Not being able to stay healthy works against him. You don't get the MVP for playing in 3 games and managing 20 TDs and 0 interceptions but being hurt the rest of the way. I get what you are saying but I think the fact that Vick has missed time and not played in as many games as Brady works against him more than anything.
I would agree, although the staying healthy thing is easier for a pocket passer like Brady. But you're absolutely right, especially if both players have been playing at such a high level and their performance otherwise has been pretty much the same, then Brady should get the nod because he did his thing in 3 more games.
I just didn't think, that the team record thing was fair in this particular case because Vick was sidelined for one loss and barely played in 2 of the other 3.
McNabb finished last season with 24 TDs, 7 INTs, and a 60.3 completion %.
He left the Eagles and has 14 TD, 15 INTs, and a 58.3 completion %.
I'd say the Eagles have more than enough talent. Philly was top 5 last year in points scored as well. Not really a team without talent and scoring power.
If Brady didn't best him in every QB statistic except for rushing yards, you might have a good point
does Brady have any mega-stars playing along side of him? catching the ball?
did you know? this is a rebuilding year for the Pats. Brady kinda put the kibosh on that
Vick is having a great year, arguably the 2nd or 3rd best QB this year, just not the best

he would be the other 2nd or 3rd guy IMO
actually, Brady is better even on a per game basis.
Plus going 6-0 in his last 6 with 17 TD's 0 Int's and a QB rating of 125 has just put this debate to bed already
I would also suggest that "playing in games" is a pretty important part of winning the MVP.
being on the field matters (for many reasons) - so I like Brady in this debate.
I will say though, that Vick is a very close second - as even stats like his number of fumbles can be misleading, in that he only has lost 1 of them I believe... so as far as turnovers go, they're almost even. If he did what he's been doing for a whole season, I'm sure my opinion would be the opposite it is now.

While the naked stats do seem to point towards this, I would argue that Vick played 3 quarters in week 1; and 1 quarter in week 4. So on paper, those 2 appearences count as "games", when in reality he played less than the full game.
Even with that, Vick and Brady's numbers are neck and neck. Brady's slight edge is accounted for by the fact that Brady has literally played more football than Vick this season.
They're both definitely the top 2 QB's, and I would have no complaints if Brady wins. I just think it's alot closer than people think.
