Having a tough time deciding whether to keep Drew Brees or Eli Manning? Can’t figure out if you should trade Matt Ryan for Aaron Rodgers? Now there is a new way to determine player values with QSN’s new points per dollar “MVP” ratio.
The concept is simple, we I took each players 2011 total points scored and divided it by their salary for every position (except kicker) to give us their pts/$$ ratio.
Who is the most valuable player? Who is the least valuable? This and more after the jump…
This new pts/$$ method really helps determine relative player value for those struggling with keeper or trade decisions.

Cam Newton at $1 and 262 points scored in 2011 is clearly the most valuable with a 262 rating, while Andre Johnson at $25 and 49 total points for a 1.99 rating helps explain why Benny finished in last place for the 5th time in 13 years.
As for Brees and Eli or Ryan and Rodgers? Brees’ 25.67 is much lower than Eli’s 69 suggesting Eli over Brees from a pure value standpoint, while Rodgers’ 13.66 rating is only somewhat lower than Matt Ryan’s 16.9, so its a much closer call.
