130 attempts for Vince Young amounts to almost half a season. The guy threw for 200+ yards a total of 4 times all season. He's a playmaker and looked really, really good for a rookie, but he's not Pro Bowl material....yet. I don't think it's a travesty, but it's hard to swallow that a QB with more INTs than TDs, barely more than 2,000 yards, and a completion percentage just above 50% is making the Pro Bowl.
True, I was only using the 130 to get a correlation with Pennington's number's.
Yeah the pro-bowl sucks. This is the first season in years I'm going to watch some of it and the only reason for that is to see if Gore is killing himself in there or not.

Young in Pro Bowl - Nashville, Tennessee - Saturday, 02/03/07 - Tennessean.com (http://tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070203/SPORTS01/702030366/1027)
He had a good year, but he certainly doesn't deserve to go over Chad Pennington, who in my opinion was the main difference between the 4-12 2005 team and the 10-6 2006 team.
Chad Pennington 313/485 64.5% 3352 yards 6.9 yards/att 17 TDs 16 INTs
Vince Young 184/357 51.5% 2199 yards 6.2 yards/att 12 TD 13 INTs
The probowl selection process is becoming laughable.
My sentiments exactly...dont get me wrong with Young in as QB the titans were so much better....but over pennington...come on. The Pro Bowl selection process makes as much sense as the Hall of Fame selection process.

They are opposite types of QB's.
Your stats are misleading because you ommited some important game winning stats/ TD's.
Vince Young had 19 TD's and 13 INT's. He also rushed for 552 yards at 6.7 yards per carry and 7 TD's. Why are going to deny Young's 7 rushing td's, because QB's should only be judged by their passing game? He did earn those TD's. Qb's are allowed to run and it is a nice weapon to have, Steve Young had a great career as a mobile QB.
If you add in ALL of their accomplishments in 2006:
C. Pennington had a TOTAL of 17 TD's & 16 INT's & 109 yds rushing
Vince Young had a TOTAL of 19 TD's & 13 INT's & 552 yds rushing
Plus add that Pennington played in three more games than Young and that Young is a rookie. IMO Advantage : Young

The fact that you're a rookie has nothing to do with the pro bowl. Vince Young made it over Tom Brady too. No way that should have happened.

young making it over those other guys is a joke,having said that,I'll probably watch the probowl now because I love seeing what vince can do
not to high jack, but rexi what is your take on irvin over monk?
Monk should probably be in by now. But Irvin is more deserving than Monk IMO. He was the more dominant receiver. He nearly matched all of Monk's numbers in fewer seasons.
