Packers QB Aaron Rodgers Named Sporting News 2011 Offensive Player Of The Year

Aaron Rodgers put up the best season passer rating in history (122.5) with other-worldly numbers of 4,643 yards, 45 touchdown passes and six interceptions, and along the way he managed to make State Farm relevant again in the insurance industry. It was that kind of year for the reigning Super Bowl MVP, as seemingly everything he touched turned to gold during the Green Bay Packers’ 15-1 campaign. With 413½ votes from our pool of 632 NFL players, coaches and executives, Rodgers won handily over second-place Drew Brees (112 votes). NFC North opponents were left doing a double-take while trying to slow Rodgers, a seventh-year pro.

I call bullshit on this one. No one was a better offensive player than Brees. If not a win, it should have at least been much closer.

If Rodgers won this, then Brees will probably win the MVP. Rodgers should win both though.

He led HIS team to a better record, not to mention he beat Brees head to head.

I thought it should be other way around. Breed for offensive and Rodgers for MVP. I don't think you could really go wrong with any combination...Brees/Rodgers, Rodgers/Brees, Brees/Brees, Rodgers/Rodgers...

This is how I thought it should have been too.
