LT is playing out of his mind right now....but i bet if you asked him who the team MVP is, he'd endorse the oline. Look at how crappy his oline was last year in SD....and how ineffective he was behind it. LT is a good choice....but i'm sticking with the reason why he's doing well....and that's the hogs blocking for him.
I seriously considered Tomlinson, who has been superb, but this team is winning mostly because of the improved play of Sanchez. IMHO.
I voted for LT, because it isn't close, but I think Braylon Edwards has earned some votes in this poll. I don't think we would've had any passing game at all up to this point if not for Edwards. Keller's impressive, but he can't dictate coverages the way Edwards can. Edwards is a terrific deep threat, and his ability to make circus catches in traffic is a nice compliment to Sanchez's tendency to look for big plays. With Holmes back, it seems likely Edwards' involvement in the offense will shrink, but I don't think he's going to get crowded off the team by Holmes the way we all assumed he would after Holmes became a Jet. Neither of these guys is producing like a top five talent at the position, so I don't think either will need to be paid that way. This could be a very nice pair of starting wideouts for the foreseeable future, and they cost us, between them, a third round pick, two fifth rounders, Chancey Stuckey and Jason Trusnik. I'm really looking forward to seeing what this group can put together for a passing attack over the rest of the year.
Although LT is the obvious answer I would say Crom. Think about it, if we didn't have LT, our offense would still be good. It wouldn't be where it's at but we would still be above average and scoring good points. Without Crom our secondary (especially with the Revis situation) would be depleted and get picked apart every game. Because of him we have stayed in the lead late in games and he isn't given enough respect.
We have an embarrassment of riches, as there are more than a few players deserving of consideration, but it has to be L.T.
heh - does anyone have an account at a chargers forum to direct them to this thread? I would PM MBGreen but I know he's not tall enough to register there.
Its gotta be sanchez. His game management/decision making has kept us in games. No picks through 5 was big too
