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."

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
