Michael Vick made the Pro Bowl? Are you kidding me? I realize that the NFC sucks and that the QB is in a shambles over there but if Vick is the best they can find, they shouldve just left it at 2 NFC QBs. Lets take a look at this. Here are the NFC QBs ranked by QB rating

1. Hasslebeck.......96.3.....made the pro bowl
2. Bulger.........94.4.....injured
3. Brunell......87.0......20 TDs and only 8 INTs...2800 yards....didnt make it
4. Delhomme.....86.5....made pro bowl
5. Bledsoe........86.1 21 / 14....3188 yards...61.1% completetions...didnt make it
6. Warner........85.8....injured
7. McNabb........85.0....injured
8. B.Johnson....83.7....led a 2-5 team to 6 wins in a row...
9. Simms......79.6
10. Manning.....75.4....leads NFC in passing yards and TDs...didnt make it
11. Favre.........73.1.....2nd in NFC in passing yards...didnt make it
12. Culpepper....72.0...worst year of his career but still ahead of Vick..injured
13. Vick....71.8....13 TDs / 12 INTs...2100 yards passing....54.3% completions...8-6 team.....this is an outrage that he made the pro bowl. He needs to be playing a different position. Hes coming off a must win game against Chicago where he went 13-32 for 122 yards and 2 INTs and gets rewarded with a pro bowl selection. Horrendous! Theres only 16 teams in the NFC and hes ranked 13th. What a joke. His running yards are nice, but not THAT nice.

Add Larry Allen to the list of jokes that made the pro bowl.

Let's see Dallas, can't protect the QB and can't run the ball but we are putting Allen in.

Vick making it is a joke.

Of course, its all players voting so its pretty much who gets on SportsCenter the most.

I havent seen a whole lot of highlight reels showing Vick making great runs this year either. Hes got 534 yards so far in 13 games and he has a 5.9 YPC avg. He had 902 last year in 15 games with a 7.5 YPC. His running has dropped way off.

Id be really pissed if I was Brunell or Bledsoe or even Manning

If they had just left Vick out and not had anyone else in the Pro Bowl, that would have been fine for the NFC...or just give the NFC Brees for this one. The AFC has all the good QB's right now anyway(uninjured at least). But, they need to put someone in that game there to be the third backup...don't want to run risk of injury for any one position.

Pro Bowl is pretty much a joke anyway...does anyone here actually watch it?
