The 2010 Offensive player of the year award went to none other than the New England Patriots Tom Brady. He put up ridiculous numbers barring the fact that he didn't have a legitimate star receiver. Brady threw for 3,900 yards, rushed for 30 yards, threw 36 touchdowns, rushed for 1, and only threw 4 interceptions and lost 1 fumble, giving him the highest quarterback rating in the NFL at 111.0. The statistic that stood out the most was Brady's record of throwing 335 consecutive passes with out an interception. He led the Patriots to a NFL best record this season at 14-2 and the number 1 scoring offense in the league. Meanwhile, his closest competition with 11 first place votes to Brady's 21 first place votes was Micheal Vick. Who also had an unbelievable season leading the Eagles to the playoffs and a division title. Vick threw for 3,018 yards 21 touchdowns, and just 6 interceptions. He also gain 676 yards rushing and 9 rushing touchdowns. He led a phenomenal comeback victory against the Giants in the Meadow Lands, with the help of a DeSean Jackson punt return to win the game and he also recorded a record breaking game against the Redskins; completing 20 of his 28 passes for 333 yards and 6 touchdowns, 4 throw the air and 2 rushing. Obviously two games doesn't win you an offensive player of the year award but the numbers that Vick put up this season and his impact on his team is worthy of the award. So, the question is did the offensive player of the year go to the right person??????
