The three top players in the top three spots on the Meter this week is still the same three players in the spots last week. Without counting Brett Favre out, now the discussion is mostly about Drew Brees and Peyton Manning: who deserves the top spot more?
Some argue that Brees benefits from having a more experienced and better group of receivers than Manning, and because the Colts are still undefeated in spite of these factors, Manning is the more valuable player to his team. Hence, Manning should be on top in what continues to look like a head-to-head battle.
But some consider that Brees is one of the main reasons the Saints’ rushing attack is so successful. The quarterback in No.9 Saints jersey just could throw in any situation, which opens things up for Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell. New Orleans has 400 rushes this season, while Indy has 304, which is the fourth-fewest in the league. And the Saints would not have this kind of success if without Brees. Brees has thrown for more touchdowns, fewer interceptions, has a higher completion percentage and averages more yards per attempt than Manning — and he’s extremely valuable to the Saints. That is why Brees is still in the lead to become the MVP.
Top 10 players following Brett Favre in the Meter include Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, Titans running back Chris Johnson, Packers cornerback Charles Woodson, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, Jets running back Thomas Jones and Broncos offensive linebacker Elvis Dumervil.
