Brady beat out Green for the Pro Bowl?

blsilks · 08:07 AM

Trent Green beat Tom Brady in everybody passing category up to this point of the season. The only reason Brady got in is because of the ****ing media and their "Brady is the next Joe Montana" stories. Brady is no Montana. Montana at least lead the NFL in a few passing stats at times. This whole thing just stinks. I WANT A RECOUNT!!!

It doesn't surprise me that the QB of one of the best teams in th NFL made the Pro-Bowl.

But what is absolutely shocking is the complete lack of recognition Green gets for his accomplishments on the field.

Entering this season (and may still be) No on had passed for more yards over the last 3-years.

He has led an offense that, for the last three years, has been 1st or 2nd in total offense and scoring--NO OTHER OFFENSE CAN SAY THAT.

His selection last season was actually a surprise to some given the above FACTS.

I don't get it. Guys like Culpepper, Mcnair and even plummer would be getting Major recognition if they had the resume that Green has put up.

This just proves that "its not how you play but who you lay".

Apparently, somebody over at cbs sportsline agrees...as do I...

Quote:

Kansas City quarterback Trent Green. Quick, now, name the only active AFC quarterback to complete three consecutive seasons with a passer rating of 90 or above. OK, there isn't one, but there will be at the end of this year -- and it's not Peyton Manning. It's Green, who will pass 4,000 yards this weekend and whose 99.1 rating is third in the AFC, behind Manning and Drew Brees. The problem with the Chiefs isn't Green or the offense; it's a defense that over the past eight games surrendered an average of 438.7 yards a start.

I would've thought TWO threads on this exact topic would be enough, but I guess three is the charm...

It sort of like the Gold Glove in baseball. It's suppose to be about the defense a player plays, but more often than not, a guy's offensive stats come to bare.

I think it is actually 3 or 4 maybe.
But, i just couldn't help but chime in on this one as well.

Yes Green has the numbers, but the Pats have the numbers in the win column.

He got looked over last year. I give him props.

The Probowl is a crock. No one gives a rat's butt about it.
I tune in sometimes thinking, "I have to watch because this is the last football until the draft" only to be completely disappointed in it every time. It would be nice for Green to make it but IMO, the NFL should do away with the game and name an All Pro team. That way they could honor all the players that really deserve it.

Uhhh... I think that is what they do now...

This does not surprise me any! Just like it has been said over and over, its the our losing record that hurt Green.

Yes and of course Brady is the NFL media Darling

They do an All Pro team? Cool. Learn something new everyday. Guess that shows how much attention I pay to that stuff which I guess is why they play the dumb game. Oh well, the Probowl still sucks.

blsilks · 12-23-2004, 09:21 AM

My bad. I applogize to everybody. I didn't know that the Pro Bowl players were picked based on their team record and not their performance. I guess I should start protesting all of the Chief Probowl picks. Perhaps the entire Patriots team should be in the probowl along with the Steelers.

Brady and the Pats are 12-2, Trent and the Chiefs are 6-8. That's Why!
