ESPN "Did You Know" fact of the day (Commanders)

[the kid 05]

Again -- that's pretty much what I have been saying: the Pro Bowl is a nice thing to hang your hat on, but should not be the determining factor in who is and who isn't good.

Case in point: Tomlinson in 2003: 1643 yrds rushing, 100 rec 725 yrds receiving, 17 TDs (total). Did not go to Pro Bowl.

well the AFC was knee deep in Running back talent that years starters for the pro bowl were

Priest Homes - 282 carries 1315 yards 22tds
Jamal Lewis - 338 acarries 1747 yards 11 tds
Clinton Portis - 290 carries 1591 yards and 14 tds
LT - 313 carries 1645 yards and 13 tds.

something to note though is there records:

Cheifs- 13-3
Ravens- 10-6
Broncos- 10-6
Chargers- 4-12

In 2005, Warrick Dunn made it over Clinton Portis...even though Portis carried the Commanders to a 10-6 record, a wild card appearance. Dunn's Falcon's were 8-8.

Well, one:



I'm not saying it's a good thing, I just don't care. It's a stat for people like you and Sonnyboy to point fingers. Enjoy.

So basically you have NOOOO explanation as to why Prior Probowl players goto your team and NEVER make the probowl again???...just so I understand you are stating once a player comes to your team he doesn’t get votes anymore or his play decreases of he does not have enough friends anymore who wish to vote for him????...pick one

You caught me, I don't have an explanation. Congrats. You caught me. Whoop-dee-doo.

 

[dallasfaniac]

I think the explanation has nothing to do with the Commanders, but everything to do with Snyder. He was gambling on player's past performance and their 99 rating in the last year's Madden, when other teams steered clear. If they had taken the bite, the players still wouldn't have returned.

[AdamJT13]

i think adamsJT pointed out that Hamlin was the beneficator of Taylors death as that allowed him to make the probowl, so they had Taylor at FS

No, Hamlin made the Pro Bowl as the backup safety. Roy was an alternate, and he was added because Taylor was dead. (Even though Taylor was a free safety and Roy is a strong safety, the alternate who gets added is the one with the most votes, no matter if he's a strong safety or a free safety.)

Roy might have made it anyway, even if Taylor had never been shot, because Taylor was injured when he was shot and might have skipped the Pro Bowl (or been unable to play even if he wanted).

who is in your top 3 then?

Always seems to happen whenever that question is asked ..... or the person names off a bunch of Free Safeties and argues its the same position.
