BillsFan3434 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Can anyone give a definite answer as to why Glenn has not been in pro bowl conversations? I thought he had an all pro year. Do the current pro bowl tackles have anything over Cordy, other than they're all pro bowl alums, pretty much?

Do the current pro bowl tackles have anything over Cordy, other than they're all pro bowl alums, pretty much? I think he's in the same boat as Eric Wood. If an offense doesn't perform well, I don't think any members from that unit will get Probowl consideration. Once the team starts winning, and the offense is at least in the top half, then you'll start to hear buzz around certain players. Edited January 24, 2014 by JayBaller10

Once the team starts winning, and the offense is at least in the top half, then you'll start to hear buzz around certain players. I thought that Wood had a terrible year and Glenn a really good year. You can blame Wood's struggles on the CFL talent at LG but Glenn played next to him too. I don't think that we are far from seeing Cordy in the Pro Bowl. He is a really good LT.
DrDawkinstein Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Probowl voting, especially along the Offensive Line, is just a popularity contest. Once your offense does well and you get named, OLinemen can typically ride that out for a few more years worth of voting. Take Ruben Brown for example. He was a turnstile way more than he was an All Pro, but he made the team every year because who can name another OG? Offensive Line is one of those positions where the less you hear a player's name called, the better he is doing. So it's tough to get any recognition. Edited January 25, 2014 by DrDareustein

He might make an All Pro team before being named to a Pro Bowl. GO BILLS!!!
Doc Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'd rather they play well and not make the Pro Bowl. Because when they do, egos tend to get inflated.

Cleveland's offense finished the season ranked 28th, sent Joe Thomas, Alex Mack, Jordan Cameron, and Josh Gordon to the pro bowl. I could acknowledge that Thomas didn't have his best year and popularity may have been a factor but not for the rest.
Max997 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Worrying about the Pro Bowl is a complete waste of time
FLFan Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'd rather they play well and not make the Pro Bowl. Because when they do, egos tend to get inflated. and contracts.

Jason Peters was very good, like always, but by far not at his best. I did not watch enough of the overall NFL to say there would have been better then him this season but he was still voted.
3rdand12 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Cordy doesnt need PB recognition . He very quietly is excellent and getting better. I am so excited to see a real LG between him and Wood this year . I would prefer he gets all pro notice any ways
machine gun kelly Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 The more PB's he receives, the more we have to pay him in two years. I'm very comfortable with him staying under radar. We've drafted much better than posters give credit, and we have a storm coming with salary cap in a couple of years. Considering we are 6-10, we can't afford to keep losing the talent we have on the team.

papazoid Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Cordy Glenn is a stud and rising star in the league. his day will come.
FluffHead Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Cordy will make the pro bowl after he signs a new deal with a different team in a few years
thewildrabbit Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Sometimes good players simply don't get recognized while playing on bad teams. The better the the Bills do on offense the more recognition they will receive. Glenn did surprisingly well at LT considering the scrubs next to him at LG.
KGUNBILLS Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 He is young, but for sure he will have his day in the sun and surf, soon enough.
Charles Romes Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 You don't hear anything about Cordy Glenn. And that speaks volumes.
Doc Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 The Bills will approach Glenn with a contract extension after next season. Hopefully he continues to have a stellar season but not make the Pro Bowl.
8-8 Forever? Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Can anyone give a definite answer as to why Glenn has not been in pro bowl conversations? I thought he had an all pro year. Do the current pro bowl tackles have anything over Cordy, other than they're all pro bowl alums, pretty much? He plays for the Bills. That's strike one right out of the box. Not trolling, just the facts. Pro Bowl = beauty contest. Regrettably, Bills are the ugly girl at the dance right now. Winning cures everything.
