Twitter: AP All-Pro Rankings - Nine Cowboys

[JohnsKey19]

GB's KR made 1st Team AllPro. Something to consider this weekend. I doubt if Aubrey gives him any chances on kickoffs, but if Dallas punts, the coverage unit needs to be on point.

Why do people keep saying that when it's simply wasn't an option.

Not every player wants to be a Cowboy. He didn't.

How do you know? Somebody else mentioned it in the thread. Can you provide a link?

Prescott is correctly 2nd team All Pro.

It is a mix of the lack of depth and poor quality at the quarterback position compared with years gone by, the quality of the o-line, defensive stops/turnovers, Lamb as a receiver, soft schedule/awful pass defenses and he has crushed his play against all those bad teams to massage his stats so the poor play against good teams/defenses gets mostly overlooked.

He's vastly overrated in my view yet he fully deserves 2nd team All Pro this season which as previously mentioned, speaks volumes for the state of the quality of quarterback play in the modern game.

I think you could not go wrong this year with Jackson, Prescott or Purdy as All-Pro choices. There's a case that can be made for all three. Purdy probably gets dinged because of the strength of San Fran's running game.

When is the last time the Cowboys had 9 all pros ?

 

[gimmesix]

3 first or second team all pro lineman, garbage run game…….?

An acknowledgement that it takes all five working as one for the offense to operate correctly and that the running backs share some of the blame for the struggles.

Wow

So now Martin has more 1st team all pros than Joe Thomas. That genuinely surprised me.

Granted, Joe Thomas played at a more competitive position-- but still.

He also now has as many as Bob Lilly and Randy White, one more and he will have the most of any Cowboy.

Damn crazy to see Tyron. About to start his 14th game this season and makes 2nd team all pro all in a season in which half this forum was calling for him to get cut or traded.

To be fair, I think this forum has an issue with 7 of the 9 All-Pro players.

Only Aubrey and Anger seem beloved. For now.

My guesses would have been 2007 or 1994 as the closest. After checking, they only had 5 in those years.

Ceedee
Zack
DaRon Bland
Brandon Aubrey

Lol Tyler Smith made 2nd Team but didnt get voted into Pro Bowl

Good for him, All Pro is a much more legit honor than Pro Bowl. It carries more weight for HOF selection

True.

Lamb might be the only one, and it wasn't very long ago ... even earlier this season when some were saying he wasn't a No. 1 receiver.

Martin is washed up. Tyron is broken. Tyler commits too many penalties. Dak ... enough said. Parsons runs his mouth too much and either wears down or disappears. And Bland is only good for interceptions.

Worst All-Pro Team ever.

I thought 2007 too. Nope

 

[Aven8]

Time to win the whole thing! No way we can afford all this!

 

[erod]

But I read right here Zack Martin was slipping. More like nagging injuries and carrying the players on each side of him. Looks like another all decade team and early entry to Canton.

And Tyron is washed up, I've heard.

Honestly I think scheme this year was not good; and I really have my doubts about Solari

 

[1942willys]

The AP All Pro has been for some time the real indicator of who is the best in the NFL.
Pro Bowl is a popularity contest and corrupted by having fans voting

Tyler Smith is very telling; does not make the Pro Bowl but All Pro second team?

 

[Dale]

When is the last time we had this many All-Pro selections between the 1st and 2nd teams?

 

[MarcusRock]

There is no way TJ Watt deserves it over Micah Parsons. Parsons has a better win rate, more pressures, and more than double the double team rate.

You see @aikemirv, this is how you present a gripe. Concise, yet has multiple details to support a case.

 

[Tussinman]

Same with Tyron Smith. 2nd team all pro but no pro bowl.

Sometimes it's hard for lineman to make both when the conference is stacked (nfc lineman was stronger class than AFC). Pro bowl has separate nfc vs afc roster but all pro doesn't so if most of the all pro caliber players are in one conference then it can get cramped pro bowl wise.

For example Tyron didn't make NFC pro bowl but the 3 tackles that did get in (Johnson, Sewell, Williams) all 3 made first or 2nd team all pro

Same with Tyler. He didn't get in but 2 out of 3 of the NFC guards made both pro bowl and all pro and the 3rd (Dickerson) received all pro votes and made pro bowl last year

One note: Rockport has a vote in the All Pro voting.

Haha...Rockport was the one vote not for CeeDee... on a serious note, I bet it was someone from Miami.
