Jon Beason makes the Pro Bowl after all

[Sam Mills Fan]

He's replacing Willis according to Schefter. Willis has an injury.

Why would moving it before the superbowl have any ramifications on players who are not playing in the superbowl.

There is no justifiable reason for players dropping out unles they are in the Superbowl or injured.

Isn't that what he's getting at? That it would be preferable to see the players who were actually voted in playing?

it is usually after the superbowl correct? and the superbowl is two weeks after the conf championships correct? that gives 2 weeks extra for some players who had brawling conf championship games to get ready for it and collect on their probowl bonuses. There has never been so many probowl dropouts.

[Sultan33g]

well thats 3 weeks actually

So the majority of the probowl is made up of two of 32 teams?

I appreciate that missing those teams out is not ideal, but it seems a lot of players from OTHER teams than the superbowl teams are dropping out for seemingly no reason.

I completely understand moving it before the Superbowl. It really made no sense having it after it. The Superbowl is the pinacle of the seaon and when the Pro Bowl was after it, it was just a glorified holiday for the players.

The point is, he made that statement after Willis dropped out, who plays for the 49ers, who wouldnt not have been practicing for several weeks, has suddenly picked up an injury.

Yes, Minnesota and Washington.

It does seem like a lot of players are dropping out, but I thought the vast majority of them were doing so because of injuries.

The Pro Bowl has never been the most competitive game, so I really don't think it matters if it's before or after the Super Bowl. We're still going to see the same mildly-entertaining game regardless.

I do think it's ridiculous to require players from Super Bowl teams to attend the event, even if they're not playing.

[Sultan33g]

whatever...I dont honestly care to argue with u. The probowl is a joke and Im sure u agree with me on that
