the only problems I see with this would be that
a) a team that goes 10-6 and still makes the playoffs behind a player that has a pheonominal year, and loses in the first or even second round, they're not going to get as much credit for what they did
b) ever TEAM's goal is the superbowl, and only good TEAMS make it there, as we saw last week with the Seahawks, one player can contribute like crazy and a good team can still find a way to win.
c) it might be rare, but say a 10-6 team misses out on the playoffs and a guy rushes for about 1800 yards and 20 td's. is he not worthy of league MVP? for him to put up those numbers and a team to still not make the playoffs says to me the player is awesome and the team is not.

i know the arguement your making and its all good
but again I ask... how often has the leauge MVP not been on a playoff team?
I have no idea
Was Barry Sanders ever MVP? if so, were the Lions a PO that year?
I really never payed much attention to this award. This year was probably the most I've ever even thought about it.
