You read that headline correctly. With the Colts win over the Jets today, Jaguars QB David Garrard will be one of the AFC's quarterbacks in this Sundays Pro Bowl. Despite starting off as a 7th alternate, things just bounced the right way for David. Considering Chris and I will be covering the game, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, this is a perfect example of why the Pro Bowl isn't exactly all the NFL hype machine makes it out to be.
Congratulations David.

I’m of two minds right now. Is it a joke? Yeah. But the Jags have gotten stiffed on so many PBs that I’ll take a BS one.

My Boy David G.
Good for him. Sure, he probably isn’t a probowl quarterback, I know. Still good to have two Jags there though.

Haha watch him get sacked 5 times behind a Pro Bowl offensive line

Good Point
If he gets sacked behind a group of five pro-bowlers, I’ll officially admit Garrard sucks. If he throws for 220 yards and two TDs in limited action I won’t be silenced.

this could
This Could be a good test to see if He is the problem or our offensive line or offensive scheme all together. This is a blessing in disguise

If I was a Viking's fan,
I’d be tempted to turn this off. Some of it is good strips from the Defense, but alot of it just sloppy, on both sides. Amazing…
David in the Pro-bowl… wow… Good for him.
By the way
Do you remember that SI.com article whick rankd Nr. 32 the Jaguars backfield???

Brunell did play an important role tonight
He was the holder on the game-winning kick. I’m sure that’s not the way he thought he was going to get to the Super Bowl, but I’m sure he’ll take it.
Yeah
If the Colts will-most of there fans will be triple more arrogant them now…
So let’s go Brunell and Bobby McCray-man we need a gamethread topic. I laugh my butt off with the Hungarian site at the Vikings-Sainst game (That was a sick game by the way-and a very good one; but the refs-oh my…)

this just goes to show...
…how irrelevant the Pro Bowl has become. Especially since it’s now the traveling circus. I remember sitting in the stands for the Pro Bowl the year the Giants beat the Patriots. When the Giants players were announced, they were cheered like they just won a war. The Pro Bowl has gone from an exhibition between the game’s all stars to a game between the best of the rest. Congrats to David, but 7th alternate? Come on now!
hate to say it, but i think the fans have way too much voting power for the Pro Bowl
Sean Jax Beach Bum
Fans only represent 1/3 of the voting
Coaches and players have votes, too. At least it’s better than the NBA, where players who haven’t played a game get voted into the All-Star game.
Not any other way around it without pissing a lot of people off
The whole game needs to be fixed, so people who are voted in actually want to go
Yeah....

Who has to back out?
I know Clark isn’t going now. So that leaves 1 or 2 people that have to back out.
If you've never...
…been in Hawaii for Pro Bowl week, then you have no idea how much crappier the Pro Bowl is gonna be. What happens when the Super Bowl is up north somewhere? Who’s gonna do Pro Bowl week in minus degree weather? Lame.
He was
a third alternate. Still could possibly happen. Unlikely.
I wonder who is after Gates. Probably Miller. The only guy I can see being actually better than Lewis. The other guy that could be above him is Ben Watson; but that would be a popularity vote.
I'm happy for Garrard, and I will pretend that this is him belatedly making it for his great 2007 season.

AFC South
Now has four Pro Bowl quarterbacks. Weird.
wow......
U should see the thread at NFL.com about the players replacing the Saints/Colts players. Out of all the other players, people are extremely upset about David getting the nod to play in the Pro Bowl. Im not upset, but surely everyone can agree here that he does’nt deserve it. Neither does Vince Young. I bet the Pro Bowl will go back to post- Super Bowl action next year.
frankDUBZ aka Frank Silba
personally i dont really think anyone cares that much
fans like when players from their team get voted in, but truly does anyone really watch it? I might watch it cause its before the superbowl, but otherwise i dont
Part of why
it’s before the SB. haha
As for the fans that are mad; what’s Garrard supposed to do. Congratulate the guy. Not like he anything to do with it. In both of the last 2 years he’s been hit more than any other QB in the league and never complained. I wouldn’t mind throwing him a bone.
For all those people trying to get
This guy to loose his starting job…he’s a probowler…can’t take anything away from that, seriously. I don’t care how he got there, he got there!!!
Let’s go Jags…

Isn't that
what they say about the playoffs or winning? Doesn’t matter how you win, as long as you get the W…Doesn’t matter how you(Jets) get in the playoffs, as long as you get in.
