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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
