You guys might remember we all of us here at SB Nation voted on our mid-season studs and duds. Well, we all got together again and chose our year end studs and duds as well. Below are the results of our voting. I was happy to see Drew get chosen as the best play on offense (barely). I look forward to hearing what you guys think. Where did we go wrong? What did we get right?
The Studs
NFL MVP (tie): Peyton Manning, Colts (35%) and Chad Pennington, Dolphins (35%)
Best Player on Offense: Drew Brees, Saints (33.3%)
Best Player on Defense: James Harrison, Steelers (41.7%)
Best Rookie: Matt Ryan, Falcons (78%)
Best Coach: Tony Sporano, Dolphins (44%)
The Newly Studly
Was Once a Dud, Now a Stud: Chad Pennington, Dolphins (50%)
The Duds
Mid-Season Worst Player: Braylon Edwards, Browns (40%)
Mid-Season Worst Rookie: Vernon Gholston, Jets (72%)
Mid-Season Worst Coach: Romeo Crennel, Browns (35%) and Rod Marinelli, Lions (35%)
Some notables from the voting:
- Mike Smith, head coach for the Falcons, was one vote away from tying Tony Sparano for Stud Coach of the Year.
- Vikings RB Adrian Peterson and Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams tied for second behind Drew Brees for Stud Offensive player.
- Matt Ryan, who won the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award unanimously, won our award with 18 votes. The second place candidate,Broncos LT Ryan Clady, received 2 votes.

lot of hostility on the blog today
M-E is lashing out also.
Frustrated Saints fans.
I hear you. But check out this little tidbit and then count your blessings, you big babies:
rotoworld.com:
During Tuesday’s press conference, new Lions president Tom Lewand remarked how the Falcons’ only high-priced acquisition in 2008 was “Michael Bennett” and commented on how the Steelers allowed “Greg Lloyd” to sign with Miami.
And we thought 0-16 was embarrassing. Lloyd is supposed to be Joey Porter in Lewand’s mind and “Michael Bennett,” of course, is Michael Turner. Good of owner William Clay Ford, Jr. to do his due diligence before promoting Lewand to team president. He’d better stay the heck out of personnel matters.

Lashing out?
Criticizing Roger Goodell and the stupid, pathetic, worthless leadership of the NFL doesn’t count as lashing out. Now get off my case before I bring up Lito Sheppard.
Gaaaaa!

Travesty
Steve Slaton is the ROY. Give him some credit. He was UNSTOPPABLE at times this year. Chris Johnson needs to stop whining and Matt Ryan needs to stop being overrated. Slaton should’ve won, and I don’t believe it is close.
