CodeMonkey Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 He was having an all star year, but how do you vote for a player that misses half the season? Well intentioned, but silly IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cincinnati Kid Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I signed it. Thanks for posting. Lets get this done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsaikotic Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I signed it...I know I have seen players go to past pro-bowls that were hurt...didn't Adrien Peterson miss like the first half of the year and still go to the pro-bowl a couple years ago?...just because he wasn't listed as "IR" he got to go.

It's in My Blood Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 My heart wants him on the ballad but my head doesn't. any accolades that he could possibly receive will drive up his price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. Of course, why add to your household expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I would love to see if but from what I have read, players on the IR are not eligible for the Pro Bowl. Gives him some reason to have a monster year next year, and if the Bills don't resign him a good contract somewhere else after next year (if the Bills don't draft another RB in the first round again).

jr1 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 John Beck's on the Pro Bowl ballot. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalolips Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Matt Shaub is still on the ballot. This is definite BS. Either they both should be on or both should be off. Ridiculous. I signed the petition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's in My Blood Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 LOL. Of course, why add to your household expenses. Right!!??! No, my point was that the less money we pay Jackson(who is 31 and coming off a season ending injury) means more money we can spend improving our team.

No, my point was that the less money we pay Jackson(who is 31 and coming off a season ending injury) means more money we can spend improving our team. I know what you meant. But whenever I hear someone express this particular sentiment, it makes me think of a sales seminar I attended years ago where they were comparing a poverty mentality with a prosperity mentality. The miserly approach has a lot of negative psychological stuff attached to it which makes it the opposite (but just as bad as) the Daniel Snyder approach. For one thing, you start chiseling players for every dime and see what that does to the player's regard for their employer. You also create "I am not deserving" and "we're not good enough" mentalities when you start getting overly-frugal. Obviously a lot of it is a matter of degree and how you do things.
