Prescott and Cooper named to Pro Bowl

[G2]

Dak didn’t even make the Pro Bowl because of injury. He literally made the Pro Bowl because one guy from a game is going to the Super Bowl and another guy from the same game is depressed because he’s not going to the Super Bowl.

You do realize that this is how it's always worked, right? Runner up isn't a bad thing.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Yes and players coaches and fans like what he brings to the game to bad the half a dozen glass bowls on this forum cant see what the rest of the league and fans see

It's far more likely that Matt Ryan couldn't cancel his tickets to Tahiti versus any kind of "decision". They likely just go right down the line until someone says yes... but no way to know.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

In the NFC, the Cowboys currently lead all teams with six players on the roster—Ezekiel Elliott, Tyron Smith, Zack Martin, DeMarcus Lawrence, Leighton Vander Esch and Byron Jones.

We would have had 8 if Martin and smith didn’t decline. All that talent. Wooooooooh


Edit- yes I know it’s pretty much determined by fans. All pro is a way better but still

martin dealt with a lot of injuries this year.

Yeah, but he's your bum, whether you like it or not.

There have been plenty bums that have come through Dallas and have lived comfortably on jerrys dime and emotions.

But in the end they are all the same, amounts to squat and wasted years!

Glad they made it and can add it to the resume. 2 time pro bowler and 3 timer in cooper. pro bowl voting is s joke. They should do something about changing it. It’s at the point for s while now. No one cares

Good for Coop and Dak.....well deserved.

The voting isn't the problem. The Pro Bowl itself is the problem. Nothing you can do about people getting voted in.

Lol if you think this means anything, they passed over Matt Ryan for Dak. If you think Dak had a better season then Ryan then you know nothing about football

I never said he did. Or anything remotely like that.

It’s still a probowl nod for a player routinely dumped on for his play on the field. There’s no getting around it. All that can be said is that it’s “meaningless,” which of course is obviously not true.

Hand me down Pro-Bowl.

One thing social media and the internet have taught me ... the loudest most demonstrative segment of the population very seldom are also the smartest and most knowledgeable ... they are just the loudest.

I’d agree with that. The internet becomes a race to the bottom for people who think they’re right the most. There’s little check on whether they’re actually right or not.

 

[HungryLion]

Obviously fan voting goes into the pro bowl. But 2/3 of the votes come from players and coaches.

Somfor Dak to be a runner up. He must have gotten a decent amount of coach and player votes for the pro bowl.

Which tells me that maybe, just maybe, he isn’t the joke/weak link that other teams don’t worry about, like some posters on this board would like people to believe.

 

[silvrNblue]

more validation now for the Pro Dak Crowd.

Annnnnd there it is....dude could win the next 5 SB's and you and your cohorts would still come here and trash him like a garbage man...

 

[silvrNblue]

I'm just getting on, why is it Bress and Thomas aren't going to attend?

 

[Doomsday101]

Happy for both guys. I likely was not going to watch the Pro bowl now have a reason to tune in. lol

I’m sure they’re disgusted by being robbed of a Super Bowl appearance and don’t care to market the league right now.

They should've done this when other teams got screwed. It was all fun and games when the Dez non-catch happened....but when it personally effects you then its a problem.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Good for them!

 

[lostar2009]

Why Drew decline the pro bowl?

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Yeah, I can understand not being in the mood to play a game for the NFL right now. Don't blame them at all.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

The amount of Cowboys fans being triggered by their QB making the pro bowl.

Proves that the Anti-Dak crowd will be against him no matter what he accomplishes. Either by boosting up a QB for another team or by saying that Dak is "carried". And then will actually get angry at fellow Cowboys fans for showing support or love to Dak.
