Lamb, Smith, Micah, Turpin, Aubrey make Pro Bowl

[TheMarathonContinues]

Barkley's average salary, if he sees his full contract is $12.5 million. For 2,000 yards rushing an 15 TD total, I think the Eagles got a bargain.

I can see where McKinney's deal might be too rich for some teams, but 7 INTs is a nice year a for a safety.

Perhaps the Giants need to save the money, but it is still giving up a lot of talent.

Oh Eagles got a bargain they have a great offensive line. But he means more to the Eagles than the Giants. Giants are bad.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Hoffman and Bass are jags. No, they didn't do a better job run blocking than Tyler Smith.

Yeah people say some wild things especially since Hoffman and Bas just stated getting reps lol.

I am scratching my head over some choices.

Washington has 2 guys on the list and they won 11 games already. Someone must have played well for them besides McLaurin and Daniels. How about Frankie Luvu? He has kept them in some games.

I think Mahomes has to be there. He won 15 games this year without his best receivers or RB. I get the Josh Allen pick and I think Joe Burrow is playing really well this year. But Mahomes is the best QB in the league. He is the legitimate tractor that pulls the trailer. It is him then fight it out over the other two choices.

How about the Giants losing Barkley and McKinney to free agency and both are named starters in the Pro-Bowl. 2 3rd round comp picks is not going to make up for that.

I am not as impressed with Cam Jurgens as others. I think he gets a lot of credit for what Landon Dickerson does. Dickerson is the Eagles Zack Martin in his prime. To me Jurgens is solid but unspectacular.

Slam me if you must but I don't think Tyler Smith had a pro-bowl year. He is another player I think is solid but not spectacular. If you asked me to name a better guard, I would have to research it, but watching him this year he just seemed like all the other Cowboys offensive linemen. Kind of lost at times. I am not saying he is bad just not as good as I expected he would be.

He was our best lineman by far (Smith)

Byron Jones had a monster pro bowl season right before his final season in Dallas; but that was a wise pass, as two better CBs were right around the corner

Edit: does Pollard count?

Pollard was tagged but he was never going to get a 2nd long-term deal. In fact, I'm not sure they will ever give another RB a 2nd contract. Zeke may have shut that down. I see them drafting, letting his contract expire and maybe one tag before moving on.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

We agree on a lot but not here........The Giants are a better team with both players than not. The problem was created by extending Danny Dimes (lol) and not upgrading the position via draft or free agency. ( could have had Bo Nix, Penix or JJ McCarthy OR Darnold as a free agent ). Now you have lost two ALL-PRO players and still haven't fixed the QB position. Interestingly I'm reading nuggets the Vikes will likely sign Darnold and trade McCarthy. Man.....Barkely is now everything they thought he would be. Playing with a top QB and OLine has changed his career.

BTW.....he has 2 more years on his current deal ( signed 3-year $12.5M average). I wouldn't play another down under the current deal w/o restructuring that makes me the highest paid @ $20M. ( McCaffrey avg $19M ).

Yeah but at the same time Barkley and McKinney were not All Pros in NY last year. As a matter of fact they were there when they sucked. I’m not insinuating Barkley is a product of the Eagles but no reason to tie up long term deals with those guys. It’s why I was really for them drafting Barkley to begin with. They were rebuilding even then….they were gonna spend his rookie and prime years rebuilding and by the time they actually get good he will be at the end of his career.

Solid players having great years but Giants are a bad team. And I don’t think those two guys and a Sam Darnokd or Penix make them any better.

If they draft Jeanty….he will get one. I think that’s the missing link to this discussion lol. If they draft someone high and he’s a Pro Bowler he will be back. Running back that high? They are gonna treat him like Zeke. Demarco and Pollard were easy to let go because the investment wasn’t high.

 

[KingCorcoran]

I somewhat agree on Cam. I think his cred right now is the offense not taking a step back in places you’d expect by losing a HoF center. It’s that combined with the NFC not having a bunch of Frank Ragnow’s, so who was the definably better center? Solid but unspectacular is enough this year it looks like.

How about this one:

https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/jordan-mailata/66916

Highest graded Tackles this year. Highest graded player this year. One of the highest grades they’ve ever given a player in a single year. 0 QB hits allowed in 798 snaps. Been top 3 in tackle grading for many years now… Zero career pro bowls.

Wasn’t Jurgens drafted in 2022 specifically with Kelce’s forthcoming, inevitable retirement? He was groomed for this moment. He’ll be compared to Kelce, probably his entire career. Since he was drafted in round 2, one year left on his rookie deal. Does Philly have any money left to pay him? He’s going to cost quite a bit. Irony in that he’s going to get his big contract before Linderbaum, his fellow B1G center, also a Pro Bowler, but drafted in the first round.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Tyler Smith making the pro bowl is just nonsense. Hoffman and Bass made more holes in the run game than that guy. He is a fine player but nothing special definitely not something we should break the bank for.

Maybe this helps

Evidently, the Eagles have been in salary cap hell for 9 years running. They’ll re-sign him.

Center I think is the third lowest paid position. JK was the highest paid center in the league at 15m$, we’ll probably get Jurgens for less than we pay Saquon

Good for them.

Speaking of paying Brakley.............if I was him, that 3-year deal I signed averaging $12.5M needs some adjustments. In fact a lot of adjustments (lol), like making me the highest-paid RB ahead of McCaffrey.

 

[gtb1943]

Turpin really has little competition so that makes sense
Aubrey is AWESOME so absolutely
Tyler allowed very few pressures and that gets a lot of good ink
Lamb is a solid pick
Micah meh

 

[Runwildboys]

Considering the overall play of the team, it's nice (and a little surprising) to see all 5 of these guys recognized...Well okay, Smith is the only one that actually surprises me. The rest are in positions that have clear stats behind them.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Any snubs detected?
I believe they got the Cowboys right.

I tell you what, scout the UFL, the Cowboys work wonders from that league.

I could see that Anger should have made it. Not really a snub that he didn't, the punter selected was also very good, but I do think Anger was more consistent.

 

[ryanbabs]

Like how they left out Mahomes because they know he’ll be playing in the Super Bowl.

 

[morat1959]

The participation trophies just keep rolling in. Whoop de do!

Guess, they didn't want the Cowboys STs to take all the spots. I could see Anger snub, but I don't keep up with the competition...I just know he's good.

5 pro bowlers and a bum record like this

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Mahomes has not played well though. Josh and Burrow deserve it more

Not a Mahomes fan, but one thing I would note is that Allen played in a division where the other 3 teams combined for a grand total of 15 wins.

Whereas Mahomes' division foes had 23 wins. Allen had essentially 6 gimmie wins. Mahomes had some real competition.

What is it about the AFC East? For decades one team has dominated year after year, only to be replaced by another team to dominate year after year.
While the rest of the division is laughable. Of course the division does include the Jets, who've quietly become the worst team ever in football. Year after year, decade after decade they are horrible.

Amazing.
