re: ...why...

1) The Colts had a better record. When voters were casting their ballots, the Saints were on a three game slide and finished a game behind the Colts.

2) Many uneducated voters feel that Sean Peyton is so good that his system provides a large portion of Brees's statistical outpouring. On the flip side, Manning was dealing with a rookie head coach and, for all intents and purposes, was the quarterback AND offensive coordinator.

This is the best answer right here. I can understand it from this point of view.

But just 109.6 to 99.9 is a big difference (rounded up 110 to 100 or 109 to 100.)


(And of course Drew Brees doesn't care.)
