Pro Bowl= popularity contest

[DallasDomination]

It has little to do with stats or anything that matters. It's all about what people think of you and the reputation you have.


Pro Bowl has lost all credability..

 

[Meat-O-Rama]

So when D Ware gets voted in, it's because he is deserving, but if Newman is left out, it's because it's a popularity contest?

Popularity can be deserved or not. What's your point?

 

[burmafrd]

How do you explain Dware getting in and Hall instead of Newman?

 

[Wrangler87]

Of course it's about popularity. How do you think Vick usually gets in.

It had some?? I mean, it's the worst of the pro all-star games by a mile.

This just in.........Professional football will not utilize the wishbone.

Excluding the US olympic basketball team we field.

D Hall in the Pro Bowl after getting torched every single game for atleast 100 yards or multiple Tds is a joke.

Roy Williams in is also because He's popular. He had a ok first half but He's a liability.

Newman not going is a joke!...Complete and utter JOke!.

Larry Allen?...Sure I guess


T.O leading the NFl in TDs is not even a reserve..Hmmm Yea What ever lol.


D ware...Yea you better put Him in or else This pro Bowl would be considered an even bigger joke.



Look at Vick LAst year?

I dont take this Pro Bowl seriously at all...

On the other hand, I don't think any Commanders even made the Pro-Bowl.

Maybe we can get one of their players cheaper in FA . . . . if there are any worth having

I wouldnt mind Santana moss

 

[random Cs]

Then how do you explain Donald Driver getting in over Owens? :

All they need to do is take away those little stats next to player's names on the ballot.

Well there's you're problem....you should have never taken it seriously to begin with.

 

[TheSkaven]

I'm floored that Terrell Owens didn't make the squad with 11 touchdowns. But I'm pleased in the sense that the combination of that and playing against his old team is going to equal an enormous game for him this weekend. Trust me, he'll be unstoppable.

TO should be a starter....romo shouldnt be in at all....

 

[cowboys19]

Why not?

 

[SaintReginald]

Why not?

nothing against the guy..i think hes done great. hell..the saints tried to get him and i think hed be doing just as good as brees potentially if we had (and thats saying a lot)
but qb rating is a very deceptive stat on the short term. it can be a telling stat over the course of a year but for 8 games i just dont see how a guy can go to the probowl...
Marques Colston had a probowl year before his injury but i dont think he should get in because he didnt play enough games. No disrespect to the cowboys tho. Happy for romo...i love underdog stories...

I agree with your stat theory. I'll raise you a stat....I don't buy into them. What I do buy into is the fact that the kid comes off the bench and this team improves. 10 fold. He's got heart, intelligence and he loves the game of football. 3/4 of the guys going to the PB, lack at least two of the three tangibles listed. To not include him because of "stats" is just plain silly. Put him in there for the reasons an athlete of professional football should be in there. This isn't the old folks football game or a "you must play at least a year to warrant a spot" game. You warrant a spot for the things Romo has done in half the time it took others a full season to do. JMO, of course.
