How big a travesty is that Matt Ryan has a MVP award and Drew Brees doesn't?

It's a fricking big travesty I say if the greatest statistical NFL QB ever doesn't win a MVP award before he retires.

Travesty is a pretty strong word

Ryan deserves it this year. Brees should have got it in the 08 season, but shite happens. Congrats to matty ice on a great season

In theory, sure.

But Matt Ryan's season is better than any season Brees ever had, by a comfortable margin too, so there's that.

But Brees was jobbed entirely of the 1 MVP that went to Peyton Manning, most everyone knows that.

Brees has the unfortunate timing of being great when two media darlings (manning and Brady) were also doing great things. It's also unfortunate that Drew never had a supporting defense to help him win more championships.

Well...looking at his career stats you'd think he'd have at least one. He's got a good shot at passing Peyton Manning and becoming the all-time career passing leader in NFL history. That kind of cheapens Manning's 5 MVPs awards to be honest. Brees will more than likely pass him in career yardage without a single MVP trophy to show for it.

Ryan earned one and Brees didn't. How is that a travesty? Brees has had a better overall career, but MVP isn't a career achievement award. It's for the best player in a particular season. Ryan was that this year, and Brees never was.

Cam Newton has one too.

Not a big deal.

It's about as big of a travesty as it was last night when I didn't make it to Taco Bell by 3am and had to settle for jack in the box

Look it it what it is. Just because the NFL decided to give the award to their big name guy in 2009 for a statistically inferior season ,doesn't make Ryan any less deserving this year. I do think he got a bit lucky with Brady being out 4 games in terms of winning this award though because the same thing would've likely happened to him.

Has nothing to do with Ryan winning one, but that other people were selected over Drew when he was playing lights out.

I'm sure his SB ring keeps his mind off the meaningless MVP in comparison.

Sometimes you need a little luck. If Brady isn't suspended the 1st 4 games of the season he wins the MVP instead of Ryan.

Brees never got that luck.
