That’s a media award.

Lead league in yards

Brees 7x
Manning 3x
Brady 3x
Rogers 0x

Lead league in TDs

Brees 4x
Manning 4x
Brady 4x
Rodgers 2x

Lead League in Completion %

Brees 6x
Manning 2x
Brady 1x
Rodgers 1x

I guess Being the best in the league isn’t as important as playing in GB

Easy to lead the league in counting stats when you throw an extra 100-150 garbage time passes each year.

Do QB rating. Or All Pros.

Teach exactly.

So your argument would be that Brees is GOAT level but doesn’t have an MVP simply because he didn’t get media hype?

Yes, most players who are GOAT status never win MVPs in their respective sports because the media doesn’t like to hype them up.

I can’t think of a single player in any sport that would be even arguable to call the GOAT, without an individual award naming said player the best in that particular season. No one outside of New Orleans has ever said “Brees is the best player in football right now” and Saints fans want to put him in GOAT territory
