Packer fan thoughts

Based on Flynn's performance, Rodgers clearly is not the MVP. Packers are still dominant without him.
My vote would be for Drew Brees.

Well then, you don't get a vote, Peter.

Not sure why having a capable back-up would make any difference.

Don't misunderstand my post. Rodgers is the best QB in the game today. But having a capable back-up and quality team around him is exactly why he is not the most valuable player, IMO.

Take Drew Brees out of the NO lineup, and they are just another good team. He is far more valuable.

One thing we absolutely agree on. I don't get a vote.

I agree with Brees value to his team (and the league, for that matter).
This will be an interesting choice this year. I don't think you can argue if either wins.

Either player is deserving. You could even toss Brady in the mix considering how bad the Patriots defense is.

The voting will be interesting.

I can see your point in that Rogers has an equal backup. Who is the backup for New Orleans should Brees go down for the count?

Chase Daniel I believe.

Based on that line of thinking, we should retroactively take away Tom Brady's 2007 MVP award and give it to Peyton Manning.

I wonder who had the other vote.
48-2 for your NFL MVP, Aaron Rodgers.

Touché, Tim. I pretty well thought he WOULD win it. I just have different criteria than those whose votes matter.

Sorry, Peter. I couldn't resist.

I'd like to add that this friend of mine (can't say who) also told me that he expects the NFL to announce an apology to the Giants regarding the poor (a.k.a. skewed) officiating. He also expects (was told) the apology to be made public information. So if I know that, I'm not yanking your stogie brother.

Am I the only one who missed this "public apology"?
