LT is a very stylish choice. However, the league record for TDs isn't what is was worth a few years ago. Remember Shaun Alexander last year? San Diego's defense is outstanding, as well. LT will probably win it anyways, but I feel if you took him off that team, SD would still be a playoff team. Yes, he plays with a 1st year starting QB, but that "bum" was the 4th overall pick a few years ago, so he obviously is extremely skilled.
Brees presents a different approach. He does have skilled players around him - Joe Horn, Deuce McAllister, Reggie - but he has accomplished much this year with the Saints with 1 rookie on the offensive line, a RT that had never started a game before this year, a LT that had never started a game at that crucial position before this year, Deuce recovering from a serious knee injury (and if you saw the old Deuce, you'd know he still isn't back to pre-injury form), a 7th rd pick leading the team in receiving yards, no TE et al. Not to mention Reggie quite underperforming the first half of the year. Take Brees away, and the New Orleans Saints are no better than a 4 win team at this point. I understand that makes a cogent case for him as team MVP, and not league; put this way, which player more represents the case for the ideal and most valuable player in the league? LT is stellar, but if you take Brees out of the Saints the league suddenly gets a lot less exciting. Don't forget Brees has engineered New Orleans to the #1 offense in the league.
I don't expect this to change any minds, but the debate about who is the better candidate is fun.
