Quote:Probowl has become such a joke. Now Aaron Rodgers isn't going, and it's not even due to an injury (according to that article).
How many of the top QBs in the league aren't even going to that thing now?
Initial Probowl roster:
Brady (possible Superbowl)
Newton (possible Superbowl)
Palmer (possible Superbowl)
Rodgers (dropped out)
Roethlisberger (likely dropped out)
Wilson (?)
As an alternate, Dalton likely wouldn't play because injury.
Brees and Rivers? Idk about them.
Anyway, at least 4 or maybe 5 of the selected probowl QBs won't even be in it. Other alternates may not even go.
Seriously,, who in the [BAD WORD REMOVED] cares if a QB gets to go because he was good enough to be average (middle of the pack) in the league?! Pitiful.
We're going to end up watching guys like Carr, Fitz, Taylor, Ryan, etc...
What a freaking joke this thing has become.
It's how Garrard got a pro bowl selection.
Bortles won't because he broke his hand, but I could see it happening next season.
Quote:Tyrod Taylor is in.
20 tds.. 2 missed games 3000 yards passing that don't make sense
It's odd that Taylor got in over Rivers and Brees.

Who did he get in for?
Who else is left that may pull out. I don't like Bortles' chance over Rivers or Brees.

Yup,, Probowl is a joke. The top players don't even play in it anymore. The middle-bottom level guys get in and play.
Woohoo
Cam is out, Brady wont play in it anyways, after Sunday Palmer prob drop out

Bortles broke his non-throwing hand in the season finale. He has probably already been bypassed for that alone.
Does anyone know what number alternate Bortles is?
The Pro Bowl should be played with robots that shoot lasers at each other. It's the only way I would watch for more than 2 minutes.
Quote:Does anyone know what number alternate Bortles is?
Considering he's in a cast with a broken thumb, I'd say probably ZERO.
carson palmer just pulled out, i wonder if BB5 still has his hand in a cast ?

lol
At this rate we need some more players to drop out of the NFC and Gabbert might get in

Its no NFC and AFC anymore, anybody from any conf can replace a player
Bridgewater is in. I am officially mad.

I thought AFC roster and NFC roster gets announced and then the coaches do a draft from both conference's?
Carr and Bridgewater in pro bowl
Quote:Bridgewater is in. I am officially mad.
Why?
I'm sorry, but if someone has to get hurt, decline, or not play due to making the super bowl, their replacement isn't a real pro bowler.
