Posted in Tom Brady is set to pretty much break every single NFL record for Quarterbacks: 4,895 yards, 61 TD’s, and only seven INT’s. One would assume that puts him in a prime position to be named league MVP.. but.. not so fast. The true definition of MVP would be the Most Valuable Player, but is Brady even the MVP on his own team?… I guess it all goes back to a modified “Chicken or the Egg” argument. Would Tom Brady be the passing-efficient enigma he is if it weren’t for Randy Moss?.. Moss is on pace to have 106 catches, 1,683 yards, and 26 TD’s this season. Prior to Moss’s arrival on the New England scene, Tom Brady’s career high was 28, where Moss is on point to accomplish that himself. Is Brady’s success a result of experience or having a better target to throw to?.. So, I guess the argument is… Tom Brady is not single handedly the best player on his team, as his success can’t be directly attributed to himself.
So who should be MVP???… What single player in the NFL is responsible for the majority of his team’s success?…
My answer: Brett Favre.
The guy has got to be smiling all the way to Arizona at all of the nay-sayers that said he should have hung up his helmet years ago. His success in Green Bay can’t be attributed to his supporting cast or his offensive line, most of whom were probably in high school when he won his first MVP. Not to mention Green Bay’s success on offense certainly isn’t due to a particularly stellar running game. In fact, Green Bay is ranked dead last in rushing yards—make that a non existent running game. So you see, the Packers have put all their faith in the aging arm of their veteran quarterback. And it seems to be paying off. 22 TD’s, 3356 yards, and only eight INT???.. Sure, they aren’t Brady’s numbers, but he is throwing to a bunch of kids that were relatively unknowns until this season. There is some food for thought.
So maybe Brett’s numbers don’t match up to those of Brady and his bunch, but he and his Pack have figured out a way to consistently make something from nothing. And if that doesn’t merit a shot at MVP.. I dunno what does.

I pick Brett Favre for MVP because he’s not only exemplary on the field but off the field as well. Sorry, I can’t say the same for Tom Brady. He can own all the stats on the football field but off he hasn’t any. He messed up his image when he abandoned his ex-girlfriend while pregnant with his baby and flaunted the new one in her face. That’s why the baby was name Monahan! I’ll take Favre over Brady any day and hope he wins the Super Bowl.
Favre is worthy…..for that matter so is Brady. But we are all forgetting about the Bucs…..What about Jeff Garcia!!! What do you think Jen is Garcia worthy???
