PFF Pro Bowl Selections (7 Cowboys)

[rags747]

Romo not attending is real BS, really hope he gets his ring this yr.

Man I love to see anti-PFF heads explode all over this board

No Tony Romo? Who is playing better than Romo? Rodgers, okay. Stafford? That's two. Romo doesn't get at least three or does the Pro Bowl only vote two quarterbacks?

Stafford is having NOWHERE near as good a year

I think # 9 should be in also but I think it's only 6 QB's selected if I'm not mistaken. I don't think Stafford is playing better than him. Rodgers yes.

What I also do know is that it doesn't go by conference anymore.

# 9 has the 2nd best rating at 110.4 only to Rodgers at 111.2.

But you got:

Aaron Rodgers
Peyton Manning
Andrew Luck
The Rapistberger
Tom Brady
Drew Brees (Yardage TD's are better, 12 INT's worse)

Drew Brees is the QB Romo would have the best chance of beating out who arguably has better numbers because of such a high amount of passing yards in comparison.

So that's where Romo has his gray area. But what a season #9 is having eventhough he missed a full game and is playing with multiple injuries.

 

[Staubacher]

Romo has amazing statistical years Romo doesn't get in because his team isn't winning.

Romo's team wins but others get in because of stats?

That there is an anti Romo/Cowboy bias my friends.

Yup. And Brees at 6-8 is spun as him finding a way to keep his team competitive while Romo 8-8 was he's not a winner

The problem with PFF is the way they weight things. The raw data is OK. The grade points they award based on that raw data has no apparent tie to impact on the result of the game.

A great example of this is Romo's week 5 game against the texans. Romo went 28/41 for 324 yards 2 TDs and 0 INTs. He also made two huge plays. Once he dodged Watt and threw a 50 yard pass TD to T Will. He also completed a huge pass to Dez Bryant will under duress to set up the game winning field goal.

PFF awarded him +2.4 for passing and -1.9 for penalties. His overall grade for the game was therefore 0.5.

Also this one is a classic. PFF assigned Eli Manning a top 5 QB grade with an 18/33 163yards 1TD 2INT stat line:

Highlights:

While he certainly didn’t look comfortable during the preseason (-9.7 overall), and Monday night’s game isn’t one he’s likely to fire up to show the grandkids someday, his performance wasn’t as bad as his 4.9 yards per attempt and 53.0 passer rating would indicate.

To start, he had multiple dropped passes that would have moved the chains, and in total he “lost” 40 yards due to drops

On his two interceptions:

While the throw was a bit of a panic move, it still took a great play by linebacker DeAndre Levy and a freak bounce to turn an otherwise harmless incompletion into a turnover. The second interception was worse, though Manning didn’t get much help up front as he had pressure in his face in 1.8 seconds on a deep, 7-step drop. Still, he panicked again and lofted an ill-advised pass toward Victor Cruz that was intercepted by Glover Quin.

They forgot Romo

 

[percyhoward]

About half the people responding in this thread are under the impression that it's about the actual Pro Bowl.

 

[cowboys2233]

I believe it is only the PFF staff themselves.

So...the PFF staff doesn't watch football?

 

[JohnsKey19]

Just curious. ....did they explain their picks with numbers or any type of reasoning? There really is no stat or intangible that Romo doesn't rank top 3 in as a QB this season. It's quite obvious. Excellent numbers, 4th quarter comebacks, playing through injury, winning team...you name it.

I think the idea is to get you to go to their website for the explanation.

Agreed. They usually will try to have a player or two that never makes the Pro Bowl included so it provides some sort of attention to their analysis.

But that said, overall, Ryan gets a lot more respect than Romo has. Why I have no idea.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Just to be clear so nobody gets confused, these are the probowl picks of PFF, not the actual NFL probowl list..............that will come out in the near future.

Why does this thread even exist then? lol

 

[Ashwynn]

No Tyron Smith?

Thats the first thing I said when I read the list.

Just amazing that anyone takes PFF seriously at all

 

[DWhite Fan]

Fredrick, Smith, and Martin all should be 1st teamers...

 

[greatwallofdallas]

No Cowboy will be available to play regardless. They'll be getting ready for the Super Bowl .

 

[AdamJT13]

The raw data is OK.

The "raw data" is just some fans watching TV and trying to grade every single player on every single play when they don't even know what each player is supposed to do. Combine that with a terrible way of combining that data into overall grades, and you get PFF. It's laughable that some mediots actually cite PFF as a source for evaluating players' performance.

 

[Gameover]

6 of those guys Jones additions? They really dont like Romo. How could he not be a PBer this year?

And why is Witten even an alternate? Position that weak in NFC?
