Your defensive picks are simply solid, not a ton to argue with there. Maybe Eric Berry from KC for safety, and as much as I hate to admit it Terrell Suggs should be looked at for OLB.
You have all the right QB's. Stafford's stat line is frankly a lot more impressive than Cam's, but I guess you have to look at the win/loss column. I feel like Reggie Bush deserves votes at RB but I'm not sure who you eliminate from your list to vote for him. I'd like to see Andre Johnson go at WR, given the horrible situation he's in and he's still 3rd in the league in yards (CJ and Josh
Gordon).
I'd like to see Tony Gonzalez make the pro bowl in what may be his last season, but it's hard to justify it even though he's having a pretty good season. I will point out that Gronkowski is top 10 in every statistic after missing the first 5,6 weeks of the season? Overall good picks.

I'd put Stafford in over Rivers and you have to put Gronkster in at tight end.

How close would you be to putting Alfred Morris on your RB list? Most 20+ yard runs this season, 2nd highest YPA behind Demarco Murray, 4th in yards overall at 996. Just a little short in the TD department with only 6 because Shanahan keeps putting in other RBs to snipe them for whatever reason.
|
Alfred is awesome but not nearly as versatile or well rounded as the other guys this season. He only has 50 yards receiving for the entire year (27 of which came this last week). A player like Moreno for example has nearly 400 receiving yards.
|
I believe Tamba Hali and Kam Chancellor currently lead the voting at their respective positions, but overall this looks like a decent set of picks. Rivers might have a difficult time winning any popularity contests though.

I the only one I really disagree with is Tom Brady. If you take the names away and look at the numbers alone, I dont think this is a pro bowl year for him.
Considering his limited playing time (and take away the dallas game) can I hear a vote for Nick Foles? anyone? Anyone? Buehler?

I came here to complain about lack of Patriots, but then realized they are all on IR.

Brady had a rough start, but his last ~5 games have been excellent. He outplayed Manning in their matchup, and looked surgical against the Panthers.
As far as Foles, he hasn't really hit a good secondary yet. Sure he's a good QB and his Raiders game was spectacular (although I think it was a bit of a fluke) but I don't consider him pro bowl caliber. Maybe that's just personal bias. I dunno I live in Philadelphia I should probably think he's great.

Stafford is NFC and Rivers is AFC!

This is pro bowl UNCONFERENCED™. It's the new Pro bowl format. No conference divisions!

Yeah it's like Deion Sanders and someone else drafting players on to their Pro Bowl teams or some shit.

Jerry Rice I think is the other captain.

I still think Antonio Gates needs to be on the TE list. With Rivers coming out strong he has the second most receiving yards of all TE and he's still Rivers go-to guy in a pinch.

Do you even watch football games? Brady torn up two of the league's top defenses in the league in recent weeks (Pittsburgh and Houston). You could include panthers in the mix too but it was the patriots who shoot themselves in the foot in that game.

Maybe it's because I'm getting old and maybe its's because i haven't followed the nfl as closely these past two years, but man, i barely know like half of those guys on that list. It really seems like the nfl has gotten a new generation of talent to replace the past ones. For qbs, you still have the usual suspects like manning, brees, brady, but now there are these new guys like luck, wilson, cam, rg3(before this year), kaep(same as rg3) and even half decent guys like tannehill. Man, i'm still used to seeing the "diva" receivers like ochocinco, randy moss, owens. On defense, its even worse. at DT, i don't really know anyone except the guy that played for bama, at DE, i know jj watt was good last year and mario williams was that guy that was chosen over reggie bush back when reggie bush was hyped to be like the next barry sanders. linebackers, i'm still used to seeing urlacher, lance briggs, etc. i still remember brian dawkins, ed reed, polamalu at safety.
damn, i feel so old.

Pittsburgh and Houston are not top defenses anymore.
Either way, it's amazing how Brady year in, year out, has done well with new receivers.

Because it isn't just about pure numbers. Look at the receivers he is throwing to. And no Hernandez and Gronk just got back. His numbers are fine considering.

... really? questioning if I watch pro football, followed by claiming that Houston and Pittsburgh are top tier defenses? cmon.
Edit: also I cant help but throw this in, do with it what you will: Tom Brady and Nick Foles have the same number of touchdown passes this year, Nick Foles has 8 fewer interceptions and 10 fewer turnovers I believe. Nick Foles has had much less playing time.
Just sayin.

I think you just answered your own questions though. Foles has not played nearly enough to actually show what he's worth. If he someohow continues to put up the same numbers next year after defenses have got some tape on him (I highly doubt it) then sure he's an easy pro-bowl pick. But right now he's just another flash-in-the-pan that defenses haven't had the time to figure out yet.
