[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 417945, member: 1429"] Great post man! First of all, sporstnation is composed of mostly morons. Just look at the format of the show and the hosts. It's an all-presentation, no-content parody of a sports show. What's good a bunch of baseball, basketball and college fans voting about football? They only know what freaking ESPN tells them. As for the numbers, quite frankly, the only reason Brees surpasses Rodgers in any stats is due to scheme, because his scheme calls for A LOT more passing and A LOT more short passing. That's why the completion percentage is bigger and the YPA is much lower. Projecting Rodgers' numbers with the number of attempts Brees has, it's nowhere near close. Here are Rodgers' projected numbers, if he had the same number of attempts as Brees has: [B]424 completions, for 5,735 yards, 57 TDs, 7 INTs[/B] Of course, one could argue that, with 120 more attempts Rodgers' TD ratio, INT ratio and Y/C could be diluted, but projecting those numbers gives a very good parameter to judge how both seasons compare. Brees, in any other year, would be MVP of the league, no doubt. But, this year, it's not close, and if Rodgers isn't unanimously voted MVP, it's a travesty. [/QUOTE]
