Quote:The only reason Marks would not get in is the stupid fan voting system that allows the players on more popular teams to get a lot more votes. Same thing happened to Josh Scobee four years ago. A kicker who scored from 59 years out and was nearly perfect all year deserves it a lot more than Billy Cundiff.  But no, just because he is a Jaguar Cundiff went to the Pro Bowl instead.

 

As a defensive tackle, Senderrick Marks has a much better chance of getting in than Scobee did. But Paul Posluszny got in as an alternate last year and MJD got in as a backup when  he led the NFL in rushing. The only time Fred Taylor went there he was an alternate. So I am afraid the anti-Jaguars bias will strike again and Marks needs another player's injury to go there even though statistically he is the best defensive tackle in the AFC.

 

A good part of that is because fans from other teams only look at a team's record and then say, "They're 3-13, they must not have any good players" or "They aren't a big market team, that means they don't have any good players". Problem is, there's almost no way to fix this since the media are the ones pulling the strings - ignoring good players on small market teams while constantly propping up average players from big markets in front of fans watching tv, making it seem like they are the best in the league. The Jags will have to be so good that even the media won't be able to ignore them (although I'm sure they'll likely try).
