re: MVP voting: Adam Schefter says...

I admit that "crap" is a bit strong. I do feel that AR is the only other consideration, but I feel Brees deserves it more. He has set records that earned all the the previous holders the MVP.
Rodgers has a higher QB rating, but the QBR rating is a much better stat. It accounts for among other things, interceptions that are not the QB's fault, such as bouncing off a receivers hands, or the receiver blowing the route. Rodgers QBR is 1 point above Drew, a practical draw. Rodgers advantage comes from running the ball. I am not knocking this as a skill...just pointing out a fact.
When you notice how Flynn was able to succeed in the offense, it makes a person wonder about Rodgers value. Look back on 2008 when Brady was out and the Patriots won 10 games. Now look at the Colts without Manning. Who do you think is more valuable?

This is a much better post, and I agree with you completely. The QBR number is a good stat that is not official yet, but it seems to be gaining some traction this year. That Rodgers is only 1 point higher than Brees is quite telling.
