Rodgers or Brees for MVP and why?

I still don't think this is a legitimate question. If Rodgers doesn't win the MVP it'll be straight up robbery and a failure of the voters to recognize anything other than the glitter of Brees's yardage record. At any rate Rodgers is most likely going to be holding his own record at the season's end with the highest quarterback rating over a season in league history.

Drew Brees is an elite, HOF, and legendary quarterback. However even with his spectacular and personal best season ever he still hasn't performed at the level of Aaron Rodgers. Brees has a 41-13 TD:Int ratio, but that's not near the efficiency of Aaron's 45-6 TD:Int ratio. This is due to Drew Brees's ineffectiveness in the red zone, a career trend that didn't disappear until late this season. When it comes down to the final 20 yards Brees has a knack for committing a turnover or even just a failure to force the ball into the endzone. Relevant to all NFL quarterback Brees is amazing in this category, but on an elite scale he is lacking.

Aaron Rodgers has also had more drops from his receivers (mainly Finley, Cobb, and Driver) than just about any quarterback in the league. When I watch Brees throw an incompletion towards Graham the majority of the time it is the result of a poorly thrown ball on a wide open opportunity. On the contrary, Rodgers has floated many many perfect spirals towards Finley that have been inexcusably dropped. In fact, in a game against Minnesota Rodgers was not responsible for a single one of his 8 incompletions. 2 were obvious throwaways that saved a sack, one was a spike, and the rest were dropped. Rodgers was perfect literally every throw that game, but the imperfection of those around him resulted in a deceptively low completion percentage of 80%.

Drew Brees also just doesn't have the mobility that Aaron Rodgers or the arm strength. Brees has such a high completion percentage because he dinks and dunks down the field on short screens to his running backs. While Brees has gone to a RB on 30% of his throws, Rodgers has only done so on 17%. This gives Brees an unimpressive 8.2 yards per attempts and Aaron an otherworldly 9.8 yards per attempt. Rodgers has by far the most accurate long bomb in the league completing 65% of all passes over 20 yards; far ahead of Brees and almost 10% ahead of #2 Tom Brady. He also has the pure arm strength to throw a deep pass on the run with little to no rotation of the body. Brees is incapable of such a pass.

Drew's stats are also the result of a very weather friendly schedule. 11 out of 16 of Drew Brees's games were played inside a dome. The 5 that weren't were in Carolina, Tennessee (the only game below 65 degrees), Tampa Bay, Atlanta, and a pleasantly warm season opener in Green Bay. He has never had to deal with brutal weather such as what Rodgers or Brady have struggled against. The type of winter cold Lambeau weather Rodgers threw for 5 TD's in this past week.

To punctuate this response it should also be noted that Brees has thrown 120 more attempts than Rodgers. Had Rodgers have thrown for that many more attempts his volume stat totals would be threw the roof right now. Rodgers would have 5700 yards and at least 56 touchdowns.

Rodgers! Thrown half as many INTS, more TD's, better passer rating, and also more clutch in the redzone with only 1 int in his whole career in the redzone. Brees may have the passing yards record but he has thrown 120 more passes than Rodgers, in fact Rodgers actually has a higher yards per pass average. So at that rate, if they both threw the same amount of passes, Rodgers would have more yards! Also Rodgers record: 13-1. Rodgers will get robbed if he dosen't get it.

Drew Brees because of the passing record.

Rodgers, yes brees has all the stats but look what rodgers did. He put his team on a 13 win streak and he led them.

Rodgers. He's been absolutely exceptional this year.

To the people who say saints would be nothing without brees. What would patriots be without Brady. Atleast saints have a defense...

for this season Rodgers. For overall Brees.

Drew brees becouse the passing record

Drew Brees. Without him the Saints would be nothing.
