Manning threw for 27 touchdowns in 2008; he never threw fewer than 26 in a season in his career, save for the final year when he made just nine starts. Kurt Warner, Chris Johson, and Drew Brees all probably had better arguments. Brees led the league in completions, passing yards, and passing touchdowns; Warner threw for 4,583 yards and 30 touchdowns to drag the Cardinals to the playoffs (and eventually the Super Bowl), and Johnson rushed for 2,006 yards, then the fifth-highest mark of all time.
