Tom Brady - MVP

I’m going to make this very easy.   Despite all the manufactured, TV personality drama there is no discussion of who the NFL MVP should be. 

Some have said wait and see what happens over the next 2 games to decide, but I say that is bull-donkey…Horse Manure!

Reason 1: Tom Brady has been unstoppable in a prolific way never duplicated by any quarterback in the history of the NFL.  Yes, EVER.  I’m not going GOAT Flu on this one. I’m just right!  Most consecutive home wins of all time? Mr. Tom Brady.  All-Time record for 2TD no INT games?  Brady.  The record for most passes without an INT? Tommy Uggs.  Oh, and the Pats are 12-2 with the best record in the entire NFL.   Right then and there…game over

Reason 2:  The season is 16 games.   The award goes to the individual who has been most important to his team for the course of the entire season.  So far, Tom Brady has been THE MAN for the Pats. He makes the no-names around him seem prolific.  Danny Woodhead wasn’t good enough to make the Jets roster.  Brady makes him a potential Pro-Bowler. Deion Branch was all but dead in Seattle. Now he’s a top-20 wide receiver.  And who the heck was Benjarvis Green-Ellis?  Without Brady the Pats would barely have a shot against the Carolina Panthers.  

Then there is Vick.  He’s had a great season and I personally am glad to see him on the field doing what he used to do in ATL.  But, where would the Eagles be without Vick?  Well, look no further than Weeks 5 through 7.  With a nasty rib injury Vick was stuck on the sidelines.  Yet the Eagles still won, and won some big games too.  31-17 over the NFC leading Falcons!  No disrespect to Michael Vick, but if Brady went down this season (THIS SEASON I repeat to everyone yapping about Matt Cassel back in 2008) would the Patriots have beaten the Ravens, Steelers, or Jets?  Not so sure. 

Reason 3:  Schedule.  Let’s go NCAA March Madness on this one.  Signature wins.  Brady first:

Brady’s Signature Wins:

Jets, Baltimore, San Diego, Pittsburg, Indianapolis, Chicago, Green Bay…7 potential playoff team!

Vick’s Signature Wins:

Indianapolis and the NY Giants twice. 

I’m sorry but beating Detroit, Jacksonville, Washington, Houston or Dallas just doesn’t excite me.

Head to Head:

Keep this in mind.  Vick also lost to Green Bay and Chicago.  If you are looking head-to-head Vick can’t touch Brady.

Reason 4: Stats don’t lie!

Vick: 20 Passing TDs, 8 Rushing TDs.  2,755 passing yards.  613 Rushing Yards. 5 INTs

Brady: 31 Passing TDs, 1 Rushing TD. 3,561 passing yards. 17 Rushing yards. 4 INTs

Just incase you’re not paying attention:

Brady has more total TDs:  32 vs. 28  (31 vs. 20 passing TDs)

Brady has more total yards: 3,578 vs. 3368

Brady has fewer interceptions: 4 vs. 5

Brady’s Team has a far better record:  12-2 vs. 10-4

Brady has more wins:  12 wins vs. 8 wins

There should be no doubt remaining in your brain whether Tom Brady is the run-away MVP of the 2010 NFL season.  End of discussion
