So being the league leader in passing yards isn't good enough any more?

If the Colts reach the Superbowl, the AFC will have Schaub starting with VY as backup, and the 4th alternate [currently unknown] as the 3rd QB.

Youre ever present bitterness to New England is duly noted as always

Schaub better than Brady GUFFAW How many play-off games has Schaub won?, no scratch that how many has he played in? Hes good but good just doesnt cut it in the NFL

TBF Schaub has been better than Brady this year. The pro bowl is a nice jolly up for the lads who have done well. Now the voting is done by the fans and not the peers people know that it means less than what it did in years gone by.

It one thing doing it once if he can consistently do it and lead his team to the playoffs then he will become a better QB.
Its all about reaching the playoffs just look at Drew Brees he had two amazing years statistically in the last few but missed the playoffs twice so it was all for nothing IMO, he will look back at the end of his career and be proud but Im sure he would have swapped it for another chance in the playoffs.

Exactly the way I see it

He could do that every year and never make the playoffs though! Which would you rather have? He should turn out into a great QB and is already showing signs this year but its doing it year in year out that make you a top QB IMHO.

He had 372 yards more than Brady
1 more TD
2 more INT`s

Not really much considering Brady had injured Ribs and fingers on his throwing hand for half the season and according to some(incuding people who are "experts" at the nfl network) hes past it

Not bad for an old man eh

Brady shouldn't have been in ahead of Schaub anyway. Schaub > Brady. I'm sure Bellicheat would be voting on his computer a number of times.

I can see why they've put it before but it is a stupid idea. Logically the best team will have the most players and the best team should make the SB. None of those players will play. So it's even more ridiculous than prior. If the Vikes make the SB then that is 10 NFC pro-bowlers who will drop out.

Sooooooo....a player who has one really good season and didn't lead his team to the playoffs is better than a player who has three superbowl rings, the single season record for passing touchdowns, and led his team to a perfect record in the regular season? I'll assume you're quite new to the game. I like the Packers chances for next year, they will probably go tackle in the draft but the running back from cal Jahvid Best is quite good and may drop to them, I think he'd be too good to miss.

Given that the Pro Bowl selections are based on performances in that season, what Brady achieved in 2008 or any other year is a complete irrelevance.

I assume you must be fairly new to the sport?

You'll learn mate that ST CONROY has an hatred for anything Patriots and it often clouds his judgement whan posting about them.

Im fully aware of that. but that reason wasn't specified in the original post. Even basing it on last season most people would take Brady anyhow. Brady achieved very little in 2008 as his knee blown out. I assume you're very new.
