[Evil Chase K]

Pro Bowl Rosters announced.

Sean Taylor makes it posthumously and my Steelers send 5.

Two Steelers starters: James Harrison (good for him, he deserves it) and Alan Faneca (LOLWTF). Seriously, Faneca? The fans shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Three Steelers reserves: Ben Roethlisberger (about time), Willie Parker (one could make an argument that he should be the starter this year) and Troy Polamalu (Does NOT deserve it. At all.)

Many Browns got robbed, as expected....at least Cribbs and BE made it in, but without a doubt Winslow, Steinbach, and Thomas belong in this year. I can see why they didnt take DA, Big Ben is more established and is having a great year.

DA should have made it. Anyone who says they saw his season coming is a dirty fucking liar.

Cowboys get 11, lead the league.

Suck on that perfect Patriots!

I celebrate what I can.

[Evil Chase K]

Can someone tell me how Ken Hamlin deserves to be in the Pro Bowl?

[Maxx]

I for one cannot.

[CQI13]

Well, the voting is split between fans, coaches, and players. OLinemen usually get put in by coaches/players, while people with the big stats (sacks, yds, etc.) are pretty high on the list for all three. So conceivably, Faneca may have been low on the fans' voting, but high on the coaches & players.

[Evil Chase K]

I doubt it. Anyone who knows football can see that he's played below-average to horrible all season.

[Vendetta]

Fred Taylor and Mario Williams got screwed. Fans shouldn't be allowed to vote. Should be just the coaches and the players. Because we as fans don't know shit.

How does Barrett Ruud not make the Pro Bowl for Tampa Bay? He leads the fucking league in tackles and he has forced numerous fumbles this year.

[OGpistolpete]

Kellen Winslow got SNUBBED.

Over who? Ben? Ben has a better QB rating, more passing TDs, better completion percentage, higher YPA, less INTs, and is better on third downs.

And surely Anderson doesn't make it over Manning or Brady.

Addai has about as many rushing yards and has 7 more rushing TDs, plus 3 recieving TDs. How does Fred Taylor deserve to be in more?

[alldaws1]

So you think the NFL should reward a guy who might be a fluke over a Super Bowl winning QB? I disagree completely.

Their past and future accolades shouldn't count at all. It should be based off of this season. I'm not disagreeing with the selections though, as good a year DA has had, Roethlisberger, Brady & Manning have had better.

[gunnar hendershow]

Roethlisberger's flukey season saw him produce a 75.4 QB rating. Those are Eli Manning numbers. His other 3 seasons he's averaged somewhere around 98 for his QB rating. His rookie season he might've actually been better than he is right now actually.

EDIT - And I'm also upset at the lack of talk about David Garrard here. He ranks ahead of DA without a doubt.

How many times have arguments been overruled in here because of stats? And don't even try and use passer rating to convince me of anything, it's such a bullshit statistic.

It's very close between Ben and Derek Anderson, admittedly. But I don't know if Anderson will have this kind of year ever again, I can see Big Ben being more consistent throughout his career. Brady's had it easy this year with all his new toys, he choked against the Jets.

Oh, and Fred Taylor got royally screwed.
