NFL Pro Bowl 2014: Mid-season NFC roster projections
By Mike Dyce
QUARTERBACK
1. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Brees has led the Saints to the top of the NFC South division behind his arm. He has completed 67.5 percent of his passes thrown for 2,290 yards and 19 touchdowns. He has been clearly the class of the NFC quarterback class.
2. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Rodgers is just doing what he normally does in Wisconsin. He has a 108 passer rating, completing 67.1 percent of his passes for 2,191 yards and 15 touchdowns. He has also thrown just 4 interceptions.
3. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
Romo has been playing good despite all the negativity surrounding his interception at the end of the loss to the Broncos. He has 101.7 passer rating, completed 66.1 percent of his passes, thrown for 2,216 yards and 18 touchdown passes. He has thrown 5 interceptions, the same amount as Drew Brees so far this season.
Others in the race:
Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions
It was hard to leave Stafford off the list given his stats and numbers this season. Ultimately he has a sub-100 passer rating and has thrown 338 passes. Neither of the other three have even thrown for over 300 and their numbers are comparable.
