As always, there will be a lot of names that shouldn't of made it due to reputation. There is also a lot of players who were deserving of a spot, but due to lack of media attention, they were not voted in. 

 

Here is a list of my biggest snubs/surprises. 

 

 

Snubs:

 

Giants WR Odell Beckham JR

Eagles DE Fletcher Cox

Packers RB Eddie Lacy

Cowboys CB Orlando Scandrick 

Panthers OLB Thomas Davis

49ers SS Antonie Bethea

 

Surprises:

 

Broncos OT Ryan Clady

Steelers ILB Lawrence Timmons

Broncos SS TJ Ward

Broncos OLB DeMarcus Ware

FB John Kuhn

deandre levy harrison smith everson griffin terrance knighton matt forte nick fairley 

 

LOL Nick Fairley had a turrible season. If Nick Fairley goes to the pro-bowl, then Ricardo Mathews should too.

 

Agreed on DeAndre Levy.

 

I was also going to say Sheldon Richardson and Ryan Kerrigan big snubs.

Snubs:

 

Russell Wilson

He's got a SB ring, an American Family Insurance commercial endorsement gig, & he's about to be paid handsomely in his 2nd contract. I don't feel sorry for the guy at all. I'd snub him too actually. 

 

It's petty & stupid I know, but I'm still ticked off at him for beating the Broncos in the SB last February. Bleep him.

You do make a valid point NFLfan. Not too many Vikings players get represented in the NFC other than RB AP. Hopefully, that will change in a few years under the Mike Zimmer regime. 1 of my most liked coaches.

We are very happy with Zim. It won't be too long before my QB will make the Pro Bowl too. :D

Not including Packers RB Eddie Lacy on that ProBowl list does make me raise an eyebrow MTC. I won't lie about that.

 

I don't get preoccupied with yards per carry, but just how backs deliver the blow, use leverage to their advantage, & always keep their legs churning. Eddie's a sledge hammer man. I love the guy! 

 

I'd love to have Lacy in INDY & so would Denver too...Montee who? Okay, that was cruel. My bad. LOL!

Ha! That sounds like a drink at a bar. Give me an long island iced tea, a jello shot, & top it off with a shot of Zim thanks. Your QB is gonna be a star under OC Norv Turner too. Book it.  :thmup:

Is the Devin Hester WR experiment officially done? What I'm getting at is this: In Chicago & Atlanta, both coaching staffs toyed with idea of seeing if his hands were any good to complement his fast speed. 

 

Given that Hester is in as a return specialist, I guess that answers my own question eh? Yep, he's done at WR, but I must confess that both Bears & Falcons games put me to sleep. I can't watch either team now & the Bears haven't been relevant since 1985. Let's get real here.

I have seen TE Greg Olsen interviewed several times on TV. He's a sharp guy, well spoken, & I wish he would get more media attention in NFL circles. Greg is very NFL savvy too. You can just tell that he eats, sleeps, & breathes football man. I feel bad for the guy being on 2 teams that just were never good: Chicago & Carolina. I'd like to see him on say GB's roster or even the Giants roster. I know; I know it will never happen. 

 

I'm a little surprised Saints TE Jimmy Graham made it given how New Orleans had an off year & I wouldn't have given him the nod of approval this season. I'm not a stat guy so please don't throw numbers at me validating his selection. He just didn't impress me enough to go to Hawaii that's all.

I've always had a fondness for small 5-11 safeties like San Diego's Eric Weddle who always jars the ball loose & hits you like a missile. The Chargers are very, very dangerous. That overtime victory against the 49ers was incredible! 2 4th down conversions...Jesus...That was amazing. Darn, Philip Rivers is good. 

 

Plus, Eric looks like he has a few screws loose in his head...Mandatory for a bloodthirsty safety. Don't believe me? Take a look...That's a complement BTW not a slam.

I though they got the wrong Broncos...

Ryan Clady has not been at top form and TE Julius Thomas has missed much of th3e 2nd half.

Denver's Emmanual Sanders had a very good year,

I cant explain how Odell Beckham isn't there with all the publicity he's had playing in NYC...any thoughts?

There shouldn't be any fullbacks on the team. This isn't 1985

He is an alternate (Maybe even first). So he got some good voting. Probably has to do with him not playing the first few weeks, it being hard for rookies to get in, and there just being some great receivers.

I was surprised that Graham did put up 10 TDs with all the time he missed due to injury. I think the whole Saint team played poor most of the season. (That don't upset me in the least) It seems like most the teams have two TEs now and one don't stand out as much as in the past. Gronk is the exception to the norm. I think you are correct with Olson being under rated.

Antoine Bethea was on Bill Simmons' All Pro team....FWIW. Simmons went on to say that Bethea was one of the few 49ers that could hold his head high after their bad season...and "ask Colts fans how they feel about him leaving, after they stop crying" (I'm paraphrasing). I do know the Colts should have tried to hang on to him, but Delano Howell got injured early and he was supposed to take over. Man I would give anything to have him back right about now
