He doesn't give a rip about "trying to get Brees the MVP".


Mmm hmm. Rodgers sat out a meaningless game. Peyton had Brees out there the whole game, throwing it with a 21 point lead so he could pass Rodgers 45 TD passes.

Brees was taken out early in the 4th Quarter. Are they padding stats? Sure. If they are within reach, why not go for them? Jimmy Graham just passed Kellen Winslow for most single season yards by a TE and Darren Sproles just broke Derrick Mason's record for most all-purpose yards in a single season. The Saints are winning games AND breaking records. If you can do both, why not go for it?

As for all the criticism heaped on Brees, remember that he is in the final year of his contract and those stats go a long way towards getting himself the payday he deserves. Brees has already proven himself to a team guy throughout his NFL career, starting with his days in San Diego. He spreads the wealth on the field (four different players caught TD passes today), so he gets everyone involved. Plus, his teammates love him and have his back. That wouldn't be the case if it was all about him.
