I know, those pesky %


When the frick did a QBs batting average become a fricking stat? I give a frick if it takes Brees 500 attempts a game. If your giving me one TD per 100 attempts, thats still five touchdowns a game.

Saying stupid stuff like if the Saints had two good TEs like New England does Graham wouldn't have the record is the equivalent of you throwing in the towel.


Harping on a technical error and completely missing the broader point is outright proof you know you have lost the argument.

Whoopee fricking do, I didn't hear Gronkowski passed Graham a few minutes after Graham set the record. Not knowing a record was broke a few hours ago is hardly saying stupid stuff.

it's been partially based on performance...to say it's not is asinine. I think we all agree that has something to do with it. That's why the numbers arguments aren't exactly befitting of what the history of the award has been, now does it? Have you happened to take a look at the last 5 to 10 years and the hx of the award winners and their respective seasons?

If you're going to argue, don't topple your argumentative ideals in one fell swoop.

Rodgers gives you a much better chance at getting that coveted TD. You deny that?

No, I got the point. The point you were making was that if Brees had two options at TE like Brady does then Graham wouldn't have had the record, which was wrong, and The greater point you were making was that Jimmy Graham breaking a receiving yards record has nothing to do with who was passing him the football, which was stupid.

Rodgers has 48 total TDs to Brees 47 and he did it less games and attempts.

$100,000 is more than $99,000. I'd gladly take the $99,000 over the $100,000 if it meant I got to work 1 less hour a day.

So you'd prefer a running back with 1200 yards on 400 Carries over a running back with 1175 yards on 200 Carries?

Yikes.

Bress threw more touchdown passes than Rodgers in the 2011 NFL Regular season. You deny that?

"plays of the top team" - team record has nothing to do with it you shithead. Its an MVP award not an MVT award.

"efficiency stats" they are both remarkably efficient. Drew has more completions, more yards, a better completion percentage. Rodgers leads in some categories as well.

wrong. Drew is more valuable. Flynn set some records for Green Bays Franchise today. No QB on the Saints roster other than Brees can run our offense much less set records. Drew is more valuable. Rodgers is a great quarterback, a suprebowl winner, and his team has a better record. however, Drew is the Most Valuable Player.

Another point just to consider about the "Rodgers played 1 less game" argument. Who's to say he wouldn't have turned the ball over 5 times today?

Is it likely? No, not really. But possible? Sure, we'll never know

Do you want the player A who accounted for 48 TDs or player B who accounted for 47 TDs?

A or B?
