Derrick Brown

I think his play this year has been stellar.   He's showing up on leader boards for his play.

Do you think he's on a path to a Pro Bowl nod?

[Daddy_Uncle]

He should be a pro bowler but I don't care to watxh him play flag football

[ColumbusCounty]

I'd doubt it unless his numbers increase. He has alot of comp too...but he is starting to create a buzz at his position. 

If he keeps up his play it's possible. Maybe as an alternative player at best though. Esp with our W/L record as it is. 

I actually didn't think Burns was going to make it over Reddick so who knows. 

His play has been impressive. 

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Might just be the best Panther so far this season to date. Burns may be the only other name in contention that has been as consistent and impactful week in and week out. Trying to think of some others that would be in that conversation but it’s really those two at this point regardless of position.

I think the Pro Bowl is gone now. It's supposed to be a fun skills competition and Madden tournament between the players. Maybe if we have any Pro Bowlers they will be monsters of the ping pong table.

The actual game will go away but the selection to the team will still happen.

Yes and the players are still rewarded with bonus money but I don't know if there is a percentage of that based on winning match ups and tournaments. It was time for it to go. It was no longer entertaining, especially when a high number of selections would opt out.

Some opted out, especially the ones in the Super Bowl.  Game was boring but they have a replacement events that sound like it will be fun to watch,

[Thorrez]

I was surprised both Sanchez and Vilma hyping him up. So it is obvious he is gaining traction and as the choice is in large part a popularity contest he has a shot.

I think he needs "smack the guard on his ass and the level the qb" kind of highlight play the tip the scale.

I dont think hes making a pro bowl level impact. but he is much better than last season.

I remember when they actually played

[Jon Snow]

He needs help on the interior.  Brown is better than he's given credit for.

Ok, for those interested, the Pro Bowl has been renamed to the Pro Bowl Games. There is a flag football game, and the website only describes a week-long celebration with fun skills competitions but does not mention what those may in fact be. At 1 point I had heard that there would be a players Madden tournament, but maybe that is not included in the official slate of Pro Bowl Games week.
