PrintDrew Brees, not surprisingly, has been selected to represent the New Orleans Saints in the 2011 NFL Pro-Bowl, played in Honolulu, Hawaii the week before the Super Bowl on January 30th. So have two of the to guys paid to protect him, Saints guards Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks.
Brees will be third behind starter Michael Vick and Matt Ryan on the NFC roster. Evans has earned a starting spot while Nicks will be playing backup.
Congratulations to Carl Nicks, who will make the first Pro-Bowl appearance of his career. This is Drew's fifth Pro-Bowl selection (2004, 2006, 2008, 2009) and the second for Evans (2009).
Check out the full rosters for both NFC and AFC Pro-Bowl squads right here.
What do you think? Are all of these guys deserving? Anybody they left out?

I dont know about Jahri.
This was a reputation pick cause he has been a penalty magnet this year. Nicks has played the better of the two this year and its much deserved. I would have like to see someone from the defense make Ellis or Harper in particular if it was possible. But maybe next year!
What in the HELL just happened!?
maybe all the penalty flags brought him good exposure - got his name mentioned a lot
there’s no such things as bad publicity
It's gonna be a great year.

Idk...
I would’ve liked to see at least one among: ellis, harper, or jenkins
The Easter Bunny is a savage...

Vilma and Jenkins are the only two Saints I feel should have made it. That’s including the three who did. That’s also without looking at a ballot.

Re: #25 ... CUT THAT CHUMP.
really?
you don’t think Breezy should of made it?
2010 is cuzzin's breakout year...run with that chip bruh!
Not really. Again, that’s without looking at a ballot or examining statistics. Rodgers seems to have put together a more impressive season, considering the losses of Finley and Grant alone.

Re: #25 ... CUT THAT CHUMP.
Rodgers didn't make it.
Matt Ryan made it over him and Brees btw.

Vick, Ryan, Rodgers would have been my three. Not saying it’s a travesty that Brees made it, just not who I would have picked, if choosing three without bias. Based on the entire season also, not when Pro Bowl ballots were due. Which is another issue I have with the process.

Re: #25 ... CUT THAT CHUMP.
I don't know if you ranked them.
If you did, I think Rodgers should be higher than Ryan. Rodgers has done amazing whereas Ryan has done good he has not had the trouble Rodgers had.

No, I just threw Rodgers at third, since he was the one that didn’t make it. I honestly don’t know how I’d rank those three. They’ve all been catalysts to their respective team’s success. Not that Brees hasn’t, obviously.

Re: #25 ... CUT THAT CHUMP.
Agreed
"In fact, Sterger claims that, in one of the photos Favre allegedly sent her, he's masturbating — while wearing a pair of Crocs"
Ellis should be there over Ratliffe no doubt!
There no way you can explain that to me!
What in the HELL just happened!?
Agreed. Not a fan of the selection process and/or the exhibition event itself. AP first team All-Pro is really the only year end collective list that I pay attention to. From a recognition standpoint alone, what’s the sense of segregating the supposed “best of the best” by conferences? I can see if you didn’t play interconference games. Which would be a huge improvement, imo … but that’s straying off topic.

Re: #25 ... CUT THAT CHUMP.
It's the BCS for the bigs.
It’s plainly stupid and it proves the stupidity of this type of selection proccess. Falcons got 7 in but it’s mainly because of the names and not the play. Human opinion is as stupid way to pick anything except American idol.
Rule #1: Double tap.

Are you going to be CSC's token falcon fan?
If so, we will need to give you something in honor of your position. Maybe a fried bird? :P

No Saints D Players? Shocking.
Jenkins, Roman, Vilma should have made it at least, like other people have said. And for the O side, Marques Colston should have made it in my opinion. He is having a nice season just flies under the radar.
I have read about Colston flying under the radar. People talk about how he is not the primadonna like other wide outs and I am not sure if that is why he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. The other Saints players say that he is quiet when he is in the locker room and he doesn’t like to talk to the media. I saw some dropped passes from him during the Atlanta game, a couple of those were stripped, but I like what he does for the team. I have heard the talking heads at NFL talk about grimes from the falcons and how he is such a good DB and he was over looked for the pro bowl. What about Jenkins?? Jenkins is a great DB that can play CB or S. He has made some incredible jumps on the ball when he was playing for D# and he has one pick 6. I don’t think grimes has any. IMHO Jenkins is the one that has been majorly overlooked. I just hope the QBs overlook him in the playoffs…
The big knock on Colston is YAC. He’s viewed as a possession WR in most circles and those are a dime a dozen, quite frankly. If he’s ever going to be thought of as elite, he’s going to have to do more than be a dependable target (which even that has debatable this season).

I had to rec that cause yeah he is a possession WR and he has dropped toooooo many passes. He is quiet, but frankly, I think he drops too many passes. I mean he is no stone hands henderson, but man, I am tired of seeing the ball fall through his hands
Id put Colston in over DeSean Jackson. Colston has more TDs, yards are lead by D-Jax but only by like 30, and Colston has more receptions. DeSean is just flashier so he is voted in. If Colston high stepped and danced around everytime he scored he`d probably in too.
i agree now that i've thought it over

Who cares anyway…our players will be busy so they won’t play anyway.

in regarards to receivers
it irks me that DeSean Jackson has 45 catches and is the 4th most prolific receiver in his roster as far as # of receptions, and only averages 3 per game as well as some games gets pretty much shut down (see last night as a reference) and he makes the Pro Bowl. Now, I know he is explosive , dangerous, etc. I’m not saying Colston should have made it. But I actually think Maclin is a better all around receiver and Le Sean McCoy is a more valuable player to that team also.
Not sure who I would have put in his place, but I really hate the guy so I know I am not being totally objective. My point is it probably never happend before that a guy made the Pro Bowl with 45 catches and had the 4th highest total on his roster even if his ypc is very high.

The Cowboys have 5 players in the Pro Bowl and they have 5 wins during the season.
That alone says everything about the selection process that needs to be said.
Well put, Drew-Dat
