    Bell is Steelers MVP and should be considered league MVP.

    But, Roethlisberger is putting up numbers better than Tom, Drew, Phillip. Manning who blew gas against the Bills yesterday is showing signs of fatigue just like last year. Now, let's not discount Ben for league MVP should he have Three solid statistical games or even runner up MVP to Aaron which is still an achievement. Now Ben haters will still continue to say Ben is still average.

    Oh yeah Ben is elite!!

    Bell is good but my nod goes to Big Ben for MVP.

    this team goes as ben goes. if ben plays bad we don't win bottom line. that is what makes him the mvp. I think that is the very definition of mvp.

    But wait a minute............ I thought Todd Haley sucked according to many fans.

    Ben must be calling his own game. Yea, that must be it.:shrug:

    Running game opens up the passing game, so my nod goes to Bell.

    That pass to Bryant was a thing of beauty. I'm glad our average QB was able to make that lucky throw (I have spare sarcasm detectors to those who need one)

    Bell is putting himself in a position to set NFL records. He's also opening things up for the passing game. I don't see how anyone on our team can be considered more valuable than Bell.

    You can think Ben is neither average nor elite. I put him in the top tier of the franchise quarterback category but not yet elite. I think Ben has shown that he's capable of performing at an elite level at times. But in games against the Jets, Bucs, Browns, Jags, etc. Ben has shown that he can be average as well. I think it all levels out at top flite, franchise quarterback. I do believe that Ben can get to elite status with more consistency and another Super Bowl.

    Very sound logic.

    I'm still voting for Bell.

    AB is leading the league if I am not mistaken,
    and will soon break Hines Ward record for most receptions ever by a Steeler. How can he not
    be considered MVP for the second straight year? The other teams cannot cover him.Shows up/productive each and every week for 13 straight weeks. Bell should be a close second though.

    He didn't show up against the Jets with his 2 fumbles (just saying). Most impressive thing to me is Bell doesnt turn the ball over.

    MVP 1. Bell 2. Ben 3. Brown. Three games to go any one of those three can snag it....

    What I've noticed on here every time there's a man crush thread about Ben, he always sucks the following week, I put the blame on you guys for cursing him with these dumb man crush threads. He puts together 2 great games that blew up his stats and now he's the greatest lol.... the MVP is Bell there's no contest, without the running game there's no passing game

    I'm thankful that we have Bell, Ben and AB working together but I have to say it like this... Bell and AB couldn't do anything without Ben so Ben is the catalyst for their productivity and does set the pace for the team.

    Ben has had better years, but he also had better protection. You can't take away from Ben what he has done but Bell has been everything we needed him to be. I don't see where AB gets thrown into that mix.

    I get it... AB is about to tie Ward, but that isn't as big as the stuff that Ben and Bell have done.

    What does Ward and AB have in common? They were strong complements to good running backs.

    Bell could have any qb. hand him the ball and he still gets the yardage... MVP=Bell.

    could not agree with this less. running game does not work unless you have a qb that can hurt you in the passing game. if Brian Hoyer is the qb Bell isnt as good.

    Ben does not have the brain to be a truly elite QB.

    Does Peyton Manning refer to a play chart on his wrist?

    Ben's inconsistency derives from an inability to grok.

    Couldn't disagree more. AP was a beast when he didn't have a QB. Arian Foster is a beast despite not having a QB. In fact, Isiah Crowell has been a very good RB in Cleveland this year despite being a rookie and having Hoyer as QB.

    Bell is a stud RB with or without a good QB

    Going back in time Walter Payton had a nobody QB, same with Barry Sanders I don't think he had anybody special back there.

    In all honesty any of the three could be team MVP, while none will be considered for league MVP because of Aaron Rodger's and his crazy good season. I'd say 1. Bell, 2. Brown 3. Ben

    Pretty much this. I gotta give it to Bell because the guy is doing it all. He's as reliable as they come. He's putting games away too when we need him to. The guy doesn't fumble, he doesn't do stupid things on the field, he doesn't get banged up like most RB's despite the heavy use he's had. There's really not a bad thing to say about him. Brown is also a stud and it's hard to argue against him being team MVP. The only knock on Brown is that Bell has been so damn good. Ben is a close 3rd. The knock on him obviously is he's had one too many bad games this year and those games have really hurt the team. When he's on his game he's as good as anyone in the league, but he also has the ability to really struggle, sometimes for an entire game or even several games in a row. Bell and Brown have been more consistent IMO.
