get your facts straight, yes he led the league in int's but he brett favre'd it, also leading in touchdowns and yards, ~900 more than rodgers. he's the first in nfl history to go over 5000 yards 3 times in his career, and in back to back years. and who does he have to throw to? a 7th rounder out of hofstra, an undrafted free agent from toledo...the only one of note is a 3rd round tight end out of miami. now all are household names. when you break down the mvp, you're looking for the most vaulable player, the player of most value to the team. not just the best in terms of statistics, but the one who is more valuable to his team than any other player in the league. i think that's been lost in translation. when you look at that (and consider what matt flynn was able to do with that green bay offense last year, holy hell that was a game), it comes down to peyton manning and brees in my eyes. wouldnt mind manning, my grandpa's friends with archie.
