And Drew Brees' name is no where to be found...

Drew Brees

• Passes Completed - 419 (1st)
• Passing Yardage - 4559 (1st)
• Passing TDs - 34 (1st)
• Passing Yds/Gm 325.6 (1st)
• Passer Rating 103.0 (4th)

Note:: 1st Ryan - 114.8; 2nd Brady - 109.7; 3rd Prescott - 103.2

Until mid-season, saddled with the leagues worst defense (better now with relative health)

Most experienced WR is Cooks in his third season, then Snead in his second season; Thomas is a rookie.

Horrible TE in Fleener - Payton can coach ;em, just can't pick 'em.

Starting LT on IR, played less than three total games.

Right Tackle only player to start and play nearly entire season at his position...

Quite simply, Brees is the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL...

In fact, NO Saints made the ProBowl Roster for a second straight year!

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

He got blanked when he threw 6 picks in two games to knock the team out of playoff contention. You're not pro-bowl material if you do that.

Also the Saints lost 2 their only games in prime time, and in both those games they fell behind and trailed almost the entire time....if that's what people see, how else do you expect them to vote?

Raiders had a nice year but 7 Pro bowlers?

Rugby Saint II

Just wait until next year baby!

That's overcompensation for 40 years in the desert suckage...

They are vastly improved, but not that d*mn good...

They played the two easiest divisions in football. They won on the road against us.


That's the thing. People are calling Ryan a MVP. Sadly Drew doesn't badly want to be the best qb in the division, he just wants the team to win. He let Atlanta steal our thunder when we tried to hold them off for years. They won the battle.

But seriously after his displays against the lions and bucs, he does not deserve a pro bowl. Oline issues or not, the lions loss was especially embarrassing.

Their record(Oakland) gets them talked about. Does not matter how talented you are the more you win the more you're liked.

And the market you're in - some kids are favored more than others...

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.
