Aaron the starter in the probowl?

[packers11]

Here is how it went before Sunday's game :

* Drew Brees, New Orleans
Brett Favre, Minnesota
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay


With Brees going to the Super Bowl and Favre going to opt out, I think A-Rod will be the starting QB ... Maybe i'll watch this year 8-)

[MichiganPackerFan]

I was thinking the same thing. No way Favre will play. Actually, even though he's made the game several times, when was the last one he participated in?

Sad thing is, after those three, there's really no one deserving of the NFC spots. Maybe Romo for almost 4500 yards, but who after that?

[Lurker64]

Of the six QBs who are going to play in the Pro Bowl this year, only two really deserve to be there (Rodgers and Schaub). Roethlisberger, Palmer, Brady, and Rivers all elected to pass in the AFC (and Manning has something else to do), so joining Matt Schaub will be Vince Young and David Garrard.

Has Favre officially dropped out of it yet? If he really intends to retire, he might just play - ankle injury or not. At least that way his last pass won't be a pick.

Or.....maybe it would.

What, DBs aren't allowed to intercept passes in the Pro Bowl?

It would be his chance to make the last meaningful pass he throws for four different teams be an interception... That's got to be a record.

If it keeps Rodgers from starting, I could see him playing for the first time in years.

Favre got his ass kicked up and down the field on Sunday. There is NO WAY he is playing in the probowl. A-Rod will be the starter for the NFC.

Are you serious? OMG!

Are you serious? OMG!

All the more reason not to watch the pro bowl.

I'd be fine with Arod too - but don't
EVER underestimate Brett Favre ! ! !

I think his last official pass as a Falcon was also an INT...

His first NFL pass was an INT TD... not sure about his last as a Falcon.

He's out and Romo's in.

Given that the Cowboys staff is coaching, will Rodgers actually get the start, or will it be Romo as the staff favorite? Are there any rules about who starts when so many have pulled out?

I thought Brad Childress's staff will be coaching the pro bowl. Doesn't it go to the runners up in the championship games, so it will be Childress vs. Rex Ryan in a complete contrast of coaching styles?

[packers11]

the probowl rosters suck! lol

look how many people aren't going... (including woodson, probably his shoulder injury)

No...it was already announced that Wade Phillips would be coaching the NFC. Not sure about the AFC.

[Zool]

Its Romo replacing Favre and McNabb replacing Brees.

Ah, they changed the rule this year so it's the "coaching staff of the team with the best record that is elminated in the respective conference's divisional round". So this year it's the Chargers staff vs. the Cowboys staff, which means it will be a battle of incredibly mediocre coaches.

The worst is the AFC QB situation. Down to the number 6 QB out of 16 teams. That isn't much of an all-star roster, just an all-kind-of-good roster.
