It seems that when most people discuss the NFL MVP these days it revolves around the idea that Tom Brady has already locked this award up. I understand the Patriots are 10-0 and possibly heading towards an undefeated season, but don’t hand Brady the award yet. Brett Favre is also in the race for the MVP and his 20 completions in a row yesterday along with 381 yards and 3 touchdowns against Detroit displays how important he is to the Packers.

Brett Favre doesn’t have Randy Moss, Dante Stallworth, Wes Welker, and Ben Watson on his squad yet check out the numbers below. The Packers were not expected to be very good this year yet they stand at 10-1 due to the superior play of Brett Favre to date and for the leadership and experience he exudes. I think it’s a no brainer that Favre should win the MVP!

* Favre has 3,356 yards after 11 games while Brady has 3,059 after 10
* Favre averages 305.1 yards a game versus Brady’s 305.9
* Favre 22 TD’s to Brady’s 38

Stud running back Priest Holmes called it quits today after another neck injury last week with the Kansas City Chiefs. Priest fought for almost two years to get back on the Kansas City Chiefs squad after a severe neck injury only to aggravate the injury and determine health comes before hype. Holmes rushed for over 4,500 yards from 2001-03 and scored 61 touchdowns which is an impressive streak to say the least. Holmes is a class act and will be missed for years to come.
