Pro Bowl Replacements Named

[petedog9]

They also named Trent Green as Brady's replacement.

Plummer is going for the injured Carson Palmer. Why no love for BIG BEN before these two guys. Bens QB rating is one of the highest in the NFL. Plummer and Green are both in the 90's. Ben should have been there IMO.

Steelers DT, Casey Hampton will be replacing the Patriots Richard Seymour.

Where did you hear about Plummer replacing Carson? I haven't seen anything about that.

It was reported the week after Palmer went down. Right around the Indy v Pitt game. I'll look for a link.

Here ya go.....

Wow, if that's true, then that's also just awful. What didn't they like: Roethlisberger's 98.6 QB rating, or that he's leading his team to the Super Bowl?

1. Peyton Manning, IND 104.1
2. Carson Palmer, CIN 101.1
3. Ben Roethlisberger, PIT 98.6
4. Matt Hasselbeck, SEA 98.2
5. Marc Bulger, STL 94.4

I agree completely Lung. I think becaue he is young, they think he will have lots of chances etc. system QB and all the other BS cliches they use when speaking of him and these same "experts" are the same ones singing his praises about his playoff run.

The fact is, this guys is setting records that havent been seen since Marino and even bettering many of those. He DESERVES the nod over both Green and Plummer.

I believe that the AFC pro bowl order was as follows, correct me if I'm wrong:

1. Manning
2. Palmer
3. Brady
1st Alt: Brees
2nd Alt: Plummer
3rd Alt: Green
4th Alt: Roethlisberger

I doubt he particually cares though, it's not like he doesn't have another Bowl to prepare for.
