Only when you do that are you comparing apples to apples and when you do that, Rodgers destroys Brees. You can try that with Orton too, but his numbers will remain abysmal. The only efficiency stat that Brees has over Rodgers is completion %, by a little over 2 points. Every single other measure of efficiency (tds/attempt, td:int, int/attempt) is overwhelmingly in Rodgers' favor.  That's just the fact of the matter.  Sure, you can say this is a dumb argument and either team would be happy to have either QB, but that's not what is being debated here.  The MVP voters have to make a decision and after all factors are considered, I think they will overwhelmingly vote for Rodgers based on the stats and wins. It's also not going to hurt Rodgers if he sits this week.  They won't penalize him for taking care of business early enough to not be needed in Week 17.</blockquote>
