The Gerbil said:CDonns said:Rodgers was only given MVP because the pack went 15-1 and they had a half-assed defense.
Soo he won the award because their defense was weak, had a weak running game and still only had 1 loss while putting up mind-blowing statistics? Sounds about right to me...
Who do you think would have been a better choice?
The Packers' defense last year was awful! There is no way around that. The running game? Non-existent. If the Packers did not have Aaron Rodger last year, they would have probably been an 8-8 team at best (depending on how Flynn would have played). To me, if a guy give 6 - 8 wins just alone by having him there, he is an MVP.
Take Peyton Manning ... Colts go 2-14 without him. With him, they should have easily gone 9-7. Why does he have, what is it, four MVP awards? Because of that!

wishful thinking
Eli may have two rings over the Patroits, but he is also the benefactor of a great coach, an incredible defense front seven, and had decent weapons around him. Don't you remember Wind, Fire, and Ice (I think that's what they called themselves) ... three RB's that are better than anything the Packers have had in a few years. Eli has had a great team around and does has an amazing ability to close the game out in the 4th quarter. If he was as good as Rodgers and Brady though, he wouldn't have to close out the 4th quarter so much ...
