Years that
I do not cover in depth in the manuscript. By process of elimination, you can now tell which years I do cover in depth.
In all of these, I agree with the AP selection.
2014: Aaron
Rodgers (341-520-4381-38-5). A lot of quarterbacks had standout years in 2014.
Tony Romo and Ben Roethlisberger had career years and Drew Brees was his usual
self; Peyton Manning had the last great half-season of his career. But Rodgers
outperformed them all.
2010: Tom Brady
(324-492-3900-36-4). Surprisingly, the first unanimous All-Pro QB and MVP was
this season. In the MVP voting, Favre had swiped a vote from Brady in 2007,
Vick from Manning in 2004. Philip Rivers (4710 yards on 8.7 per attempt, 30 TD)
could theoretically have challenged him, but Brady’s interception rate was just
too low.
2005: Peyton
Manning (305-453-3747-28-10). It’s kind of amazing that only one of Manning’s
All-Pro/MVQB seasons is in this section.
