MVP talk should include Saints' QB

MVP talk should include Saints' QB December 23
New Orleans Times-Picayune columnist Jeff Duncan
"Saints quarterback Drew Brees will complete one of the greatest seasons by any player in NFL history Sunday and likely will have nothing to show for it.

No division title.

No playoff berth.

Not even an individual honor, other than a run-of-the-mill backup spot in the Pro Bowl.

How unjust.

Not since Eric Dickerson ran for an NFL single-season record 2,105 yards in 1984 and was snubbed for MVP and Offensive Player of the Year honors has an individual player accomplished more and been rewarded less.

And that year, Dickerson had the misfortune of breaking the rushing record the same year Dan Marino set the single-season mark for passing yards in a season with 5,084 yards.

But there's no one close to having a Dickerson- or Marino-like season this year. Yet Brees still is being dismissed.

Heck, Brees wasn't even selected to start for the NFC in the Pro Bowl. That honor went to the Arizona Cardinals' Kurt Warner. Has anyone seen Warner play the past month?

Even more amazing, Brees isn't even being mentioned in the discussion about finalists for the award. Has the entire media corps who covers the league lost its collective mind?"
