Do you have a point or are you just slow?
Sure I have a point, stat-geek. Favre, at age 40, is a top 10 QB in the NFL, and probably should be the MVP of the league. That's the point.
Here's another point, you know the league wants Green Bay / Minny in the NFCC and they definitely want Favre back in the big game. Look for the Vikings to get all the calls.
They're called facts, Robby. You should try using the once in a while as they're a lot more reliable than just spouting off crap that doesn't make sense. For example, how do you rate Favre as only a
top 10 QB in the NFL, but think he should be the MVP of the league? Shouldn't an MVP candidate a little better than top ten at his position? Favre's had amazing year - best year of his career in fact. I just said he doesn't play well in December since there's obvious evidence to support it.
All that said, I think there are better MVP candidates this year:
#1 - Chris Johnson: 11 games with over 100 yards, 2500 total yards, double digit scores. He's easily the top RB in the league and getting it done with lowly V. Young at the helm. The only guy shouldering this much of the load for his team is...
#2 - Peyton Manning: Consistently proving that he is the top QB in the league. He's a threat to score from anywhere on the field and is arguably one of the smartest QBs in history. Indy clinched top seed early and might have gone undefeated if they hadn't benched Manning. We saw Indy without Manning the past few weeks and it was not pretty.
#3 - D. Brees threw for 34 TDs (+2 rushing) and almost 4400 yards and didn't even play the whole season. He is constantly overlooked, but I think he's just about on par with Manning at this point in terms of what he means to the Saints
#4 - I will get a major homer boo for this one and I know it won't happen, but I'll put up A. Rodgers in my top five. The Packers offensive line stunk for most of the year, Jennings was awful, and outside of the past few weeks, Ryan Grant has barely put up top 20 rushing numbers. Despite all that. Rodgers has 30 TDs (+ FIVE rushing!), threw for over 4400 yards and is tied with Favre for fewest interceptions among full year starters. And he's played to the bitter end in every game unlike the other top QB choices.
#5 - This is about where I would slot Favre. 33 TDs, 4200 yards, only 7 INTs - he has had a great season. My only push back on Favre is that he has tons of talent supporting him: Very solid offensive line, Shianco and his WRs made some outstanding catches, he's got one of the league's top RBs causing havoc for defenses, and the Vikings defense has been top notch most of the season. There is some magic to Favre, but I'm not convinced that the Vikes would be doing much worse with someone else in there.
