PrintWe recently had our vote at SB Nation for the NFL Studs and Duds of the 2009 regular season. Head on over to check out some blogger quotes, but here are your winners:
STUDS
Regular Season Mega Stud (aka, MVP): Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
Regular Season NFL Offensive Stud (aka, Best Player on Offense): Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans
Regular Season NFL Defensive Stud (aka, Best Player on Defense): Charles Woodson, Green Bay Packers
Regular Season NFL Stud Newcomer (aka, NFL’s Best Rookie Player): Brian Cushing, Houston Texans
Regular Season Stud Coach (aka, Best NFL Coach): Tie between Marvin Lewis, Cincinnati Bengals and Norv Turner, San Diego Chargers
DUDS
Regular Season Mega Dud (aka, This guy is really, REALLY awful): JaMarcus Russell, Oakland Raiders
Regular Season Dud Newcomer (aka, Biggest waste of a perfectly good draft pick): Darrius Heyward-Bey, Oakland Raiders
Regular Season Dud Coach (aka, Your team lost to the Lions): Jim Zorn, Washington Redskins
In looking over the awards, I voted for the eventual winner in 5 of the 8 awards (MVP, rookie, best coach (Marv Lewis), worst player, worst rookie). I went with Peyton Manning for Offensive Stud, Patrick Willis for Defensive Stud, and I think I voted for Raheem Morris as worst coach. I think the Morris pick was more that he just seemed in way over his head a lot of the time. I feel that Jim Zorn's Redskins had a fairly awful run of luck this season. Zorn is a tough one to figure out.
Offensively, I remain convinced that Peyton Manning should be the offensive stud, but am not exactly shocked (or angry) that it went to Chris Johnson. 2,000+ yards for a less than stellar Titans team is quite an achievement. I voted for Manning because of how the guy runs that offense and basically acts as a co-offensive coordinator out on the field. Maybe that should go more towards the MVP award, but I think his production with an influx of inexperienced wide receivers deserves some credit.

defensive stud
yeah, i would vote for PW also,but it’s almost a gimme for woodson with the year he’s had so far.
If you looked up the definition of "helpless" in the dictionary
You’d likely see the Raiders logo next to it. They’re obligated to so much money and all they can do is let these guys get paid to fail.
BoooOOOOoooOoooo
Peyton Manning
Tim Tebow = 1,432,219 season tickets next year. Who wouldn't pick him in the 1st round with those projections?
No shock...
That the 2 worst players on this list are both on the Raiders. God they are awful in so many ways.
Also I would be surprised if Manning got the MVP.
More looking like Brees or even more deserving is Rivers.
The Raiders will never again be even remotely close to being competitive again until Al Davis gives up his control over the franchise, or dies….and I think we all know which one of those will happen first.

If I were a Raiders fan I’d have an Al Davis voodoo doll and repeatedly stick a needle in the crotch. Hey, that sounds like a great marketing idea! What disgruntled semi-logical raiders fan (although there aren’t many) wouldn’t love to have his own little Al Davis to take there frustrations out on! $14.99 sounds just about right….hmmmmmmmmmmmm
