If you win MVP and lose the Super Bowl doesn't that just make it a big participation trophy?

In 2011, Drew had 833 more yards, a 2.9 better completion percentage, and 1 more TD (though with more attempts). Rodgers had 8 fewer interceptions and a 11.9 better QB rating. Rodgers received 48 of the 50 votes. I get that Rodgers had a crazy year in 2011, but so did Brees, and the voting certainly should have been closer.
Also Drew was sacked 11 times less than Rodgers and fumbled 1 time while Rodgers fumbled 5. This always ticked me off when they would bring up the INT's but never mention Rodgers turning it over other ways. So it was Rodgers with 11 turnovers to Brees 15.
Also had the Saints managed to pull off that first win both teams finish 14-2 and pretty sure Brees would have been the one that won the award but not in a landslide like Rodgers.
Or, even if the Saints went down in a fight in Week 1
We were at the 18 down 8 and ran three plays. Ingram was stopped at the one as time expired if I remember correctly. I would say that's "going down in a fight"
Thanks for the red thumb. My point was had the Saints not lost to bad teams and matched the 15-1 record, Brees could also have had a mich better shot. Of course everyone knows they went down in a fight, made a furious comeback, and Brees matched Rodgers that night.
