Brees replaces Big Ben (after Rivers passed on it as well)

Brees is 1st alternate, Rivers is 2nd alternate, Russell Wilson is 3rd alternate, Matthew Stafford is 4th alternate

Rivers is in as the replacement of the winner of Brady/Luck in the AFCCG

crazy that Brees wasn't in the Original Six QBs selected to the Pro Bowl, as he and Peyton Manning were the only two to finish Top 6 in passing yards, passing TDs, and QB rating:

#4 yards, #2 TDs, #4 rating -- Peyton Manning

#1 yards, #5 TDs, #6 rating -- Brees

There were 3 other QBs to finish Top 7 in each category, all 3 were in the Original Six selected to the Pro Bowl:

#1 yards, #7 TDs, #3 rating -- Big Ben

#3 yards, #1 TDs, #7 rating -- Luck

#7 yards, #3 TDs, #2 rating -- Rodgers

The other two in the Original Six selected to the Pro Bowl were:

#14 yards, #4 TDs, #1 rating -- Romo

#10 yards, #5 TDs, #5 rating -- Brady

as for Rivers, Wilson, Stafford being selected as 2nd to 4th alternates, it should have been three of these four:

#16 yards, #16 TDs, #10 rating -- Wilson

#5 yards, #10 TDs, #11 rating -- Matt Ryan

#8 yards, #8 TDs, #12 rating -- Rivers

#6 yards, #9 TDs, #15 rating -- Eli Manning

as for Stafford, not only should he be below those four, but also below Tannehill, Flacco, and Cutler:

#11 yards, #12 TDs, #14 rating -- Tannehill

#12 yards, #12 TDs, #16 rating -- Flacco

#10 yards, #10 TDs, #17 rating -- Cutler

#14 yards, #14 TDs, #21 rating -- Stafford

but as it is, Stafford, as the 4th alternate, has a good chance of going to the Pro Bowl...

Detroit Free Press yesterday:

"If two of Manning, Rodgers and Romo pull out of the game, as expected, Stafford would head to Arizona for Pro Bowl festivities next week."

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
