The Pro-Bowl teams were announced today and I have one question.
Michael Vick?
Vick is the 13th highest rated quarterback in the NFC (27th in the entire league)! Let's compare, shall we?
Vick is 10th in passing yards, 11th in TD passes and 11 other starting QB's have thrown fewer interceptions.
Compare his numbers with Drew Bledsoe:
Team record of both teams: 8-6
Last year: Dallas 6-10 Atlanta 11-5
Bledsoe: 437 passes.................................Vick: 337
Bledsoe: 267 completions........................Vick: 183
Bledsoe: 3188 passing yards...................Vick: 2136
Bledsoe: 21 TD's.......................................Vick: 13
Bledsoe: 14 interceptions........................Vick: 13
Bledsoe: 61.1% completion pct...............Vick: 54.3
Bledsoe: 86.1 rating..................................Vick: 71.8
If you say he was picked because of his running ability, keep in mind that even if you include his 534 yards rushing, he still generated 564 yards less than the Cowboy QB.
I don't get it.

My point was not so much that Bledsoe deserves to go (although an argument certainly can be made for that). It was about Vick not deserving to go. I agree with the choice of Hasselback and Delhomme, but Bledsoe, Manning, Brunell and Bulger are having better seasons than Vick.
