What a joke probowls on your resume is now. You could be the 10th best player at your position, but still get in due to drop outs, injuries, and super bowl players being unavailable.

 

How do you really take pride in it anymore?

It's part of why I despise the Pro Bowl. The only players that genuinely care about it are the guys that have bonuses attached to it.

 

Stephon is a good player on the whole but shouldn't be at an All-Star game based on those 16 games. All-Pro is the bigger honour because you don't tend to have guys voting with no frame of reference outside of "Oooh, he got 5 picks, must be good."

They give stuff like this to Bills players when their contracts are up. If he was in the middle of his contract there would be no such honor. Why do you think Lorax got AFCEDPOY? Sticking it to us again.

Agree.

 

It used to be that you got into 4 or so Pro Bowls and you became a HOF candidate. Not anymore. Not if you're backing into the PB.

No doubt --- and I mean there is NO doubt! --- that the NFLPA has a finger in this stuff to give a tap to guys who are up for U/FA so they can give a little boost to guys who will "raise the tide" so to speak.

 

It is completely a fluff game and should be ended.
