[QUOTE="GreenBlood, post: 418165, member: 1198"] What non-football reasons? Our pass defense is much better than theirs. We only give up 7 more yards per game than they do. But we also have 21 more interceptions than they do and we've defensed about 25 more passes than they have. They have run the ball 25 more times than we have, or 1.67 more rushes per game, or 0.41 more rushes per quarter (in other words, not enough to make a difference). Brees has thrown the ball 97 more times than Rodgers (mostly because his coaching staff wanted him to get Marino's record and they NEVER pulled him from a game). If you extrapolate Rodgers stats to match the attempts Brees has had, which is something most MVP voters do when comparing two players, Rodgers blows him out of the water. And yes, it is completely valid to do so because number of attempts is not something players generally have much control over. [/QUOTE]
