I love Drew as much as the next guy but he really doesn't deserve a Pro Bowl this year. He got a lot of yards this year throwing the ball when the team is behind on the scoreboard -- I wouldn't go so far as to say it's what people call "garbage time," but playing the game from behind is a real thing. There have been quite a few games the last couple of years where the Saints have basically lost the coin toss, gone down 7-0 with 8:00 or so left in the first quarter, and then trailed on the scoreboard or been tied the entire time, playing catch-up, never once having the lead. The numbers may be big as they always are for Drew, but there's really nothing there to show for it. The yards pile up but it's like empty calories or a sugar high. Because they're behind on the scoreboard so much of the time. Meanwhile a guy like Matt Ryan or Dak Prescott maybe doesn't have the pinball machine-type numbers like Drew does, but he runs the offense, makes plays, puts together drives and scores, gets the lead, manages the tempo of the game, and then closes out and gets the team the win. Right now Drew Brees 2016 version only does #1 and #2 on that list, and part of #3.
