Vote for your favorites! And don't laugh when you see Allen Barbre's name on the ballot!

I found it interesting that Desmond Bishop is listed on the inside linebackers page for the Packers. I think it's because he is also on the ballot for special teams. At least they didn't include Jarrett Bush!

Already got my votes in, 5 times.

Shoot. All the extra crap that nfl.com is trying to cram into their page is freezing my browser, and the ballot never finishes loading. Guess I'll have to wait until it's published somewhere else, or on a website that's better administered than nfl.com. Can anyone tell me if Rodgers is at least on the ballot?

Pretty much, the starting player on every team, at every position, is on the ballot.

I'll be a home and vote Packers. Everyone else does. The PB is a joke anyways.

It's Brees, then probably Rodgers and Brent for the NFC. I just hope Rodgers gets the second place votes and Favor gets the last spot. Brent will get voted just because of who he is, just like last year.

Actually if you go by nfl.com, Rodgers is the #6 passer in the leauge, followed by Brees at #7 and Favre at #8. But I think Brees will be the starter regardless.

Only other shots are Eli, Warner, and Romo. Most of the great signal callers are all in the other conference. Warner and Eli could make it over Aaron soley for what they've done the past couple years.

The Pro Bowl isn't what it used to be, but for the guys who make it for the first time it's a huge honor, and I enjoy seeing those guys get in. But you're right, the game is a joke.

The Pro Bowl is a popularity contest. Period.

Stats don't usually mean too much, recently, it seems.

To me the only players that are worthy upi to this point are Woodson, Rodgers, and maybe Donald Driver.

remember that nfl.com sorts them by total yards, which isn't exactly fair considering that some teams have 6 games and others (including the top 3 passers) have 7 games. When you rank them by yards per game, its sort of a moot point because Rodgers and Brees remain #6 and #7, even though Favre drops down to #14. When you look at QB's ranked by passer rating however, Rodgers climbs up to #2 in the NFL with Brees at #3 and Favre at #6.

Vote for Woodson, Rodgers and Driver! The best shots of making it.

Good point, and I wonder how much of it simply comes down to who's team is winning. That's why I see Brees and Brent getting the edge over Aaron even though #12 is probably the most complete quarterback.

But if we win this Sunday...

Looking at that list of NFC QBs, at least at this point, Rodgers should be in the mix. Brees is a no brainer. Favre will get in because he's Favre, but I also can't say he doesn't deserve it this time around. Rodgers is having a better year than any of the others. Feels good to click on his name and know I'm not just being a homer. I think he'll be snubbed, though.

I'll also vote for Woodson and Driver.

I admit that I'm a homer... I voted all Packers.... even Allen Barbre

And don't look now, but Ryan Grant is making a case for being included with Rodgers, Driver and Woodson. He's #3 in the NFC in yards.

It amazed me how few good RBs are out there this year, especially in the NFC.

I rank Aaron right up there, thats for sure. As far as yards per game, I don't value a QB by that stat at all. Somr times it means he's great, sometimes it means his team has no defense or running game and is forced to throw the ball 50 times a game. Completion percentage is a good barometer, imo.
