Pro Bowl Selections

[amfootball]

Here is the complete list of pro bowlers, http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/192952/2016-nfl-pro-bowl-selections

 

QBs:

AFC

Brady

Ben

Dalton

 

NFC

Newton

Rodgers

Wilson

 

Carolina leads with 10 selections. Pats had 7 selections.

 

So, who do you feel was snubbed?

[Cynjin]

I think most here will say that Pat McAfee was deserving.  Arguably, the best punter in the game.  I am not sure if they included his kickoff prowess in their decision making.

Dalton was snubbed.  Your list is missing Carson Palmer.

You are right. So 4 NFC QBs went and only 2 AFC? I thought it was always 3 and 3?

 

And Dalton should have gotten in over Ben.

I thought the same, then checked the full stats-

Hekker far deserving, Koch, I can see why they chose him.  And it shows how bad our special teams is on returns compared to other teams.

 

I only wish AV didn't miss his very first two FG attempts.  He has not missed since.  But the other Kickers were even better.  What a shame... Not a Single Colt was pro bowl caliber this year.  Sums up the season thusly.

Dalton will be there unless the Bengals make the Super Bowl. He is the first alternate. At least one of those voted in will not be there.

Brady never goes

True. He is usually playing in the Super Bowl which may be the case this year again.

No,   he's not usually playing in the superbowl.  He has missed the Super Bowl more often than he has played in it.   Also,   until a few years ago,   playing in the superbowl didn't keep you from playing in the pro bowl

If they decided this year to break it down according to the best performing QBs than only Brady should have gone from the AFC. The other 5 should have been NFC IMO.

It kept him from it most recently in 2011, 2014 and probably this year too. So yeah, Dalton will get to play if his thumb is better.

He hasn't played in the pro bowl since 2004

[amfootball]

Was the most pleased to see Malcolm Butler make it. If all that guy ever did was intercept Wilson to win the Super Bowl that would have been enough but to see him emerge as a legit corner, now pro bowler is truly awesome and one of the best stories of the Pats season this year IMO.

Lol no

 

He's just too full of himself to attend something beneath him.  Plus he can't really cheat in the pro bowl so there is that.  That alone should take him from the throne of the top QB echelon of all time.  

 

On a side note... I love doing this.  No wonder you spit nonsense all the time.

[ViriLudant]

Surge, it's posts like yours that make us Patriot fans even happier .  Such illogical "thoughts" just prove how much you haven't actually kept up with anything.

You do realize that it's never even been proven that Brady has done anything remotely wrong, correct?

It's posts like yours that certainly make us laugh, though.  Thanks !

[King Colt]

The reason no one cars about this now defunct "game" or exhibition is it is called 'The Pro Bowl" and all players in the NFL are pros.

Not yet but it is being said that this whole fiasco is supposed to go to court in March so I guess we will see what happens at that time.

Did you read the amicus curiae submitted to th court?  It tore DeflateGate to shreds.

As did the MIT professor's lecture at UNH.

That was one of the best, most well-articulated briefs in this whole saga. I am glad it got submitted to the courts.

I have not read that.  Why is there a Court date set for March 3  if it's over with?   Not being facetious,  honest question?

[ViriLudant]

The court trial is about procedure, not about Brady's actual involvement.  It's all about Goodell's ability to punish players .

Yes look at the ratings for the past ten years then get back to me. Sponsors have fallen off like dead flies. The fact that this exhibition is the subject of canceling it every year by sports writers everywhere speaks volumes.  Football with out tackling and hitting means exhibition just like pro wrestling.

It really isn't about that, it's about the procedure the NFL used in Brady's appeal I believe.

 

I've actually somewhat changed my mind on this.  I havn't changed my mind that I believe that footballs where deflated and Brady knew and was involved.  However the NFL screwed up the procedure in the appeal and should have allowed him to question Wells and others.  

 

NFL seems to have a problem conducting fair hearings and have taken the player's union granting Goodell final authority to mean that they can do anything they want.  That is almost true, but they still have to conduct fair hearings which is something they have failed at doing.  

 

I still think Brady did something.  

[Blue Horseshoe]

They completely wrecked the game by not including Super Bowl players, many of which had Pro Bowl worthy seasons.  Also, they wrecked it by changing it to the silly "Fantasy Football for Real" format instead of continuing the traditional AFC All-Stars vs NFC All-Stars format.

I was really looking forward to getting a jersey this year.

I feel like Pat McAfee was snubbed in my opinion.
