Re: New Pro Bowl rules
I think the new format, made the game a lot more interesting to me, the players seemed to have responded well to it. It wasn't confusing, at all to me and was for a change entertaining at the end......

Re: New Pro Bowl rules
Probably payback for recent Saints victories over the Cowboys. I'm not sure I understand the incentive for O-line guys from other teams to protect a QB who regularly beats them during the regular season. Probably why Brees made sure to get all of the Saints players on his team.

A.qb like Brees should shine in the Pro Bowl, especially with the rules they play under. |

Just my thoughts but I think the offseason will be just what he needs. You get blindsided enough as a QB and you start shortening your throwing motion so you don't fumble on the arm cock... Like we saw against Seattle. Do it enough and it becomes a rut. He needs to rework his mechanics. |

A revamped offensive line wouldn't hurt either |

Drew's passer Rating this season was a career 4th best at 104.7. Other than his completion percentage being down by 2.4% 2013 was a better year for Drew than 2009. Drew Brees NFL Football Statistics - Pro-Football-Reference.com We can not put the monkey on his back. |
