Would you chose Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, who leads the league in quarterback rating, completion percentage,  and touchdown passes?

Would you pick Saints' Drew Brees, who has thrown 2,477 yards, which tops the league?

Maybe you'd even pick New England's Tom Brady, or Carolina's exciting rookie Cam Newton.
