After Matt Ryan's meltdown yesterday, it seems the QB stat race is now down to Brady, Manning and Ryan.
Brady gets dinged for fewer TDs and--esp. in comparison to Manning--a lower completion rate.
That lower completion rate is really nonsense because of the first downs the Patriots rack up. I've never seen a team where a pass incompletion was almost a non-statistic. Mesko rarely sees the field, which means pass incompletions are not hurting the Patriots too badly.
The one stat I took the most notice of:
Rushing TDs:
Patriots 16
Broncos 6
Packers 2
Kick/Punt returns for TD:
Patriots 2
Broncos 2
Packers 1
Fumble/Int for TD:
Patriots 3
Broncos 4
Packers 1
Total non-passing TDs:
Patriots 21
Broncos 12
Packers 4
This is something to consider when comparing Brady to Manning and Rodgers.

You may want to take a look at what Discount Double Check is doing also.
So far this season, I think he beats them all.
Rodgers has had more average games than both Brady and Manning. Against Arizona he played pretty poorly and still threw 4 TDs. Against Jacksonville he struggled for pretty much the whole game and still had a passer rating in the 90's. His numbers are great, and he's an awesome player, but the Packers never run the football inside the 10-yard line, and their offensive output isn't anything to write home about. The main driving force behind his amazing statistics are the amount of touchdowns he's thrown, but that's how Green Bay plays, they throw the football all the time. Brady leads the second highest scoring offense in NFL history, the fact that we use our RBs to punch it in when near the goal-line, instead of throwing it, shouldn't be factored against him.

He looks like he beats them all because of the amount of TD's he throws for but like it was already mentioned, his team has only rushed for 2 TD's. Brady could pad his stats like that too, but he doesn't care to. Plus if you look at the common opponents for Brady and Rodgers - Brady has done much better besides the Cardinals game.

The Patriots, not surprisingly, are dead last in total punts, but the other two teams aren't that far behind:
Patriots: 34
Donkeys: 42
Falcons: 37
Packers: 48

I'd say punting 8 and 14 more times is being pretty far behind. There's no argument that could be made that the Packers and Broncos are in the same level as the Patriots offensively. That goes through Brady. The Pats have won the same amount of games as those teams, with a much better offense and a worse defense. If the MVP is chosen the way it's supposed to, rewarding the player most indispensable to the success of his team, Tom Brady should be the choice. But I very much doubt he'll win the award.
