In an era loaded with tons of RBs gaining around 2000 all purpose yards. Even LJ was way above 2000 that year. And we all know that RBs need to be really outstanding to beat a QB.
Meanwhile Brees turned around a 3-13 team, led them to their first playoff in a gajillion years (with an average supporting cast), and he led the league with 4400 passing yards (which is pretty much equivalent to 5000+ yards passing today).
Again, I'm not saying he was snubbed. But Brees was most definitely a viable MVP candidate in 2006.
