"Tom Brady should have been MVP" - Some fans aren't pleased with Aaron Rodgers winning NFL MVP award

Last night during the NFL Honors ceremony, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was named the league MVP for the 2021 season.

Following the announcement, NFL fans on social media were quick to voice their opinion. Many believe Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady should have won the award.

The MVP voting wasn't close as the Green Bay Packers quarterback took 34 out of 50 All-Pro first-team votes, while Tom Brady received 16. Quarterbacks with the most first-team All-Pro votes usually wind up winning the MVP award. As far as the MVP voting goes, the 38-year-old notched 39 votes, Brady notched 10, and Cooper Kupp had one lone vote.

One of Brady's biggest advocates, Skip Bayless, tweeted that he should have won the MVP award.

Twitter user @rarrlow agreed with Bayless, stating that Green Bay's quarterback only performs well in the regular season.

A handful of Packers fans also admitted that they think Brady should have won.

Some believe Brady was straight-up robbed.

One fan claimed they gave the award to a known playoff choker.

Another stated that Brady had better numbers, yet he still lost.

Bayless' critics were also in agreement with the controversial sports analyst.

Another Twitter user seems to agree with Skip for the first time.

Both Rodgers and Brady had terrific seasons this year. The Buccaneers quarterback can certainly plead his case as he led the league in completions, passing yards, and touchdowns. He threw 43 touchdowns, the second-highest mark of his historic career, while setting a career-high in passing yardage.

Rodgers led the league in passer rating with a high 111.9 rating while throwing the best touchdown percentage. The Packers had a league-best 13-4 while winning the NFC North. Rodgers threw an impressive 37 touchdowns to just four interceptions on the season.

Despite having a near-perfect regular season, the Packers and Rodgers fell short to the 49ers in the first round of the playoffs, resulting in a disappointing ending to what could have been a fantastic season.
