4. Drew Brees

Brees must wonder what he has to do to win games. The guy threw for more than 360 yards against the Chiefs and still lost. For the season, the future Hall of Famer has amassed 2,101 yards and 17 touchdowns through six games.

3. Philip Rivers

If the Chargers get themselves back in the playoff race, Rivers should be considered seriously for the MVP. Rivers has no help (on the field or sideline) and has over 2,000 yards and 13 touchdowns. Incredible talent.

2. Matt Ryan

Atlanta is falling off a bit, but Ryan continues to shine. The former Boston College star has thrown for 2,348 yards on a laughable 9.62 yards per attempt. Add in the 16 touchdowns and 67.6 completion percentage, and you could be looking at the MVP.

1. Tom Brady

Three games. Eight touchdowns. Zero interceptions. Completion rate of 75.2. Outrageous.
