We have a shot at three 1000 yard receivers.

and to be brutally honest Brees saved his worst games for the most crucial ones. When we needed to win to save the season he played his poorest.

He had help there and the entire offense from coaching on down didn't show up but in an MVP type season you make the difference at those junctures.

You're absolutely right despite the mixed reaction. You're not taking anything away from Brees, he remains one the league's most productive QB still in the prime of a Hall of Fame career. But to truly be a league MVP - the most valuable player in the NFL - you have to be performing at your best when your team needs it the most.

Perhaps for good reasons, and certainly due to poor performances all around (players and coaching) the Saints had a run of bad play at a critical time in the season . . . and Brees was right there with the rest of the team in that lackluster play. You don't win MVPs under those circumstances - that's just reality.
