Best QB seasons to not win the MVP?

[ivanvamp]

This year, a bunch of QBs put up ridiculous, Madden-like numbers. Consider:

Brees: 71.2%, 5476 yds, 8.3 y/a, 46 td, 14 int, 110.6 rating
Rodgers: 68.3%, 4643 yds, 9.3 y/a, 45 td, 6 int, 122.5 rating
Brady: 65.6%, 5235 yds, 8.6 y/a, 39 td, 12 int, 105.6 rating
Stafford: 63.5%, 5038 yds, 7.6 y/a, 41 td, 16 int, 97.2 rating
Romo: 66.3%, 4184 yds, 8.0 y/a, 31 td, 10 int, 102.5 rating
E.Manning: 61.0%, 4933 yds, 8.4 y/a, 29 td, 16 int, 92.9 rating
Ryan: 61.3%, 4177 yds, 7.4 y/a, 29 td, 12 int, 92.2 rating

Guys who put up stats that would have blown away the NFL not too long ago aren't even going to sniff the top 3 in MVP voting this year.

Tom Brady just put up one of the greatest seasons in NFL history at the QB position. And yet he's going to finish a distant 3rd in the MVP race. Last year he was the unanimous MVP (only time in league history). And yet this year, he had 1325 more yards and 3 more TD, and, with a far worse defense than last year, still took this team to a 13-3 record.....and he will be an MVP afterthought.

And, just for fun, look at Brady's last two seasons combined:

65.7%, 9135 yds, 8.3 y/a, 75 td, 16 int, 108.0 rating, 27-5 record

Insane. Probably the best 2-year stat line in league history. Maybe only these few come close:

- P.Manning (04-05): 67.5%, 8304 yds, 8.7 y/a, 77 td, 20 int, 113.0 rating, 26-6 record

- Rodgers (10-11): 67.0%, 8586 yds, 8.8 y/a, 73 td, 17 int, 112.1 rating, 24-6 record

- Brees (10-11): 69.7%, 10096 yds, 7.7 y/a, 79 td, 36 int, 100.7 rating, 24-8 record

Brady had more yards this season than he ever got when I was using him in Madden.

To think, 40 TDs in one season was just plain mythical for any human not named Dan Marino. Now we're guaranteed to have at least two QBs reach that total without getting the MVP.
