Looking forward to the ProBowl

[KJJ]

I get it. I just think it takes away some of the meaning when the 8th best player at his position makes the Pro Bowl. Also, does Luck get credit for declining a Pro Bowl offer? If not, it makes it meaningless when Andy Dalton has more Pro Bowl appearances than Luck, or Brady for that matter (who's usually never eligible for the Pro Bowl since he's likely playing in the Super Bowl).

A replacement player only gets credit for making the Pro Bowl if they play in the game. That's one catch to try and get them to play in the game because if they do accept the invite they'll have a Pro Bowl on their record which means a lot to players. Making a Pro Bowl team is a skin on a players wall. The players that get voted into the Pro Bowl such as Brady who didn't play in the game because he's preparing for the SB or a player who declines to play in the game because of an injury still gets credited for making the Pro Bowl.

A player like Dalton who was a replacement may "play" in the Pro Bowl more than Brady or Luck but he won't have as many Pro Bowls on his resume because he didn't get voted in as many times as they did. It takes away from the game to have replacements for players who got voted in but that's been going on for years. I mentioned Dan Marino only played in one or two Pro Bowls but was voted in a number of times.

Agreed, Luck went 8-8 and missed the playoffs. My playoff comment was based on the year before. I guess flip a coin. Phillip Rivers was 4-12 this year and was voted in over Luck. Or luck simply declined. IDK.

Looking at the stats between Luck and Rivers it was real close but I would say Luck had a slightly better year based on a higher passer rating and his team won 4 more games than the Chargers. Luck may have gotten the nod and declined or they chose Rivers because this would be the last time he would represent the San Diego Chargers on the field with them moving to LA next season. That could have been the deciding factor but regardless Rivers is one of the better QBs in the league that fans would pay to see. I would certainly rather watch him sling it than an Alex Smith or an Andy Dalton who were replacements.

Didn't watch the game (got a life), went to see Rogue One with my brother..................excellent movie!!!

I see Garrett lost again........LOL.........Didn't he lose the Senior Bowl as well last year?

cant win playoff games, cant win Senior Bowl, cant win ProBowl...................dam, that is just sad.

He 'won' this game two years ago

Witten has been a replacement 4 times, he's credited with being a 10 time PB.

Didn't know that. Good info. I just figured Brady would have 2 Pro Bowls and Dalton would have 12 when it's all said and done.

That would be one terribly screwed up system allowing a QB like Dalton to have more Pro Bowls on his resume as a replacement and not credit Brady for being voted into the Pro Bowl just because he couldn't play in the game due to preparing for the SB or because he opted out with an excuse.
