Trai Turner Named To Pro Bowl For Second Consecutive Season

Apparently Trai Turner just became a pro-bowler for his second straight season:

Guard  Trai Turnericon-article-link.gif  has been named to the 2017 Pro Bowl, taking the place of Washington guard Brandon Scherff, who is unable to participate due to injury.

His production may have dropped off, but no doubt he played his heart out. From transitioning between tackle and guard this whole season, he's shown dedication and effort in all he did. 

Although Andrew Norwell is undoubtedly the most underrated guard in the league, and should've gone based solely on production, Trai Turner is still a great interior. No doubt in my mind we'll have a great o-line once we have continuity and health for a full season in that area.

Norwell was probably more deserving but good for Trai.

Turner put up the good fight this season.  It's hard not to drop off with the o-line situation, and situation he was put in.  I think people just dial in to the negative, and the positive gets overlooked...

Imagine if we had 2 pro bowl tackles to pair with our stud guards

Basically we got an All Pro Center, 2 pro bowl caliber guards, and 2 possible solid starting tackles for next year; assuming Daryl Williams beats out Remmers as expected.

We could go to war with Oher, Norwell, Kalil, Trai Turner, Williams.

    • He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
    • Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
    • The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
