Luke Kuechly a pro-bowl snub?

I will have a very hard time seeing the pro-bowl as an honor, more so than I already believe it's a joke if he doesn't go this year:

"3. Luke Kuechly has the fourth-most votes among inside linebackers, well behind a rookie (Kiko Alonso) and an injured player (Sean Lee.) I love Alonso and Lee, but Kuechly is the best at his position."

Would love to see Keek make it, but the pro bowl voting/ playing has been an absolute joke for the better part of the last decade. You have 4-5 guys every year just decide they dont want to play, you have another 5-7 guys not play due to super bowl obligations, and youre left with David Garrard as an AFC rep after throwing for UNDER 3000 yards and having a negative TD-INT ratio. Means nothing and is no longer looked at as a qualification for hall of famers

Yeah while it's insane he's not the leading vote getter in the league this year behind Peyton Manning, Top 4 at ILB get in and I'm sure he'll be way higher with coaches/players.

 

Frankly though, this Pro Bowl voting has me disappointed in this fan base. We rallied to win that idiotic uniform contest, but we can only get a guy like Kuechly 4th at his position?

    • Trying to help those 3 folks who hate this move.    In 2025 2.75 million is basically the new "vet" minimum.    They still need #3 RB and returner, draft could/should be the lane for that.    There's no downside to this move, they could cut with little effect and replace with your chosen rookie.   
    • Is it though? Even looking at just this past year, DK played 3 more games and had 81 more yards than Higgins had, but he also did it on less catches, with DK averaging 15 yards per catch and Higgins with 12.5. Yes, Higgins had 10 TDs to DK's 5, but I'd say that was far less about the WRs than the QBs, seeing as Burrow had 43 TDs (and only 9 INTs) to Geno's 21 TDs (and 15 INTs).  Swap the two of them last year and DK puts up better stats with Burrow as his QB than Higgins did, no doubt about it in my mind. DK has also only missed 3 games in his career, Higgins has missed 5 in each of the last 2 seasons. People here complain about our WR speed (and it's many people's biggest issue with T-Mac in the draft), but Higgins ran a 4.59 40 and DK ran a 4.33. DK has only played one more season than Higgins but he has 1,730 yards and 14 TDs more than Higgins, despite playing with the ghost of Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, while Higgins has had Burrow. To me, there is no debate, DK is a significantly better WR than Higgins.  Give him Burrow as his QB during his career and his numbers would dwarf what Higgins has put up.
