BRAWNDO Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Sure this will happen the year the Bills are poised to place multiple players in the game!!
Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Per Chris Mortensen: NFL Insider @MortReport on our show: The league is moving towards suspending the Pro Bowl possibly this year. Life support at best. Long overdue. There are other recognitions of top players and if the probowl is given the death it deserves ,these will get more airplay.
section122 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 They can/should still name pro bowlers but just not have the game. This would be a good idea from the owners standpoint: Many players that got in as alternates now have it on their resume for contract negotiations, which makes them more expensive to sign. If they remove the game and it is an end of the season award it may actually mean something when someone lists a pro bowl on their resume.
eball Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Please end that carnival. It's not a football game. Name the players to the roster, and then give them and their families a trip to Hawaii.

G-Daddy Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Sure this will happen the year the Bills are poised to place multiple players in the game!! I'd rather see the entire team in the Super Bowl instead of a select few in the Pro Bowl the week before!

San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Skills competition with cash prizes. edit: In fact, do the combine drills in the competition so we can compare Pro Bowlers with college prospects.

The second half is why you won't see combine activities. A beat up 30 year old doesn't want his 40 on display against a rested 22 year old. If it happened, it would be obscure obstacle course and worlds strongest man style events to avoid that, in my opinion.

Yeah I know it would never happen for this and other reasons… NE RB Robert Edwards destroyed his knee during a beach football game one year at the Super Bowl at a league-sponsored event. But I love the idea nonetheless.
