Brady MVP, but not unanimously

http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=704043

Favre and the Packers dream season continued today, as Favre received the one and only non-Brady MVP vote. Favre had a great year, perhaps his best year ever, but Brady's year was perhaps the best statistically in NFL history, notably breaking Peyton Manning's 50 TD in a season record. Brady undoubtedly deserved it, and probably should have won unanimously, as he had a great season. However, around this time of year, you always hear rumblings of the true meaning of valuable. Had the Patriots gone 4-12 with Brady's year, he wouldn't have won since his team would have hypothetically missed the playoffs. But what is the true meaning of valuable? Does it mean taking a team with less talent and making them great, or is putting up great numbers, which in turn SHOULD make your team great. I guess what I'm saying is put Brady on the Pack, and Favre on the Pats, and the Packers probably go 10-6, and the Patriots 15-1. I think Favre was the most VALUABLE player, while Brady was the best player on the bets team. Is that so crazy? Perhaps. I don't mean to degrade Brady at all, but it is always a topic of debate around this time.
