Chris Johnson - the case for MVP

The Tennessee Titans have a player that is unlike anything NFL defenses have seen in a long time. Chris Johnson is an incredible athlete, having an incredible season. The Titans are currently 6-7 which is the exact reason Johnson deserves the award. Does anyone else mean more to their team than Chris Johnson? What would the Titans be without him? You could say the same for Payton Manning or Drew Brees but there is a vast difference. Those teams would be somewhat contenders without those two guys. I AM NOT saying that Jim Sorgi could lead the Colts to super bowl (which I suspect Manning will do this year) but I do think that both these quarterbacks have an artillery of weapons that surpasses that of any NFL team. As for the Titans, they have weapons in the shop, being slowly put togehter, but Chris Johnson is a nuclear bomb. Week after week the 5'11 running back runs through, over and under defenses with ease. It is nearly impossible to measure his (Johnson) value to the team. Is that not what the award is based off of? Shouldn't it go to the player who is most VALUABLE to their respective team? The one they cant live without? Based on their undefeated record, I think the Saints and Colts could surive without their QBs I say again,they would be nowhere near the calliber they are, but Chris Johnson is the Titans most valuable player hands down. They could not live without him, and when a player is that valuable don't they deserve the most VALUABLE player award?
