One good game against the cardinals does not make up for his early game flaws and complete flaws. The saints didn't want to run the ball enough to help them win the last two games. I would be disappointed any other year but this year I'm not. |

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
I thought that Nick Fairley clearly had a pro bowl season. He's been consistently in the backfield this year. I was hoping he would be solid when we signed him, but instead he finally started living up to his draft hype. I don't care how many sacks he has, either. He did the job that elite DT's are supposed to do.
Brees not making it isn't shocking to me, but a little surprising. The yardage and TD's say he belongs in. But he's turned the ball over in bunches and the team has not been very good. It's a political world, even in sports. I knew he had the numbers to get the nod, but I stopped paying much attention to individual accolades when it became apparent, years ago, that more emphasis was placed on superficial factors. The Saints have been losing for too long and Brees has, at least for now, lost his "winner" status. Good players on bad teams can sometimes make it if they play at a less sexy position. At least that has been my observation. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
Btw regarding the browns probowler..........was that Terrelle Pryor? If it was, it was a comeback story for someone who transitioned from qb to wr and did it successfully. Up until RgBust came back, he was the defacto number 1 receiver.
