What is the meaning of MVP?

By now everyone is aware Peyton Manning was named the NFL MVP for the fourth time in his NFL career, becoming the first player to ever achieve this.
Now granted, Manning and the Colts had a good season, but I have some issues with this.
Everyone remember the running back who set record after record this season for the Tennessee Titans and was the main reason the Titans finished the season 8-8, after an 0-6 start. Chris Johnson was only the sixth NFL player to ever rush for more than 2,000 yards in a single season. He set himself above everyone else by setting an NFL record for most yards for scrimmage in a single season. He rushed for more than 100 yards in 11 consecutive games, including a tie for an NFL record with six consecutive games with more than 125 yards.
Manning, what is it you did this year? He threw more interceptions than 26 other NFL starting quarterbacks, ranking himself with the likes of Matt Cassel and Josh Freeman.
Be proud of yourself.
Manning took the least amount of hits of any quarterback, but only achieved the sixth highest quarterback rating in the NFL.
No to mention Drew Brees tops all of Manning's stats, for the exception of total yards. His completion percentage and overall quarterback rating were both higher than Manning's. Brees threw fewer interceptions and more touchdowns all while being sacked more than him.
Now Manning did have a great year as far as yards and completion percentage goes, but I would say just about any quarterback could sit behind the Colts offensive line and have as good of a year as he did. Manning throws to the best tight ends in the NFL, Dallas Clark and Reggie Wayne is arguably one of the best receivers in the NFL. Quarterbacks would love to have his receivers.
Now I am not going to sit here and try to explain to you why I don't believe Manning should have one the MVP award. Oh wait I just did.
Here is my problem with the MVP award. It is no longer about the best player in the NFL, it's about the best player on the best team. It's called the Most Valuable Player because it's the person most valuable to the team. Sure Peyton is a great reason the Colts went 14-2 in the regular season, but with that offensive line and receiving core, most quarterbacks could have produced a good season.
Now please if anyone out there has the explanation for to me as to why Chris Johnson did not win the MVP, please enlighten me. Never mind, don't explain to me why he didn't win the MVP, but how he didn't get a single vote.
"I didn't even get one vote at all (for MVP)," Johnson said. "Like the season I had, it seemed like, 'What more do they want me to do?' That just felt like rookie of the year; it's a quarterback thing I guess."
Well at least Johnson realizes what the MVP award has become. It's all about the most recognizable player on the most recognizable team. The voters for the MVP should be ashamed of themselves for not even recognizing Johnson.
Fine so be it if Manning won the MVP, Johnson should have had some sort of recognition, even if it was a single vote. He was the only unanimous selection to the Associated Press team, but not good enough for one MVP vote.
Get it right Associated Press. Since the AP took control of all MVP voting in 2002 only two running backs have won the MVP award, Shawn Alexander and LaDainian Tomlinson. It's not the award for the best quarterback it's the player who has the most value to his team. Start voting that way.
