Aaron Rodger over Dak in Pro Bowl is Ridiculous

[John813]

I'm surprised the players care about pro-bowl honors as much as they do. Being a pro-bowler doesn't prove validation, like it used to.

Some contracts have ties to the PB for bonuses.
Richard Sherman's deal had incentives if he made the PB for example.

Wouldn't shock me if more 2nd and 3rd contracts had random incentives like making the PB or AP team.

Then there are the Pro Bowl bonuses. There are hundreds of NFL players with Pro Bowl incentives and/or escalators in their contracts. The difference is that an incentive is earned and paid out in February after the game; an escalator is money added to future-year(s) salaries. For example, the deal I negotiated with Charles Woodson for the Packers has a $1.5-million escalator for salary the year following Woodson’s selection to the Pro Bowl (with a maximum involved). Also, $250,000 that will be added to Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson’s 2011 salary based on his Pro Bowl selection Tuesday.

The incentives range from a few thousand dollars all the way to the Julius Peppers level of $1.5 million (with this incentive now earned, Peppers’ 2009 compensation is now over $18M as discussed here). Dozens of players – and their wives, family and others — anxiously awaited last night’s roll call of selections with their earnings in play.

This thread is funny but is it 15-20 pages funny?

That’s the real question because there’s no question that Rodgers is better than Dak.

Good info. And definitely explains their desire to be a pro-bowler haha. Thanks

Can't remember the last Pro Bowl I watched. I can tell you this though, Tony Romo could still move around pretty good and he looked like he still didn't shave yet.

 

[Bleedblue1111]

Dominique Foxworth is livid about it.

 

[jterrell]

Dak will be in before it is played.

Who cares? Dak can head to Cabo after the season.

I usually don't start post but this really has me pissed. Aaron Rodgers is behind Dak in relatively EVERY Category/STAT they keep for NFL QBs and he beats out Dak for the Pro Bowl. Now I know its sometimes a popularity contest and I know that if its close then you go with the all pro. Maybe its about the winning record, but don't tell me DAK hasn't outplayed Aaron Rodgers this season. I aint crying but this is some BS. Dak has nearly a thousand more yards passing.

Rk Player Team Pos Comp Att Pct Att/G Yds Avg Yds/G TD Int 1st 1st% Lng 20+ 40+ Sck Rate

seriously...we are going to start a thread about pro bowl...the pro bowl!!! really...who gives a craap

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

How about Chris Carson or Dalvin Cook -- both over 1000 yards rushing this season.

Aaron Jones in a nice RB but not an every-down player. He averages 13 carries per game.

Forgot about them and CM and Zeke, they got it right if it is those 4. Have not seen who made it but if those 4 why are people saying Zeke does not belong.

 

[McKDaddy]

generally takes a couple years longer than it should for a guy to make the list then once they get a name they make the list for years after they should.

 

[percyhoward]

Most metrics have Rodgers behind both Cousins and Prescott.

 

[KJJ]

Anyone who follows the NFL knows reputation gets some players voted in over other players despite the season they had. Aaron Rodgers has a reputation. The Packers did beat the Cowboys this season and they have a better team. Rodgers numbers may not be what they usually are but he did have a very efficient season with a passer rating over 100.0. Not beating a team with a winning record until last Sunday and a couple of 3 game losing streaks didn’t help Dak’s cause.

Let him play in Pro bowl, we can see Dak in SB ,hopefully !

I'm sorry, but who?

 

[Tussinman]

LOL at

1. 24 touchdowns with only 2 picks
2. QB rating of over 100
3. 11 total wins with 2 games left

Equaling "living on reputation" and "dak got robbed"


I think this forum has finally lost it's mind

 

[MaaS]

A coherent case could be made for Dak, but saying it's a joke is a stretch. Green Bay is 11-3 and Rodgers has thrown 2 picks compared to Dak's 11.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

26/11 is drastically worse than 24/2.

The talent surrounding Dak is drastically better than Rodgers (especially when Adams was out for awhile).
There are still a couple more guys who deserve it after Rodgers and before Dak.

This thread is a joke.

Are you serious....?

Rodgers has the best OL in the league... and it's not remotely close.

So that means 3 members of their OL is in the Pro Bowl then, right? Oh, wait ....

Lol.
