucky the refs gave him a huge assist in SB 40, and can thank Holmes great last minute catch for SB 43.

Could easily be talking about the Steelers as the modern era Buffalo Bills and Big Ben as the modern era, slightly more troubled, Jim Kelly.

As for the Big Ben debate, how many QB's have won 2+ Superbowls while never winning Superbowl MVP?

Not a knock on Ben, just a legitimate question.

I preferred his 2 picks and 9 completions when they beat Seattle.

With the offence being so terrible under Ben, they would have lost both games if not for their D. Don't confuse the defense giving Ben chance after chance after chance after chance to finally do something right on offence once in a while, with him being an all time great

I prefer the way he consistently broke tackles, kept plays alive and made the big plays when needed. Something Dilfer couldn't do on his best day.

I like that the players are treating the Lombardi trophy with reverence. Some how, tho, it seems a little less special knowing there's so many. It's what makes the Grey Cup and Stanley Cup so amazing imo.

sigh. Yeah, he made big plays when needed. In ONE of those super bowls. After the defense kept giving him the ball back time after time. After time. After time.

Goodell looks like he's trying to wrestle the mic away from TB.

Hardly whining when the referee came out and admitted he blew a couple calls earlier this year.

Regarded as the poorest officiated Superbowl in recent memory by anyone who watches football semi-regularly.
