Anybody notice the greatest QB ever Andrew Luck did not make or even sniff at the pro-bowl. In fact, a QB that probably won't even make the playoffs is chosen over him. I'm talking an 10 win division winning team's QB was not selected by neither the fans, the coaches, nor the players to represent in Hawaii. While the QB of an 8-7 team in the same conference that won't even make the playoffs will be in Hawaii. It seems like the media hype is neither affecting the general fans, the players, and certainly not the coaches. "All he does is win" couldn't help The Golden Calf of Bristol and doesn't seem like it's helping Luck's cause either. Wow! Lucky might actually be as suck as I always thought.

 

In fact, there was a poll asking who the biggest snub was and a whopping 55%(probably eagles & colts' fans. lol) said Foles while only 11%(probably only Colts fan) said Luck.

Well, let's hope for your post sake, he doesn't back his way in, if/when Peyton, Rivers (is he still in contention) or Brady make the superbowl? LOL

I saw that poll and thought it was quite interesting. But not surprising, especially since the media has been talking up Folk so much while not really having much hype to rain down on Luck of late. They tried sometime this week when the Colts beat whatever much weaker team they played on Sunday but it was lost in all the Romo talk.

 

I believe it was Barnum who said it best..."A sucker is born every second of the day." The problem is, today's sports media has bought into that saying way to much and believe that Football fans are such suckers that they don't dare stop and think. Truth be told, even if such was the case, it was the lack of Luck hype that cost him a chance at Pro-Bowl.

 

 

IMO, the only two other QB who I believe deserved a chance were Dalton and Folke.  Luck has shown that he isn't that good without his weapons. Ben Rothleisburger will be back. His team is simply going through their transitioning.

That doesn't even count. That's so funny. He keeps finding his way into pro-bowls without ever being chosen after real pro-bowlers decline it. I bet somebody ask Brady to decline it last year so Luck could get in there last year. This year he is not even the alternate as Stafford and Foles already have the alt spot. I was reading the Colts board, they aren't mad. Some say maybe next year. Poor Luck. No heisman,  no National Championship, no first ballot pro-bowl. What exactly is Luck accomplishing in this league(rhetorical)? Seriously! Has he won anything as a football player?

 

In other notes: on NFLN NFC Playbook one of the panelist just refer to Cam as "the great Cam Newton". It's amazing the kind of respect Cam is getting these days.

This wasn't about his ability or talent. This was in response to another poster who saying Cam was undeserving, and another poster who responded by saying, "why didn't you say Keuchly". 

 

I asked, why not Tolbert (if you're going to pick a Panther). I'm sure his stats don't bowl you over as well. 

 

We can't have it both ways as fans guys. We can't complain every week, how Tolbert's not properly utilized,  and then when he makes the Pro Bowl say he was a 100% lock. 

Fullbacks stats arn't supposed to blow you away
