who would get the mvp

I think this year they should share the award. I do agree with Frank the Rat that having Brees as the Superbowl MVP would be ideal and best turn of events. But I honestly believe that both Brees and Tomlison deserve it. If Brees breaks Marino record, I honestly feel that it is bigger than the touchdown record. Keep in mind that the touchdown record has been broken several times in the last few years. Each year, some guy--whether it has been Priest Holmes or Marshall Faulk or Shaun Alexander or, now, LT--seems to become the new single season touchdown record holder.

But since 1984, no other QB has thrown for 5, 000 yards or come close to break Marino's record. Kurt Warner threatened the record the most and even he fell short. So for Brees to even be on pace to at least get to 5, 000 yards is remarkable. I think he does it. If he breaks the record, then there is no way that you can not give him the MVP award especially with us winning. It would be probably seen a little differently if we were 4-12 and always playing from behind. But if we end up 12-4 and Brees has thrown that many yards, then the numbers become really incredible and merits consideration for the MVP award.

LT deserves a share because while the TD record has been broken several times in the last few years, LT is on pace to obliterate the record. With 5 games left and him having already scored 24 touchdowns, he very well might get to 35, which would just be outstanding. I do not think it would be better than the Brees record, but given that he means so much to that S.D. team, he should at least get the Offensive Player of the Year award if not a share of the MVP.
