Pro Bowl updates?

Recommended Posts

They're supposed to be reported every Wednesday and obvviously several of our media guys got the numbers because Joe Webb being the leading ST vote-getter was brought up several times in Wednesdays press conferences.

Maybe I just missed it somehow, but I haven't seen any updates from Voth, Jones, Person, etc. on our guys numbers despite them obviously knowing it.  Just wanted to know if we still had like 13 guys in the top 2, 20 in the top 10, TD #1 in OLB votes, Cam #2 overall, etc.

If our media guys just happen to be slacking I was wondering if one of you twitter folk could tweet at them and get the numbers

We're Super Bowling not Pro Bowling this year, bro.

Can we stop this..... We ALL know the goal is a Superbowl, but it is still a honor to be named to the event, even if they don't play in the game. There's nothing wrong with wanting both for our players and our fan base.

Well, the fact of it being an old link would explain why the results look similar!  LOL

BTW, it looks like the record for the most pro bowl players voted from one team in any season is 13 - the 2007 Dallas Cowboys.  So, if these voting results hold up, we'd equal that.  Hopefully we'll get Stew or Ealy on the board too, so we can hold the record!

What really crazy is that pretty much all our guys leading in votes for their respective positions, deserve to be there! Man, I don't think that how outstanding a job Gettleman has done here can be overstated! The guys that he has brought in here that were cast aside from other teams, or who were not drafted by any teams, that have come in and performed at an All-Star level is fuging outrageous!!!

Michael Oher is a probowl LT. Wow! The thing this franchise is doing for washed up players is amazing.

No sh!t, from being cut by the Titans, who are so bad that they don't need a stupid nickname (see Taints, cowgirls, falcunts, etc) to make fun of them, to leading the probowl voting. I admit that I thought he was a bandaid until we could get someone else up to speed.  That'll do Big Mike, that'll do.

Definitely, but you have to give credit to Ron & Co as well. Getts found the talent and brought it in, but the coaching staff has made a meal out of mashed potatoes with these guys too. They've done a hell of a job coaching the guys up, and they deserve the commendations as well.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
