Surprise Surprise, Brady Wins 1st MVP

Vote


Beat that Peyton, now Tom Brady is the TD king and Peyton is the defending Super Bowl MVP; who would've thought? Brady took 49 out of 50 votes, Favre got the other vote making him a verrrrrrrrrrrry distant second. Randy Moss, who some felt was the key to the Patriots getting 16-0 and every record known to man, didn't recieve a single vote.

The eight-year veteran who already has won three Super Bowls helped the Patriots tear through the record books by throwing for 50 touchdowns. He beat Peyton Manning's league mark by one, and also threw 23 of those TD passes to Randy Moss, which lifted the receiver past Jerry Rice's record of 22.

New England scored 589 points, another record, as was the Patriots' 75 touchdowns. Brady led the NFL with a 117.2 passer rating -- no, not another record, but close to Manning's 121.1 in 2004.(Anyone else surprised at how quickly people stopped talking about that one) Only one full-time AFC starter, Jacksonville's David Garrard, had fewer than Brady's eight interceptions. And Brady threw 253 more passes than Garrard.

So far the postseason awards been pretty obvious, Adrian Peterson was the offensive rookie of the year since Week 5, Bill Belichick went 16-0 and was the runaway Coach of the Year winner, Patrick Willis was the only reason to watch the 49ers games as he easily took defensive rookie of the year.

"To be honest, I'm surprised it took so long for him to get this recognition because he's sort of been our MVP since he stepped on the field in '01, in my mind, and the way he just took over," Owner Bob Kraft said. "He treats everyone in that locker room the same way he treats me or the coaches."

Brady is the first ever New England Patriot to win MVP, and the first QB to since Peyton won in 2004. Brady was forbidden to talk to the media by Belichick..I mean he was unavailable for comment.

I think Brady deserves it more than any but wish Brian Westbrook would have at least been mentioned as a top 5 candidate by any sports writer, without westbrook, the eagles without a doubt would be one of the sorriest franchises in football, hes approximently half their offense and led the nfl in total yards

I agree, but guys from 8-8 teams out of the playoffs just don't get considered as MVP. He should have, however, been the starter in the Pro Bowl

This has become a popularity contest. Still Brady had to win the MVP for this year. It's just a shame that Moss isn't getting the recognition he deserves. Without Moss you could erase at least 12+ touchdown passes Brady has for this year. Without does 12+ passes and IF, and I say IF, they had lost only ONE game I think it might have gone to Brett. Lastly, when the heck is Favre going to retire already?

Why would Favre retire? He's still a better than average QB in a league with shortage of quarterbacks. His durability alone makes him a valuable asset. I cringe when I think a Aaron "Glass" Rodgers taking over the Packers. He'll be good for 10-12 games per season max.

I'm just kidding Cheezer. I was just throwing this out there because I think Brett want's to retire on top. If he won MVP and the superbowl this year he'd retire. And let the Cialis commercials begin!

Favre was robbed!!!! He is the true MVP. I give Brady all the credit he deserves, but his whole team was MVP. He is just a compliment to the Patriots greatness. Favre is and was the Packers this year and wouldn't have been so without him. LONG LIVE FAVRE!!!

I'm surprised Moss didn't get one MVP vote.
