‘Brees has 3,463 passing yards this season, on pace for 5,037. Dan Marino has the NFL record with 5,084 yards in 1984. Yet how can anyone vote for Brees when San Diego’s LaDainian Tomlinson is going to obliterate the single-season touchdown record? Every time the touchdown record has been broken in the last 31 years – since O.J. Simpson scored 23 TDs in 1975 – it has gone up by one touchdown. Tomlinson is on pace to break the mark of 28 by six TDs. Tomlinson is the overwhelming favorite for the award this year.’
