PrintNew York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz has been voted the NFL's Vizio Top Value Performer for the 2011 season. Of course he has.
What is the Top Value Performer award. Voted on by fans, it signifies the player whose on-field performance most exceeded the value of his 2011 contract. With a salary of $405,000, Cruz was an obvious choice for this honor as he recorded a franchise record 1,536 yards receiving and scored nine touchdowns. Cruz finished with the third-most receiving yards in the league, only behind Wes Welker and Calvin Johnson.
The 2011 honorable mention list includes Dallas WR Laurent Robinson, New England TE Rob Gronkowski, Chicago RB Matt Forte and San Francisco LB NaVorro Bowman.
More than 330,000 votes were cast this season, the fourth year that Vizio has sponsored this award.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Cruz will be making a whole lot more than $405,000 next season.

this is probably the award that a GM least likes his players to win heh
Go Giants!
Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
That's for sure!!

Yeah he's a good one...
I hope he plays..I want no excuses for the Patriots getting beat by us..

I want them all healthy to start the game...
Now their condition after the game is a whole other story
or during ;-)

Jacobs
Has anyone heard anything about Jacobs? Is he still pissed off at the world, I noticed he left the locker room during the celebration last week! All in or stay home!!

I don't know..all I do know is he didn't do his job last week..
If your going to talk…you better walk it…Maybe it will motivate him that he was sidelined..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
i was actually confused by this
i thought he ran pretty well, but didnt get a lot of chances. & thats probably cause we threw so many times. KG pretty much said “F the run, we’re just gonna throw till Eli’s arm falls off.”

Could be...but I doubt it

Actually alliteration is
several successive syllables sound the same
It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
I do that alliteration jazz when I'm drunk...Everything I say sounds the same..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
How much of a bump in pay is Cruz likely to get?
What’s the max Reese could offer to a 3rd year player?
I think he'll wind up with 45 million...that been the general opinion...But he won't get it until October
I think…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Yeah i wouldnt bet much on Cruz making more than that 400K
Especially with Reese at the helm. I mean I love the guys draft and scouting eye as well as getting a quality FA where needed no necessarily a superstar. But he’s going to milk Cruz for the next two yrs until he becomes an URFA then and only then will he give him an extension barring no serious injury!

not necessarily true
He might take his chances & pay him now, instead of having to dish twice as much when he outplays himself for the next 2 seasons. isnt that what he did with CWeb & Osi (the 1st times)?

Good point..that's what I think...
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Based on Reese's history
with the teams top young players, if he targets Cruz as a part of the solution so to speak, Reese will extend him for a deal this offseason that will look like a steal for the team in three years.
The truth. The REAL voice of reason
I'm soooo frigging bored...I can't stand it..
I even did something I rarely ever do..I’ve posted on that BGN thing..just to kill some time..All nice stuff..nothing derogatory..But they still kick your ass..being nice I guess means nothing over there…hahaha
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
There was a vote..alot us voted for him...
I’m not sure what the award or how highly revered it is…but he won it…

Sorry I missed out on the voting.
Cruz getting a lot of attention, just hope he stays grounded and don’t let it get to his head cause next thing you know we end up with a prima donna
he's already had so much attnetion this year.
Only time will tell but based on everything we’ve heard about him, he has a great head on his shoulders
In Reese We Trust
He is no diva
I got a GIF for that!

this kid is very well grounded
u can just see the way he talks after such a big season & now playing in the SB. & He’s got a great work ethic. 1 of the few guys that was at EVERY SINGLE practice Eli held at Hoboken High. It did help that he lives so close but he was there nonetheless.

Also top fantasy pick-up off the waiver wire
non drafted, out of nowhere, all-pro wideout. Giants seem set at that position for many seasons.
Cruz is most definitely the best value and top performer!!!!
I’m so glad that he won this award I heard it on the radio a couple of weeks ago and wanted everyone on BBV to vote for him. Looks like it worked. He will need to be signed a better offer during this offseason, just to keep him locked up!!!!
