    The other vote went to Brett Favre. I can understand that. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that without him the Packers would have done very little.

    Agreed but if 16-0, the single season TDs thrown record and the single season team scoring record and the second highest single season QB rating of all time doesn't equate to every vote I don't know what would

    I don't understand it either, but I was trying to discern the logic for casting that dissenting vote. I certainly think that Brady deserved every single vote.

    My guess is that the reporter who cast that vote is from Wisconsin...

    I personally would have debated voting between Brady and Moss. The QB is the most valuable by default most of the time, but Moss made Tom's job much much easier this year.

    You're right about Moss' importance. He had 98 catches for 1493 total yards out of a total of 4731 passing yards. However, Brady threw to a lot of other Pats as well, with Welker catching the most - 112 for 1175 yds.

    That's why I'm surprised that Favre didn't get more votes. 16-0, yes. And Brady is a world class QB, no doubt. But they did bring in a bona fide stud at WR to help him out.

    Favre led the same basic team that went 8-8, and missed the playoffs, in 2006, and 4-12 in 2005, to a 13-3 record and a real chance at a Super Bowl berth this year.

    IMO, he deserved more than one vote.

    I agree ther was only 2 choices Brady or Moss.

    This clown that voted for Favre should lose his right of voting for the MVP. Some of these people that vote for these should be suspended or just kick out when there vote is totally bias... just me thought.

    Could also make a case for Manning to get votes. People always wondered how he'd do without Marvin, and this year we found out. He put up 4000 yards and over 31 TDs I believe. And add to that his messed up offensive line!

    If I cast a ballot, it would be Moss, Brady, Manning, Favre and Tomlinson in that order.

    Oh come on! Like the whole thing isn't totally biased to begin with.

    I think the award is a joke, but it is what it is. They hand it to the guy with the best stats, and don't consider the "most valuable" part. If they did, the guys in the trenches would get more recognition.

    It doesn't matter where he is from.

    Bias could be:

    1) He is from Wisconsin so he votes for a Packers

    2) A big Favre fan. I love him but like you said probably 4 or 5.

    3) The guy doen't like New England


    I like your list Moss, Brady, Manning, Favre and Tomlinson.

    There is always bias in these votes but stupidity is another thing...lol
