I thought you were a Packers fan?
Your right, It should have been Jennings. Driver is having a bit of an off year, but TD catches aren't everything.

Driver went because he's built such a reputation for himself over time; And, as evidenced by the fact that 11 Cowboys made it and only 4 Packers when the 2 teams have had the same record most of the year, The Pro Bowl has a lot more to do with popularity (the fans votes) and reputation (the coaches, players votes) than who actually deserves to go from year to year. I agree with you that Jennings is having the better year; Although Driver having only 2 TD's is not the sole measure of the season he's having - He's still the one of the best receivers in the game for yards after catch and THE BEST for yards after contact.
Charles Woodson and Mason Crosby should also have made it for the Packers if the Pro Bowl selections were truly about impact/productivity in the current season only...
Go Pack Go!

Actually, Driver spoke on this. why don't you check it out on the packers site.....
anyway, Jennings has had a bigger year then Driver, but Driver is such and underrated WR's as is. He makes the catch and gets the yrds afte the catch. not a lot of receivers can do that dude. He is 1 of the very few. I don't think you could go wrong on him and Jennings. Jennings will be there next year. From a veteran pt of view, even though Driver doesn't have the TD #'s, he has the name and stats overall. He has been taking a lot pressure off of Favre because CB's know that Favre to Driver is a huge combination. Jennings has help with that a lot this season. He has had a great season and should have gotten a 1st pick as Alternate but im not so sure about actually being # 1 pick. but like I said. you can't go wrong with either dude. But to let you know, it's not all about TD's. Jennings can catch the ball and get TD's. Driver catches the ball and get 1st down while taking time off the clock.

I'm not sure of the real reason but if it were my choice i would have picked him. He may not do well in the end zone but hes good at going long into the middle and isn't afraid to jump high in the air if it was polamalu next to him and urlacher behind him. The dude refuses to let his QB down. And overall the guy can catch. may not be the best at catching but he is good. Im glad he went. Also he always does that spin move and pick up those important YAC.

Stats are overrated and misleading (except DVOA).
Go watch a friggin game and evaluate instead of just looking up his stats online. The Pro Bowl is not the fantasy league all-star team--it's a bunch players who play friggin well. He isn't the Randy Moss type that is a TD machine--he works underneath and gets YACs.

Well I will have to say that he probably went because Bret Favre will probably be playing in his last Pro Bowl. Everyone, or at least the powers that be, would probably want him to throw his last NFL pass to his favorite receiver. I know, it's all for nostalgia and NFL storydom, but who besides me thinks that the Saint's Colton was robbed? Yeah, that's what I thought. I am a Bears fan but I am thrilled with the season that Favre is having. I also think that Jennings should have went instead, but Bret Farve's last pass to Jennings doesn't quite complete the fairy tale season/career, now does it?

I definitely agree. Greg Jennings showed to everybody that he is Brett Farve's number one target along with tight end Donald Lee. Driver was there, but never really impressed. He is still good.

If they would have been covering Jennings like Driver he wouldnt even have 2 TD's!!!!!!!!!!!!!1Driver was the second in the league last year in recieving yards....He demands respect....I would like to see a record of most yards gained after the catch by recievers just to see where Driver would stand>>>>>>>>>The dude is TUFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Donald Driver isn't a big TD guy, but he gets yards and knows how to pick up a lot after the catch. He breaks tackles and has some truly spectacular moves that you don't see out of most. And on top of that, he does have Brett Favre throwing to him.

Because he's the #1 in the Packers offense, not Jennings.
Willie Parker has 2 TDs too, but he deserves it more than anyone else whose name is not LT.
