BearNorth Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 This entire exercise is a bit bogus. They get a few right, but too many picks are based on past reputation. Obvious examples that jump out to me are Budda Baker, Montez Sweat, Deandre Swift, Patrick Surtain, Denzel Ward, & Minkah Fitzpatrick, are all having "meh" seasons. Also the split doesn't follow reality - The have essentially 12 defensive ends and only 6 interior defenders, yet there are more DI than ED's playing. Josh is clearly one of the top 3 QB's playing in the AFC, Douglas is clearly one of the top 4 CB's by whatever measure you want to use. Sad that contracts are written with bonuses for what is essentially a popularity contest with a dose of reputational bias thrown in. There also seems to be no effort to "normalize" fan voting for "small " market teams vs. Larger market teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Mahomes over CJ Stroud is nonsense. One has had his worst season and the other has turned a franchise around. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 When everything gets tallied up years down the road, post career, Josh Allen will be severely lacking in any NFL accolades Resume material compared to what he's accomplished. It's sad actually. I've never heard of a QB who puts out statistics every year that end with "in history", (i.e. JA has the most total TD's for any QB through his first 6 seasons in history). People outside of Buffalo will remember, yeah he was a good QB but no Lamar and no Mahomes...and he was a turnover machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaB Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Congrats to Dawkins and Cook. Right now the pro bowl is a joke though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I dunno about Josh Allen, but Big Ed got jobbed. But then there's this: Ed Oliver could make it 3 for 3. 22 minutes ago, BananaB said: Congrats to Dawkins and Cook. Right now the pro bowl is a joke though. Indeed. It's become the "I've heard of him" bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigduke6 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) Pro Bowl is a joke now. gratz to the guys who got picked, but u cant tell me a QB with 40+ total TDs isnt a pro bowler. i know Josh hasnt been playing well as of late, but come on. same goes for MVP tbh. Lamar is a talent, seems like a genuine good guy, responsible for less than 2 TDs per game average. meh.

Warriorspikes51 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The Pro Bowl used to actually be legit as far as who is really good. Now it's just nonsense Ed Oliver with 9.5 sacks as a DT not a Pro Bowler? QB who leads league in TD's isn't? Really??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 1/3 of yhe pro bowl scoring is fan vote numbers. Likely, not as many Bills fans voted for Josh as LC for Mahomes. In the NFC, 15 49ers were the top vote getters at their positions. That’s crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I don't know how anyone can take it seriously considering it's fan voting and no limit to how much you can vote. The AP All-pro is the important one.

Generic_Bills_Fan Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) 19 hours ago, UKBillFan said: Score the most number of TDs as a QB… be an alternate. The turnover storyline has really done a number on Josh. Bet Mahomes has still made it, despite his count not being that much lower. Jackson is obvious. Who’s the third? Tua? Just saw a stat that Josh has the highest pff grade for offensive players against playoff teams which game me a chuckle since he’s a pro bowl alternate lol i do think some of it is coaches/players not voting for him since he has skipped the pro bowl to play golf 2 years in a row 😁 Edited January 4 by Generic_Bills_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s likely he got snubbed by those other groups too I think I'm right in saying the Pro-Bowl vote opened after Week Ten, which was not Josh's highest point of the season. Can see why coaches, especially, may have taken a step away from him if they voted early. And Mahomes' decline has only really been over the past three weeks.

Warcodered Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 1 hour ago, Beck Water said: LOL There's no doubt in my mind that there's going to be some ticked off motivated players on our team from this. It doesn't matter how little people actually care about the Pro Bowl with the fan voting and what not. The fact is there's a good chance that besides the game check that there were contract incentives they missed out on because of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
