The 2024 Associated Press All-Pro Team

[MarcusRock]

He missed 7 kicks….

No, bias, I tells ya. Bias!!!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Probably shows how much he earned respect that he even made All-Pro with an 85.1 make percentage. Shows that not everything comes down to stats. I mean, Cameron Dicker had a better percentage going 39 of 41. (Of course, he did miss three PATs while Aubrey missed none.)

Yeah I honestly don’t know how they go about it. But understanding some of his misses were long shots and not about skill is a good look.

 

[Chuck 54]

Clearly that apology letter to the cheerleader whose head got 8n the way of his kickoff hurt Aubrey with the press. Showed he’s soft. Too soft for all pro.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

Shouldn't the highest paid player in NFL history be on the list?

 

[atlantacowboy]

Fletcher Cox based on Cantons history does not make the hall of fame. 6x pro bowl and only a single first team all pro. He's a dime a dozen (he's like best case scenario the 4th best DT from the 2010-2015 era draft class)

Almost every single interior lineman with those accolades have never even made it as a finalist let alone been enshrined (La'Roi Glover, Nate Newton, Jeff Saturday, Olin Kreutz).

Interior lineman is arguably the hardest position to make Canton, even Heyward whose 4x first team all pro and likely to end up with close to 100 career sacks will probably be waiting minimum 3 or 4 years

Cam did nothing the first 6 years of his career until they moved him to DT. He's basically a DE they moved to DT. But, he's still a pass rush specialist so his sack numbers stand out compared to a more traditional DT like Cox who is more of a run stuffer , though his sacks is still very respectable. They are very different players. If I'm building a team with both players in their prime and I need one DT, it's cox. You have to watch the games too. The HOF is not just about number crunching.

 

[Blitzen]

It's Burrow for me.

Me too. He finished just shy of 5k yards. Threw 43 TDs against 9 picks. His defense was the 8th worst in points given up, and the offense scored the 6th most points in the league. With the 3rd worst rushing attack in the league. Team success plays a heavy role in these accolades. Josh Allen did not come close to Burrow, but gets the second team vote because of team success.

 

[Tussinman]

You have to watch the games too.

I have. Heyward has been a top 5 run defense DT multiple times and has significantly more tackles and tackles for losses than Cox. Fletcher is better at taking on double teams straight on, but Heyward is better at getting off the blocks so it's a wash anyways.

Cam did nothing the first 6 years of his career until they moved him to DT. He's basically a DE they moved to DT.

Nothing wrong with that, basically went the Jason Kelce route where your able to drag out this rare long 2nd half career resurgence. If anything, your actually playing up to your 2nd and 3rd contract price which isn't a bad thing.

The HOF is not just about number crunching.

More times than not it is number crunching, especially at positions that have huge log jams. If eye test and Superbowl's where higher value attributes than there would be way more cowboy players enshrined

 

[BoysForLife]

Lamb making 2nd team all pro with one arm and playing with Dak and Rush is incredible

If he was healthy and had a legit qb he would be putting up generational #s

Cee Dee is a warrior

 

[plasticman]

I guarantee you that if La Porta could choose between All Pro and going into the playoffs with the top seeded team, he's fine right where he is at.

Both Bowens and Kittle will be watching him on TV this month.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

Two things for me:

1. KaVontae Turpin's free agent contract negotiations became much more favorable for him. His mother works for the same business I work for. It will be interesting if I can get any tidbits that her son might share with her.
2. I really want to petition the AP to (selfishly) increase wide receivers from three to four selections. I think he is being penalized for the team's quarterback situation this year. The guy was an absolute warrior and produced despite obstacles both getting the ball and his shoulder injury.

Lamb was better than St. Brown this season with absolutely dreadful QB play and nothing else around him.

He should have made that first team.

I mostly agree but I have followed Amon-Ra St. Brown since his second season in the league. He is in the top five at his position in my opinion.

For me, the real injustice is the number of first-team selections are limited to three at wide receiver. On a team as loaded as Detroit, St. Brown has and can dominant all by himself. Guy is the total package.

CeeDee is a better player, but Brown had twice the TDs 12 - 6. Bad qb play reared it's ugly head.

Jason Kelce dragging out a career? He played 13 seasons and made his first PB in his 4th year. He only played two games his second year due to injury. From his 4th year to the end he was PB or AP every year but one. By coincidence, Chip Kelly was the best thing that happened to him, because it was Kelly that got Jeff Stoutland to come to Philly. He didn't drag out a career--he was coached up by the best o-line coach in the game.

 

[Tussinman]

Jason Kelce dragging out a career?

Absolutely. His 30th birthday he had almost 100 games played and was 1x pro bowl with zero all pros.

He goes on to play almost another 100 games and get 6 all pros and 6 more pro bowls. That's unheard of, players peaking at 30+ and STILL playing another 100 games is far from the norm. Heyward just became the oldest DT to ever make first team all pro at 35 and that was arguably Kelces best season ever at that age

I think we have a different definition of dragging out a career. A receiver ten years in that has no speed anymore but needs a few catches for a milestone is dragging out a career, not someone still playing at AP level.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I can see Jackson as first team QB but honestly I think Burrow should have been second team

Statistically Boswell deserved the nod. But let's kid ourselves here. If it is a game winning kick over 60 yards the only kicker teams are really going to be scared of is Brandon. He has made in regular and pre-season 12 kicks over 57 yards.

If not for the stupid delay of game, he would have been the only kicker in NFL history with multiple kicks 65 yards or more made under a league game situation.

 

[Cowboys5217]

No, bias, I tells ya. Bias!!!

Yeah, umm trying for 70 yarders has to be held against him, right?

You guys are unbelievable.

 

[nate dizzle]

Bills only have 1 all pro, Josh Allen. Yet they are the 2 seed in the playoffs. I don't understand how thats possible. I've been lied to on this board.

 

[DuncanIso]

We should be able to sign him for 1 more year.

RFA with a 1st round pick is 6M+

But after 2025, hes gonna walk.
