JoKeR Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Freeman, Wayne, Luck, Allen, Mathis, and Bethea all have a good shot at making the Pro Bowl this year based off the stats. Freeman IMO has the best chance. He and Mayo have over 100 tackles, everyone else has 85 or less. Freeman has 2 sacks, fumble, int( and a TD). In comparison to the other AFC ILBs, he and Mayo look like beasts.http://www.nfl.com/probowl/ballot*Hilton is not listed in WRs but in KR, Avery is listed as the WR instead, which I don't agree with. Allen is listed as a FB, which gives him a great chance to make it. Mathis has a outside chance, he needs to get some more sacks and fumbles. he won't get it with tackles, 4-3 OLBs double his.

BleedBlu8792 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I don't see Bethea making it. He's been a huge disappointment this year. However, the majority of the voting is just name recognition so he may get in because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKeR Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Wayne gets in with receptions obviously, Luck will have the yards possibly, and Freeman with 101 tackles and counting. I'm seeing a common theme, these aren't flashy stats IMO. instead they indicate consistency and players who put the team on their backs. Of course the eye test confirms this ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Wayne and McAfee deserve it. Luck "might" get in on a popularity contest level. Freeman is playing at a high level would get that consideration if he were say.. Freeney.Mathis.. maybe, every game he's in so far he's had a sack.. (I think)I hate the Pro Bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the majority of the voting is just name recognition so he may get in because of that.He has a decent amount of tackles, none of the FS have great INT or fumble stats, he has a 50/50 chance IMO.

That's an extra 7 points every sunday.He's been pretty much Houdini on the field and some of the mistakes he's made this year are very uncommon of him (blown assignments - Jags game - and very poor tackling -Jets game-). I'm a big fan but this has been a very down year for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJACKCOLT Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Wayne for sure.Freeman definetly deserves it,but will probably get snubbed because,he is not getting recognition from the national media. He should be a starter and mentioned in the defensive player of the year talk.I wonder is he eligble for defensive rookie of the year or are first year players not considered rookies. Allen has a shot since he is considered a fb on the ballot.Luck could be considered if he puts up big numbers in the next couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funktacious2 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Wayne will get it for sure. Freeman may get it thanks to his stats, and Luck may get it thanks to popularity and a good rookie campaign. If Cam Newton can make the Pro Bowl in a conference with guys like Rogers, Brees, E. Manning, Stafford, Ryan, then I think Luck could get in. I don't know when they stop voting or announce winners, but I think he CAN do it especially if he breaks the rookie passing record.

The Peytonator Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I picked Wayne, Allen, and Freeman.Since most people will just look at the raw numbers NFL.com provides, Allen won't beat out Marcel Reese or Vontae Leach (name-based selection). Wayne gets in for sure, not a better WR in the AFC save for AJ Green. Freeman might not have the name recognition to get in, but he deserves it.No way you can justify picking Bethea over Weddle, Byrd, and Reed. Sorry but Bethea is not a game changer. He's solid, but he doesn't make big plays. Also couldn't pick Mathis over Miller, Houston, and Woodyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Wayne will make it, and Freeman has a 50/50 shot. One guy who springs to mind after watching all the Colt games is Joe Lefeged as a ST player. He's on the ballot, but I have no idea what his chances are...

betheafan41 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 when it comes to the pro bowl, fans go for the more popular names to be in it . that is why i dont see luck being in it.

PMan Escape Plan Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Now Ive lived in Honolulu for 5 of the last 6 years.. I understand what a boost in revenue the Pro Bowl provides for the local economy and how hard Hawai'i has worked with the NFL to continue the Pro Bowl... There are awesome block parties in Waikiki (live music, NFL players/cheerleaders/mascots), sponsored events (Play 60 tournament for kids, Skills competition, celebrity FBall game), etc. Discontinuing the game would be heartbreaking for the people of the state and their wallets...However, I agree with the sentiment that the game SHOULD be done away with.. The game itself is a joke..The NFL should adopt an "all-american"-like system that is used in NCAA...Name an ALL-Pro First Team, Second Team, Third Team, and an all-rookie team, and call it a day..Sorry Hawai'i Nei, but it time to say Aloha Mai Kako to the Pro Bowl as it exists today..

Holden89 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Reggie Wayne is a shoe-in.The only other people I voted for were Freeman and Lefeged (as a Special Teamer, obviously)Freeman stacks up fairly well against the rest of the AFC ILB'sLuck and Freeney are the only other two who even have a shot, IMO.

ViriLudant Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Freeman's stats smoke the Competition except for Mayo.As a Patriots fan, I'd say that Mayo doesn't deserve it. Tackles for an ILB are often overinflated because of their roles, and the fact that they often get assists on tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should someone with less tackles get in??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
