Very good point. Anyone throwing this many times for this many yards is going to be in the mid-to-low 60s percentile. When you account for drops (usually 1-3 a game) and balls intentionally thrown away when receivers are covered (usually 3-5 times a game) 72% is stunning. It's the most undervalued record Brees owns.

The Saints only won one super bowl with the greatest QB of all-time. I know it sounds nit-picky, but the saints really could have and should have a dynasty with Drew Brees as their QB.

The MVP criteria just seemed to change yearly to what fit Peyton Manning the best.
