2011 Pro Bowl

[DannyColtsBro]

Yes the Pro Bowl is a popularity contest, but I still want to know who got snubbed, and who do you think should have got in. I feel like Bethea, and Griffin got snubbed at FS. Both deserving, even though the int numbers say different. Bethea hasn't been thrown at all this year pretty much. I feel like they should have added another Strong Safety in, T.J. Ward imo could have took that spot. Charles Johnson I feel got snubbed in the NFC too, but like I said popularity contest so I am not that surprised. Logan Mankins is a controversial selection, considering he haesn't played much, but imo he deserves it. That Pats running game kick started when he came back. That's how I feel, what do yall think?

NYG Snubs:
Hakeem Nicks (WR)
Barry Cofield (DT)

O'Hara (played in four games this season, and sucked in all of them) and Rolle should not be anywhere near here.

Brees shouldn't have made it.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that anyone who takes the pro-bowl seriously should be castrated.

These Pro Bowl rosters really piss me off. I now go from not watching it...to never even considering watching it. A lot of players voted in made it b/c of who they are, not what they did, and a way too many obvious snubs.

No Peyton Hillis? What the fuck?

Just glad that my boys calvin and suh made it. Fuck everyone else

It's cause hes white :unsure:

TJ Ward shoulda been in there too, you're right Dannyboy

browns have like 7 pro bowl alternates, we're on our way lol

 

[DJT]

Snubs= Rogers and Hillis. I think those are the biggest.

 

[DannyColtsBro]

I'm still shocked how Meriweather made it.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Who are you gonna put Hillis in over? Really...

 

[elcheato]

Charles... Hillis' 8 more TDs makes up for the YPC.

I'm tired of people overrating Charles.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

What is overrated about him? He's an explosive back. Many people fail to realize that Hillis led the league in fumbles too (waits for Adrian Peterson to be thrown in).

You mean underrating?

Fumbles are going to come with his running style, obviously not what you want but it's hard to avoid with how large his arms are honestly, that and he constantly is moving forward and is hard to bring down so more time to fumble. It's a big problem but his positives out weigh it.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Yeah but how should he get in over Charles?

 

[elcheato]

His 14 total touchdowns to his 6. And Hillis isn't a slouch on yardage, so I think it makes up for it..

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Charles had 226 more yards than Hillis though despite carrying the ball 48 times LESS. You can't leave the 2nd leading rusher out of the Pro Bowl, especially when he's on a 10-5 team. Don't blame him for his lack of touchdowns, it's not his fault his team has other weapons to go to in the redzone.

I'm not trying to discredit Hillis, he had a great year, and most years would've made the Pro Bowl. But this year I just can't find anyone who he should get in over. Heck, McFadden makes just as good of a case as Hillis does, too.

I get it the point, they both have a good argument to get in, I guess I just value the TDs a lot more since I'm a Browns fan lol. But another reason I would think he should get in is because of the lack of talent/weapons around him to take pressure off him. He's put up those numbers with only one other legit offensive weapon in Ben Watson on his team causing teams to stack 8 or even 9 guys in the box on him which is starting to show in recent weeks with his slowed production, that and some injuries, while on the Chiefs they have a QB who had an argument for being a pro bowler, one of the best WRs in the NFL and a solid TE. A lot less people in the box when you've got a legit passing game, also having Thomas Jones kept Charles healthier and fresher while Hillis has accounted for 89% of the Browns rush offense, which is tops in the NFL for a single player.

I agree on McFadden as well, great year, and I might even have him over Hillis but personal preference for me to pick a Browns player I guess.

In all honesty, the AP all-pro list should be the standard of who makes the pro-bowl. Most fans aren't that wise.

Fan Vote only counts for 1/3 of the vote. Players and Coaches have a bigger say.
