Tolbert was used a backup HB this year, and not even a good one at that! How did he make it? And another reason why fans need to stop using a ProBowl as some type of qualifier that the player is good.
JMF2006 Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Come on people....he leads all Fullbacks with 3.8yds per carry Besides how would the voters know any different? nobody out side this area watches Bills football
Bob in STL Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 I liked Jamie Mueller and Carwell Garner. Both were very tough dudes.
BigDingus Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Considering we actually have a decent fullback on the roster that has played the position on field this year, it makes even less sense they picked Tolbert. DiMarco must be ticked.
Jamie Nails Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Third PB alternative at FB, a position that boasts two players in the AFC 1

Too bad he didn't play for Buffalo... He was from Lewiston, he went to Syracuse...correction.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 ....as a result, prolly hits the FA market lookin' for 10+ mil................
LABILLBACKER Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Aren't the Bills the last team in the NFL to even use a FB? For God's sake just cut him already. And take DiMarco with him.

K D Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 1. Tolbert isn't a FB 2. If he's a FB then he's not even the best FB on this team 3. Tolbert didn't even make the active roster last game, healthy scratch 4. How many family members does he have voting for him? Someone needs to look into this
reddogblitz Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 The fumble won't keep him out. There will be no snow in Hawaii or wherever the game is this year.

Same reason he's still occupying an NFL roster, he must have dirt on a lot of people around the league and not just McD and/or Dennison. Either way the probowl has been a joke for years now and can't believe people still watch the game or pay attention to the voting.
JoshBarnett Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Even Mike Tolbert doesn't get why he was named a Pro Bowl alternate at a position he doesn't play.
Captain Murica Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) He's made the pro-bowl 3x already, once you get in then more than likely you'll get voted back. NFC Champion 2015 3× Pro Bowl (2013, 2015, 2016) 2× First-team All-Pro (2013, 2015) That is more shocking to me than the pro-bowl selections. Edited December 21, 2017 by Captain Murica
Freddie's Dead Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Same reason Vlad Ducasse is starting, he's got pictures.
Big C Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 What an honor to be the 3rd alternate fullback in the pro bowl!
