Why hasn't Tom Brady won an NFL MVP yet? Should he?

Tom Brady knows one thing and one thing only, "JUST WIN". He doesn't care about his own stats, QB passer rating, completion percentages etc. He'll do what it takes to win a game. Peyton Manning is a better QB based on numbers and stats. But if I compare them intuitively, I favor Tom Brady over Peyton Manning because he just wins. Also another thing to note is Bill Belichick is the key reason for Tom Brady's success. If Bill Belichick was coacing Peyton Manning, Peyton will keep winning every Super Bowl. Reading from my comments you'll see that I adore both Tom Brady & Peyton Manning.

I think Tom Brady is alot more banged up than the Patriots are letting on.  They probably aren't comfortable with Matt Cassell as the back-up, because he hasn't started a game since he was a high-school QB.  Vinny was with Belichick in Cleveland and knows his system.\n\nFor more on the Patriots and the NFL, check this site out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

Do you know why Peyton Manning wins?  Because he's a student of the game.  He has great mental abilities.  Tom Brady wins because he has heart and can come through in the clutch.  If you put those two together and surround them with a pretty good offense and a defense that doesn't allow too many points.  You're gonna have a great team.  You can talk about stats all you want, but all you need is the win.

I am actually going to say no, and if Vince Young falls this low which is possible.  Watch for a surprise pick of Young here.  I think it looks as if Green Bay needs a QB who can be an MVP and from what I saw of Aaron Rodgers, Vince Young looks like a much better QB in terms of leadership and talent.

Brady doesn't have the physical tools and talent that Favre has. He doesn't have a cannon for an arm, and he doesn't have the strength to force plays like Favre can. That being said, Brady is a much smarter QB than Favre, for exactly those reasons. He DOESN'T try to force plays. Favre got away with the gunslinger crap when he was younger and when he had upper-level receivers, but it's been his downfall for the last few years. Favre makes a lot of costly mistakes trying to thread passes into heavy coverage, and it ends up leading to a lot of INT's and has cost the Packers more than a couple games. Brady doesn't make those mistakes. He is consistent and spreads the ball around much better than Favre does (which is why NE's receivers suck for fantasy football). He recognizes that you can't make something happen on every play, and that sometimes it's better to just throw it away or take the 2 or 3 yard dump route. It's too early to say that Brady is better than Favre, but I think he's on track to be. By the way, I hate both teams so I have no personal stake in any of this.

"until peyton wins 3 superbowl rings, or 10 straight palyoffs wins\n\nhe's not tom brady\n\ntom brady should have won that game,"\n\noh yeah, I totally forgot that the rings were earned by Brady single-handedly and they give him magic winning powers.  Apparently the magic faded against the Jets\n\nThe PATRIOTS won the rings because they were/are a better TEAM than the colts. Peyton Manning IS the colts (IMHO, if a different QB was there, even with Marvin and Reggie, they would be MUCH worse off).  He single handedly beat the Broncos by throwing 3 TDs against a team that had given up, about 1 (IIRC) in all 6 games before that.  "Brady doesn't have any one particular reciever" --Like Peyton doesn't? He usually spreads it around and can STILL get top 2 WRs over 1000 yards (and even when they still had Edge). He gets it to his top 3 WRs and top 2 TEs all the time.  He spreads it around with the best of them.\n\nSorry to rant, but I don't care how glitzy SB rings are, or how much media attention SB winning teams/players get, people need to look beyond them when looking at individual players.

I'm surprised he wasn't picked to replace Brady.  But when you look at just pure numbers, Manning, Palmer and Brady all put up more than him.  Fans saw the TD's and voted for them instead of Ben who probably deserved it more.

It has to be Manning. He has broken a bunch of records. Tom Brady has the rings, but that does not make him a better quarterback. What Tom Brady had was a better team overall.

Peyton will be known as one of the best, there are a lot of shoes to fill there and he has not been to nor won the Superbowl yet.  The only 2 really great QB's to not win one are Marino and Kelly.  The best ever?  He has to look up to Bradshaw, Montana, Aikman and Elway  before anyone can claim that for Peyton.  Maybe he will, we will have to see.  Joe Montana was the best QB ever, cool under pressure and very few mistakes and a whole bunch ' o Super Bowl rings.\n\nL.T. by far is the best running back the Chargers have ever had.  But, he too, has a long way to go to stand up to Payton, Brown, Sanders and Thurman.  Walter Payton was the best running back ever.  He NEVER had a really good offensive line and he held the rushing record for a long time before Emmit passed it.  Emmit had a VERY good offensive line for several years, He is good but not as good as a Payton or Barry Sanders.

if anything he will be viewed as a quarterback that uses the most with nothing...the guy has one player on that ENTIRE offense that could even sniff the NFL...if he was on a team with more weapons on offense we are not only talking about a multiple heisman winner, but also one of the greatest qb's of all time...but since neither of those has happened...i still think he will be the top qb taken...look at guys like joey harrington and alex smith and even david carr...true they aren't the greatest qb's in the NFL...but they did a lot with nothing to make HUGE names for themselves

I've contended since his rookie season how grossly NFL fans and pundits have overrated Big-Ben.  I've been head scratching since he came into the league, wondering why people can't see it's that championship caliber defense and top-rated, two-headed rushing attack that led to his success.  \n\nSure, he had his moments.  He's a big guy with quick feet who can escape the pocket and therefore extend the play.  Yes, he won a Super Bowl.  MAY I REMIND people of how he has played in many playoff games, to include the Super Bowl?  \n\nThe Patriots dared him to throw in his rookie year in the playoffs.  He choked badly.  He was just awful.  Don't take my word for it, watch the tape or look up the stats.\n\nThat same year he won against the Jets in spite of tossing some God-awful, untimely interceptions.  Just awful.  Again, watch the tape---it doesn't lie.  \n\nFast-forward to last year's Super Bowl.  He was just awful.  Statistically, I might add, the WORST performance ever by a winning QB in the Super Bowl.  Fact.  He threw THREE (3) interceptions, ZERO (0) touchdowns, while completing less than half (the equivalent of batting .200 in a baseball series) of his passes for barely over 100 yards.  He was just awful.   BUT----he had that monster, bone-crushing defense and a pounding rushing attack no other team in football possessed (with the varity of backs at his disposal, combined with his O-line's ability to create holes).  \n\nHe's got some talent, and I get why Pittsburgh likes him after the "Slash" Stewart debacle, but watch the games.  Watch him play.  A big pass or two down the field for touchdowns every now and again, or a 15 yard scramble on 3rd down does NOT an excellent quarterback make.   And he thrives off play action, but heck----even I could sell the run if I had a top rated rushing attack at my disposal.  You rush the ball 15 times in a row for 5, 10 yards a carry and duhhh----there's going to be some play-action fake opportunities!  \n\nHis medical issues are only compounding the harsh reality that without a championship caliber defense (yes, it's good but not what it once was), and without that POUNDING rushing attack ("Fast" Willie Parker is a fine back, but not a pounding, classic in-between the tackles runner the Steelers have thrived on), you could line up on all four downs, if need be, and hammer away for a first down 4-5 yards at a whack----his true colors are shining through.  He may one day be a journeyman caliber guy, but for now, he throws interceptions like they're going out of style (he threw them more often than 3/4 of the league, by the way, his rookie year----in spite of the fact he attempted fewer passes than any other player in the league.  Dead last).\n\nThe Steelers won in SPITE of Ben last year.  And while stats only tell part of a story, sometimes they tell a very clear and convincing story.  The guy had the worst statistical performance EVER by a starting QB, people.  EVER!  To defend him with statements such as, "Well yeah, but he won the game!" is just nonsense.  It's glib nonsense.  It would be like a pitcher walking 9 batters, giving up 5 home runs and 19 hits over 6 innings before getting pulled for a reliever, but winning the game 9-8 because his offense out-slugged the other team.  To argue, "Well, that pitcher won the game, baby!  He's a winner!" is congruous to what Steeler fans say about Big Ben.

I think you mean MVP, but I don't think he should, because, even though he scores a whole lotta points per game, they don't necessarily guarantee wins. Just a couple of days ago, he scored 51 points, but his team lost by the score of 100-93 (I think). If a player's efforts don't contribute wins the majority of the time, he shouldn't be MVP. Steve Nash, Michael Jordan, Kevin Garnett - when they got their MVP's, they clearly elevated ALL of their teammates by their play. Not so for Kobe.

It's hard to say that he'll have more than Brady, for two simple reasons: 1. He's already 2 behind, and Brady has at least 7-10 years left in him. 2. Since they both play in the AFC, the odds they potentially meet in the playoffs are good at least a couple more times throughout their careers, and if Brady beats Ben more often than not, that'll hurt Ben's chances of getting those 2 rings (or perhaps more in future years) to catch Brady.

People like to throw out completion rating and TD stats when talking about the Greatest QB ever. The dude is the master of game management.  All that matters is The ring and he has three of them and should be in the top 5.  Just ask Peyton Manning or Dan Marino if he would trade all those stats for a ring.

BRADY . \n\nPeyton has a CAREER of choking in big games. He never beat FLORIDA, when they were in the AFC EAST, they got stomped  consistantly and were a wildcard team, and the PATRIOTS OWN them. Not to mention last year, the STEELERS beat them in a game they were favored heavily to win. \n\nMeanwhile all Tom Brady does is win. 3 superbowls. 13 DIFFERENT Recievers, and 2 different off. coordinators later. Oh by the way , his hands a little heavy from all the *bling*

Oh get a grip to people picking active QBs, espically ones like Brady. I can't pick a greatest of all time. You have different eras and changes in the game. Now that said I would say Dan Marino would always be on the list of the best. This despite never winning the Superbowl, and only going once. That proves how much better he is then these ones that do nothing but go to the Superbowl. After all who would know who those guys are if they weren't going?
