Who's your offensive MVP?
Elflein, then Reiff.
Seriously. Reiff changed the attitude in that room. Elflein makes such a difference on the protections. Last year many were lauding Berger because PFF ranked him best run blocking center. But he really struggled at Center.
The OL. And they don't accept individual honors, so you have to give it to all of them. :p
I thought the season was a total loss after Bradford got hurt. We'd be so screwed without a QB.
Case is my pick.
I think it's either Elflein or Reiff. I'm not sure I could pick one over the other, because we haven't see a lot of them missing at different times. Thielen is a stud, but we've got a lot of receiving threats that I believe would rise to the occassion over the course of a season. Case is playing great football, but I think a lot of QBs would play good enough football in his position. Kudos to Rick for picking him up though. I don't think he would have did it a couple years ago.
Case followed by the OL, especially Reiff & Elfein with an honorable mention to Adam.
Case followed by Reiff in my estimation. Fans forgot how Keenums mobility and pocket presence has saved plays many times over this season.
It's a tie between Case and the OL. Both have had a huge impact on the success of the team.
Case and Elflein. We would have been more screwed without Case, but we saw that Hill could have filled in at LT in a pinch. Easton at Center was a bit of a train wreck. Elflein is not the most stout Center, but takes great angles, plays with great leverage, knows his and others assignments, and is deceptively athletic getting down field for key second level blocks.
I'm going to go with 1. Case, 2. Elflein and 3. Entire OLine. Look at what happened against Carolina without half our regular OLine.
It's gotta be Keenum.
Back-up QB, signed for $2m, who was a league after-thought. Played so well that he kept the job, even when our 2015 starter was ready to play. And he led us to a division win.
Not only is he the Offensive MVP, he's a goddamn Disney movie.

Can I name Shurmur, he’s finally moved the offense from the stone age, Imo.
Case and it's not close. If there was one person on this team we couldn't have afforded to lose this year, it was Case. He saved our season, plain and simple. For as much shit as the OL got last year, all of this years guys deserve a freezer full of Prime Rib. Get on it Case :)
Case Keenum as been spectacular, but most VALUABLE player? Meaning most indespensible? That wouldn't be Case Keenum. It's very likely this team would be doing just as well with a healthy Sam or Teddy at the helm. If it doesn't have to be a player, it's Pat Shurmur. If it does, then it's Patty the fat Elf, rollowed rosely by Riley the Reiff.

The feel good story of the year, "Making a Case" staring Dennis Quade as Case Keenum, Anthony Hopkins as Mike Zimmer, and Jeff Daniels as Pat Shurmur. Special CGI generated appearance of Burgess Meridith as Jerry Burns.
The O-line/Elflein/Reiff...Elflein is a hell of a smart kid and so athletic. He's clearly, clearly the guy that is missed most when absent (see Carolina game as perfect illustration). But, having a legitimate NFL O-line for the first time since, probably, the late 90s has been the most amazing thing. I mean c'mon, the O-line has been crap for over a decade! These guys ARE helped by Keenum's mobility I agree but you cannot discount how far they've come. It's a damn miracle.
