Who are your Pro Bowl snubs? As usual, big names win out, case in point - Lesean McCoy getting in over Matt Forte and Eddie Lacy. You could also argue that those 2 should have made it over jamaal charles. I'd also put jeremy maclin, randall cobb, any maybe even OBJ ahead of AJ and Calvin, not because they are better players, but because they've had better seasons.

ESPN:

Peyton Manning's 14th Pro Bowl selection ties him for most all-time with three others:

TE Tony Gonzalez (First tight end to ever catch 1,000 passes, holds virtually all the records for a TE: most receptions, most receiving yards, most receiving TDs, most 1,000-yd seasons, etc, etc)

HOF OG Bruce Matthews (on the OLs protecting Warren Moon and Steve McNair)

HOF DT Merlin Olsen of the Rams "Fearsome Foursome"

Judging by how Manning has played the last few weeks it might be his last pro bowl. I never want to say never with Peyton but his arm strength is horrendous. Teams are adjusting. Turn your head quick and it's easy to make adjustments on those ducks.

 

Time slows down for no one. I wouldn't be surprised if Broncos lose to Raiders and get knocked off at home on WC weekend.

 

Maybe the rain gave him difficulty or someone missed their route. For their sake they should hope so.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
