Tom Brady.

If you want to go with a literal interpretation of MVP - - meaning the player most valuable to his team - - then Matt Cassel has to get a ton of consideration. Compare the Chiefs when he is the QB and when he is not...

Agreed on the literal interpertation. The Eagles went 2-1 with Kolb as a starter after the first Redskins game while the Chiefs were shut out on offense against the Chargers when Cassel was out. Heck the Pats won 11 games with Cassel while Brady was out.

Not sure about that. The Chiefs coaching staff called a game far too scared for a QB that they have had for almost 4 years. Not only that, their defense couldn't get themselves off the field and gave the Chargers many long drives.

Still it shouldn't have been bad enough to produce a shut out.

Having only 20 minutes with the ball combined with almost always running on first down does increase the probability.

Not only that, Cassel only had a 3.1 yards per attempt against the Chargers in the season opener AND his best yards per attempt figure against the Chargers was 5.7 last year.
