The focus on Drew Brees seems to be his breaking Marino's yardage record. Make no mistake, Brees has had one of the best years ever for a quarterback. But Brees attempted 155 more passes than Aaron Rodgers.
If Rodgers had as many pass attempts as Brees, he would have thrown for 6,044 yards and nearly 59 touchdowns. Statistical analysis will suggest that Aaron Rodgers should win the NFL MVP award by a somewhat comfortable margin in a year with strong quarterback play.
