You have to get respect from coaches, and fans alike which means Ivory will probably not make it at first. Peterson, and Freeman will surely be voted ahead of him. Do 3 rb make it? EDIT: I didn't realize they don't vote by conference anymore. 6 players make it? He should be in then.
I admit. I voted all Jets players plus Titans and Browns. I want to provide an advantage to every Jet player that was on the ballot. I even voted for Quigley.
Check some of those names. They have no business being on a Pro Bowl ballot. As DBH said, I think they put all the starters from every team on the ballot and Sheldon doesn't get register as a starter.
Yes, they put all of the starters on there, not everyone from every football team. I know Sheldon will be our starter going forward, but the one game he's played he didn't exactly play the lion's share of snaps. It'll be interesting to see if he gets added to the ballot in a few games after he really begins getting starter snaps, but I have trouble getting worked up about his absence on the ballot since he hasn't played for the team for the first 4 games, and that because he got pulled for his second weed offense. Actually I'd prefer he didn't make the ballot at all, because coupled with his recent arrest it could help us sign him long term for dirt cheap. Hell, I'd prefer they all missed the Pro Bowl because it's a meaningless accolade but ends up costing teams in contract money for some inane reason.
Mangold has missed the pro-bowl once since 2008, the way it goes for o-line & probowl appearances it would be a pretty big long shot for him to miss this year.
Quick update for anybody that gives a shit: - C Nick Mangold got 33k votes (#2 behind Kalil, 40k) - CB Darrelle Revis got 59k votes (#2 behind Norman, 64k) That's about it for our guys that are among the top vote getters (top 2 at each position). I'm sure guys like Marshall, Mo, Harris, Gilchrist, Ivory, Decker and so on are right up there somewhere.
NO!!!! Quigley is a trap. Any fan who votes for Quigley is automatically disqualified! Go back and change it!
Here's the thing. Pro Bowl balloting is fucking pointless. Unless you want to bring attention to the fact that the system is completely ridiculous and you have to do that in a way that has nothing to do with the system. Are you prepared to do that?
Freeman Gurley Peterson Chris Johnson Martin Forte, Charles, Bell were lick till injuried. Ivory has had three bad games in a row. Need to get the running game going again.
I think Revis and Marshall deserve to be locks. Ivory might get in with a lot of the top backs out for the year. Pryor was deserving before being injuried. Wilkerson has played well but there's a lot of stud lineman out there and wilkersons not a popular name. Tough to put Decker in even though he's played really well thus far because there's so many receivers having great years. And it's a popularity contest so a guy like Dez who hasn't played all year will probably get votes and make it in. Julio, Hopkins, Cooper, Edelman, Marshall, OBJ, Fitzgerald, Robinson, Keenen Allen(but out for the season), Brown, Sanders, Thomas, Green, Landry. All deserving There's a lot of great receivers in this league.
Mangold! Not only is he a lock for the Pro Bowl ( and all pro), I think he's our MVP.. He's just so good and way under aprreciated. Look what happens when he's out!!
