True, but Brees doesn’t deserve all the blame like he probably did for the Cowboys game.  I’d at least put it at 50/50

I think you are really just splitting hairs as far as which game Brees' deserves more blame for. Point being, no such games exist for Peyton, he didn't fail on all 3 possessions in the final quarter to lose the game, he didn't have a game-losing fumble, he managed his offense with no run-game whatsoever, Brees produced points for his offense at only a slightly higher rate with a dramatically better run-game, and Peyton lost 0 fumbles to Breees' 6, meaning Brees ultimately had no turnovers. Peyton deserved the  MVP award of the 2009 season.

 I’ll give you the point about the rushing game, though let’s not act like Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell were doing Brees a huge favor themselves.  

why exactly would that be an act? Is the 6th ranked run game with 2106 yards, 21 touchdowns and 4.5 yards/carry somehow not doing him favors?

2009 was a great MVP race but it was a Top 5 year of Mannings career and he would of been 16-0 if he actually had the choice. I think that point is what got him the award.

2008 was just a year nobody deserved it. Michael Turner? C'mon.

Meh, Rodgers was otherworldly that year. Watt had a better case in 2012 over Peterson. 

I’d actually say he had a better case in 2015 over Cam Newton.  Peterson in 2012 made sense because he carried a useless Vikings offense with Christian ponder at quarterback to the playoffs while coming within less than 10 yards of Eric Dickerson’s record after coming off a torn acl at the end of the previous season just 9 months prior to the start of the season.  I didn’t think Cams passing stats against a cupcake schedule were particularly impressive, although if you want to argue the disparity in Cam’s rushing stats vs every other QB in the league then I won’t disagree with that
