That is the logic of sportswriters...

Look how the BBWAA refuses to retract their NL MVP award of Ryan Braun who is currently appealing a suspension for being juiced...

Actually, if you examine how the Colts collapsed without Peyton Manning, that validates his MVP awards...

Yes, I completely agree with you on that.

It was Drew's higher turnover count and not converting that fourth and goal in Green Bay that decided it...

Which it shouldn't have if you consider the true "spirit" of the award.

But two (2) votes is a major headscratcher...

I mean I'm not completely sold on the fact that either one (Rodgers or Brees) was truely the leagues MVP - I'd have to give it some more thought to come up with a better candidate, but if you consider - in relative terms - who was the most valuable player to their particular team, it might not be either of those two.

If Brees isn't the quarterback, you really think any other player could offset that AWFUL defensive effort this season...

Am a Saints fan...

Am a Brees fan...

Am an honest enough critic though of both to say their not getting it done if that's the case...

The Saints results coupled with that last Sunday when Matt Flynn went off made a very sound, convincing argument that Brees was the Most Valuable Player to his team...

Besides, who has a better Pre-Game Ritual of getting his teammates pumped up?

Of all the great qualities of Brees the one they didn't seem to take into consideration was his most important talent. His leadership.
