It does because if the numbers were reversed and Peyton had season B and Brees had season A, who would the media have given MVP to then? It's not a hard answer lol.
Manning's name value and golden boy aura gave him the award that year. It's apples and oranges when you really crunch their numbers that season I know. But it's obvious the media went with their golden boy QB when if it boils down to stats that close, you simply should go with the one who was better, no matter how little his "better" was than the other person.
But Peyton is Peyton so they were like " , we gotta give our future GOAT Peyton his 3rd MVP !"
Bill Simmons (I guess as a Pats fan you can say he was biased) was the only one calling out the media for this too.
nah fam. Don't try to rewrite shyt. Peyton never had a defenses or a good coach after dungy. Still has more MVPs and ringd and appearances. Yall niggsz be disrespecting the G.O.A.T
Indy went 14-2 that year, they did not go 13-3. Indy started 14-0 that year with Manning. They lost game #15 vs the Jets because they pulled Peyton. They lost game #16 because they sat Peyton.
Indy had a real chance to go undefeated that year until Polian/Dungy pussed out on us.
There is no shock that Peyton won that year, since the MVP award is always heavily based on team record. Indy had the better record even though they threw 2 games.
Manning: 9380 Career pass attempts. Brees: 9423 Career pass attempts. Favre 10169 Career pass attempts.
Brees has already thrown more passes than Peyton. I was more impressed when Manning broke Favre's record because he did it in less attempts. Brees will also beat Favre, but can't touch Manning.
The Big 4 QBs defenses ranked 1-32 according to points per drive surrendered since 2001 not counting 2011 for Peyton or 2008 for Brady
Brady: 9
Peyton: 17
Rodgers: 16
Brees: 22
Drew Brees' defense in 2003, 2012, 2014, 2015, and 2016 were all 31st or 32nd ranked in the NFL in Defensive Points Per Drive.
As of week 1 2017 Brady's had a top 10 defense 10 times in 15 seasons, Peyton had a top 10 defense 4 times in 17 seasons, and even Rodgers has had a top ppd defense 3 times in 9 seasons
Brees has had a top 10 points per drive defense ONCE in 15 years
Brady the most overated qb ever, he has a strong arm ill give him that, other than that he a product of cheating and belli (basically the same thing) , if Belli had stayed with the Jets chad pennington wouldve had a couple rings. Matt cassel 11-5 brehs
Sorry...but to be a barely .500 won qb on the road has a lot to do with leaving the confinea of the dome. Peyton’s teams were much better on the road as a result of his play. It matters in this case
