So, how is Rogers even in the mix? seeing that finely just kicked his but as a 2nd QB, apparently the talent is so good in GB anyone can QB. If its about stats, why didn't Brees win both years ? Unfortunately that brings Brady into the mix. If your really looking for MVP, he is working with way less than GB or NO. YAC and the RB Saints 158 completions to RBs for 1199 YAC....(4 RBs in top 300 YAC) GB 73 completions to RBs for 598 YAC....(4 RBs in top 300 YAC) Pats 34 completions to RBs for 248 YAC.......( above ) Total YAC for each team (using top 300 YAC players) Pats....2387 YAC NO.....2299 YAC GB.....1889 YAC NO is more a short game team....2 RBs in top 15 YAC Pats are so top heavy (4) in their weapons (2088 )YAC)...3 stars Rodgers receivers has less YAC stars.....4 in the #23-#59 range Saints are a amazing short field team, and based on 8 yards. Our QB's 1st responsibility when passing is to make 8, if another opportunity opens up he will bomb it down field. At least in SP mind, if you don't have a short pass/run game, you can be stopped. Isn't it more applicable to figure out who is the best game manager? YAC is interesting, but not understanding how a QB that throws 2 40 yard passes, and ends with a field goal, is better than a QB that short passes, screens, and places the ball perfectly for 15 plays, and gets a touchdown. I would pick the second one. Rogers is a bomb machine Plus throwing bombs relies heavily on receiver talent. Any of the 3 QB's in question can chuck it up to Megatron. Thats not talent, its just distance. And what happens when you cover that option ? Suddenly, and maybe what happen with KC and GB, your forced to find your short game, and beat a #1 defense, like ravens, by reading its weaknesses and carving it up, but your not good at it. So, GB lost. Brees is the best manager in the game, but Brady doesn't have near the weapons we or GB has. So who is MVP |
Saints proved that pigs could fly in 2009.
Now its time for another miracle SuperBowl and go where no pig has gone before. Last edited by pherein; 01-03-2012 at 11:00 PM.. |

I think Matt Flynn just proved who the real MVP is.

This is also probably why Brees' completion % is higher than Rodgers' even though Brees threw many more passes than Rodgers.
I thought the point about reliance on receiver talent, in terms of the MVP award, was also right on target. But, what occurs to me about the MVP award, is that we don't know what criteria they are using to make the award, so, to me, it is almost impossible to make the right argument. I think, like you said, about Peyton Love versus Brees stats in 2008 and 2009, it just seems very subjective to me. |

Brees MVP, no doubt.
No argument, just give it to him! (And Flynn's performance absolutely SHOULD hurt Rodgers chances, not that he should win it anyway!) Hell, I'd give it to Peyton Manning before Rodgers. |

Who is the Most Valuable or the most Popular? If it's the MPP then give it to Rogers. But if it's the MVP, then give it to Brees.
Don't think so? Check the salaries at the beginning of next season, regardless of what happens the rest of the way. |

So here's a question, if they aren't going to announce the MVP until the week of the SB, am I to assume that is when it will be voted?
If so, how awesome would it be for Drew to outshine Rodgers in the conference game? I'd say his chances would go way up. |

Personally I couldn't care less about who wins the NFL MVP. |
