Maybe so.
I was comparing All Pro to Pro Bowl....where sometimes the 15th best QB might the team, for example.

All Pro is a different level. Whether is players or writers doing the voting.
Fair enough. I don't think anything that consists of fan voting can ever be considered more than a popularity contest. Some sportswriters and broadcasters at least consider themselves to be objective. I just know that if some of the idiots that members here post videos of have a vote, I would not trust their objectivity. Of course, I would think players are more likely to vote for who they have played against than those they have not faced.

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.

Interesting. So last I saw many consider Mahomes to be one of the best of all time or on that trajectory at least….he did play this season right?

These guys sat out so much this year their stats would’ve been even more impressive if not for missing those 4th quarter of games.

Amazing that Aikman nor Staubach never made 1st AP all pro team. Drew Pearson made 3 and still had a hard time getting into the HOF, Michael Irvin only made it once. The tide must be turning on voting Cowboys in.

It’s a good point. How do you have 3 offensive linemen make it but a running back not sniff it?
could it be he really isnt good? coming off a nasty injury, could it be he wasnt the same guy? could it be that he never was the guy to begin but was a great change of pace back? still got over 1000 yards. what will be damning is when the cowboys move on from pollard after this season.

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.

Possible. But I’ve seen him get hit in the backfield. I’ve seen Terrence Steele play terrible. So who knows.

Not saying you're wrong, personally I think they could have Watt, Parsons, or Crosby there and I woulnd't argue about any of them. Parsons is probably the best pure pass rusher in the game, but I think he gets knocked down a notch in voting because of his run defense.

Wow Micah 2nd team…..use that as your motivation big boy for these playoffs!

And Zach, God love him, did not deserve 1st team again folks. Flame away. Tyler is a monster but congrats for 2nd team.
Eh...it may be Zach's last year on this list.

Tyler....I said he had all pro potential at G when we drafted him.....didn't expect it in year 2 though!


Can anyone explain how he makes all pro but not the stupid pro bowl? lol
