Legendary Panthers QB at the pro bowl

Not sure what the NFL is doing with this week-long Pro Bowl event ... but it's bad. Real bad.

They're just absolutely flailing and failing to figure out how to make the Pro Bowl a relevant ratings grabbing spectacle. They've done a great job at that with the draft but they can't figure out how to replicate it with the Pro Bowl. It just feels like a distraction from the Super Bowl IMO. They could build more compelling stuff simply focusing on the upcoming Super Bowl. They should honestly consider moving all the Pro Bowl stuff to the dregs of the off-season in July when people are starving for football content.

Hopefully in the coming years someone at the NFL will have the balls to point out the king has no clothes and put an end to the Pro Bowl once and for all.  Keep the honor of being selected to the team but for the love of all that is holy stop trying to make it a TV event.

Pro bowl already means nothing because theres a million drop outs, All Pro Teams and NFL awards (MVP, OPOTY etc) are good enough.

It's only a matter of time until the Pro Bowl is shitcanned.  The only people who watched it were diehard NFL fans anyway, and that was back when it was more or less a normal game with modified rules.  It went way down hill in the 2010s.  The last watchable Pro Bowl was after the 2013 season when they had the Prime/Rice team captains format and those grey jerseys with the neon trim.

It's sort of like Thursday Night Football.  The players don't want to do it and if given the option wouldn't, and it just exists as a way for the NFL to wring another nickel out of a market they've already completely saturated.

I mean really, who is going to go out of their way to watch 7v7 flag football?  Who's interested in that?

By the way, I liked it when the Pro-bowl was after the Superbowl.  If done right, it was like a farewell to the season.  The main problem is with football itself.  The sport is too dangerous to play even in a casual way.  And casual football sucks!  

Yeah I appreciated it that way too, it was like a celebration of the season and players.  You even had guys who had just played in the Super Bowl participating in some of those.

    • 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
