Cam Newton deserves MVP simply because he's exceeded his expectations, but on a QB level he didn't perform as well as Brady by a long shot.
The only legitimate argument against Tom Brady as best QB this year would be Carson Palmer, who many of us thought was toast about six years ago. I wouldn't agree with that argument, but I think it can legitimately be made.
That being said, though, you've gotta take into account Newton's non-passing abilities. I think that puts him a clear third-*best*, but I also agree with you and think it does make him the *most*-valuable, inasmuch as his team relies so heavily on him. The strike against Brady in terms of MVPing this year seems to be how much Gronk means to that offense. The comparison is that the big athletic freak Cam Newton relies on in Carolina to score TDs is... Cam himself.
