[QUOTE="neilfii, post: 420924, member: 3821"] This is just an observation and I may be completely wrong, and I don't want to put words in people's mouths, but it seems as though this year Rodgers is in the position that Brees has been in for a number of recent years -- statistically better than the one who was ultimately chosen as the MVP and yet coming up short ([I]e.g.[/I] better stats than Manning/Brady, but Manning/Brady edges Brees out for the award because of their on field performance). Now that the shoe is on the other foot (Brees doesn't have the better stats,but still has excelled in his performance), logic dictates (to the mind of the Saints fans) that as Manning/Brady previously won in spite of Brees better statistical performance consistency demands that he now win it. I add this disclaimer -- this analysis is based upon posts I have read here and elsewhere where Saints fans (who in the past argued that stats -- like QB rating, TD's, Int%, -- should be determinative (because Brees' were better) now argue those stats are not (because Rodgers' are better). It's like, for years those did not matter so Brees loses and now that his on field performance is comparable to that of Manning/Brady when he was passed over those stats are all of a sudden most important. I think I would probably feel the same way (jilted, ripped-off, etc.) if I were a Saints/Brees fan. Let the flaming begin. :unsure: [/QUOTE]
