Hasn't been worth watching for years, bit for the players it hasn't been worth playing. You've got half the players going half speed(which they should because the game doesn't count) and half who are going 100%. That's just not a good mix. 

Skills challenge would be better, but honestly just let it be an honor and let it go.

They do skills competitions.  Where they half ass it their too.  Tyreek Hill finished last in the 40 and jogged.   

they should kill all of it at this point 

The skills competitions are a lot more fun than the game, they’re not all like the 40.  They had Justin Jefferson doing the QB accuracy challenge thing and that was fun.  He sucked, but it was fun to watch at least.  The dodgeball game was fun.  The guys actually were competitive in that one.  They definitely should get rid of the game itself, but the challenges make it worthwhile.  They can nix the 40 yard dash tho

If I were an athlete, I'd certainly skip it, or very performatively half-ass it. If I'm making millions of dollars off my athletic ability, the last thing I'd want to do is provide quantitative data that my measurables are slipping. "Yeah, my agent's going to love the fact that the world saw me run a 4.8 40 at the Pro Bowl when he's trying to negotiate up a new multi-million dollar deal for me."

the guy booking it was rookie Parsons.  Decent point.  Haven't thought about that. 

Saw Gilmore's kid interviewing some folks on twitter.  Think it was Cook.  He told the kid what he ran at the combine when asked how fast he was.   And then noted not that no more.

Some guys enjoy the Pro Bowl experience.  Russell Wilson loves going.  The game itself is a joke but the experience and skill comps are fun for most people.  I don’t think they should get rid of it, but it doesn’t need as much prestige as it gets.  When guys like Mac Jones are playing then it really doesn’t mean much.  It’s just silly football poo to watch before the season is over, then we have to wait 5 months for anything meaningful

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      Strength of Schedule

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
