Rodgers was the third vote-getter at QB (Matty Ice and Brady).
Bakhtiari and Clinton-Dix are second teamers. Bulaga 1/2 vote short of second team. Jordy was the 5th vote-getter at WR.

No other Packer received votes - a little surprised that Mike Daniels didn't get some votes.
Casey Hayward was a second team All-Pro. Would have been nice to have him this year.

Well, that doesn't bode well for Rodgers getting the MVP. I guess a Super Bowl ring will have to suffice.
Shoulder chip placed.
Favre would have retired from hurt feelings.
Let's not forget that some men are more sensitive then others.
Patriots go 3-1 and look good without Brady to start the season. Patriots win easily in DEN when Brady has a poor game. Patriots defense leads the league in fewest points allowed. Yeah, the team would not do well without Brady.
The year Brady was out injured, Matt Cassell led the team to an 11-5 record, making a ton of money therefrom like Matt Flynn would later do. Except I don't think Cassell turned out to be quite as bad elsewhere.
Brady is damn good, but I agree that this year is not the year that he should be up at the top of that list. It would have been one thing if the Pats had been 0-4 without him, but at 3-1, it made it pretty clear that Brady is not as important to them as everyone thought he might be.
Bottom line for me is Brady missed 25% of the season and the record when he wasn't there isn't important.
Rodgers missed half the season.
I get the impression the MVP voters don't stick high and tight to the definition of MVP = most valuable player to his team. In other words, how would his team fare without him. I'm guessing they look more at stats and performance. They may discount Brady for the 4 game suspension but not for the fact the Pats went 4-1 without him.
HHCD only defensive player receiving any votes.
Tom Brady has won an amazing 77% of the games he's started. Even more amazing? His backups have won 72% throughout his career.
Also, Bahk was by most accounts a top 3-5 LT in the league this year. He was nearly untouchable in pass pro and grew a ton as a run blocker. A few more years of this, and he has to join the discussion of Ted's best non-Rodgers draft pick ever.
Absolutely. And this jump after signing the big contract. I always thought he was just a tad light to really be a good/great LT. But he has extraordinary feet and good athleticism. His run blocking technique has really advanced.

Houston has the number one D without JJ....
Fair point, PP, but in terms of MVP voting defensive players aren't evaluated in the same way. This is evidenced by there one win in 40 years. Hell, if anything your point justifies this logic. HOU was without a generational talent on D, and it still didn't change the outcome of their season at all. I'd argue a DIV showing was their ceiling with Watt.
On the other hand, I don't see ATL or GB as .500 teams without their QBs. NE still wins 11 or 12 games without Brady. If they truly vote on value to the team, this has to be a factor.
