Predicting the NFL's Awards For the 2010-2011 Season

Ryan FryeSep 6, 2010

With the NFL Season just three days away, I figured there is no better time to predict all the awards for the 2010-2011 NFL season.

The Executive Of The Year Award

1 of 8
Tannenbaum, Rex Ryan and Woody Johnson
Tannenbaum, Rex Ryan and Woody Johnson

Winner: Jets GM Mike Tanenbaum

In 2006, he was hired as the Jets GM. 

In his first draft his first two picks were D'Brickashaw Feruson and Nick Mangold. Those two now anchor his offensive line.

His next year, he drafted Darelle Revis and David Harris. We all know how good Revis turned out to be.

In 2009, he hired Rex Ryan and drafted Mark Sanchez and Shonn Greene.

After aquring Antonio Cromartie, Nick Folk, Santonio Holmes, Brodney Pool and Jason Taylor this offseason, Tannenbaum finished builing his Super Bowl contending team.

Runner Up:

Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff

Coach Of The Year

Winner: Mike Singletary

When he took the 49ers over mid-way through 2008, the 49ers were a mess.

They had a losing record, a bust of a number one pick, and a bad defense.

The 49ers are now the favorites in the NFC West, Alex Smith has shown signs of a breakout season, and the defense has improved.

Runner Up:

Texans Coach Gary Kubiak

AFC Player Of The Year

3 of 8

Winner: Matt Schaub

Does anybody know who led the NFL in passing yards last season?

Peyton Manning? No.

Drew Brees? Wrong.

Maybe Phillip Rivers? Wrong again.

It was Matt Schaub.

I know that because he was my fantasy team! Schaub has Andre Johnson, a good offensive line, and a stingy defense, three things that will make life alot easier for him in 2010.

NFC Player Of The Year

Winner: Brian Orakpo

It would be too easy to pick my MVP winner, so I'll go with Brian Orakpo.

In his rookie year he had 11 sacks. He is now switching to a 3-4 defensive scheme, which he may fit into even better.

As a 3-4 linebacker and occasional pass rush defensive end, Orakpo should have an even better sophmore season.

Comeback Player Of The Year Award

5 of 8

Winner: Troy Polamalu

After an injury plagued 2009 season, Troy Polamalu will want to hit his opponents that much harder in 2010.

He's so good, Head and Shoulders insured his hair for one million dollars!

Runner Up:

Redskins Tight End Chris Cooley

Offensive Rookie Of The Year Award

6 of 8

Winner: Dez Bryant

If it wasn't for some character issues, Bryant would have been a top ten pick.

He's had a ton of hype, even making headlines when he refused to carry Roy Williams should pads.

In a year, Roy Williams will be the one carrying Bryant's shoulder pads.

Defensive Rookie Of The Year

7 of 8
DETROIT - AUGUST 28:  Ndamukong Suh #90 of the Detroit Lions tackles Jake Delhomme #17 of the Cleveland Browns during a preseason game on August 28, 2010 at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. Suh was called for a personal foul on the play for grabbing the f

Winner: Ndamukong Suh

The picture says it all!

Ndamukong Suh dominated the Big 12 championship game; some think it was the most dominate performance ever by a defensive lineman.

That was against Texas, a college football powerhouse. In the preseason Suh has shown he will not be bust.

Runner Up:

Chiefs Safety Eric Berry

MVP

GREEN BAY, WI - AUGUST 26: Aaron Rodgers #12 of the Green Bay Packers drops back to look for a receiver as teammate Daryn Colledge #73 looks to block against the Indianapolis Colts during a preseason game at Lambeau Field on August 26, 2010 in Green Bay,

Winner: Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers had his breakout season in 2009.

4,434 yards and 30 touchdowns with just seven interceptions.

He has one of the best arms in the NFL and I predict that he will be the best QB in the NFL in the near future.

Enjoy your first MVP of many Mr. Rodgers!
