I despise the pro bowl. It seriously makes me kinda angry because pro bowls are actually taken into consideration for the hall of fame.. last time I checked the pro bowl leaders, it was as follows:

Vikings had nearly their team voted in at every position, Polamalu was the leading safety for AFC even though he's missed the majority of the season, and Tony Gonz was ahead of Vernon Davis..

The only thing I have to say about that is-

how about the hitman # 43...chris harris is a BEAST!

One reason he's called the hitman is because he's not exactly the greatest cover guy, the fact that Roy William can make it and he can't isn't really fair. But the probowl sure as he'll isn't fair. IMO it should be based almost entirely on the coaches and players. Professionals should evaluate and vote for other professionals. Although when I hear Warren Sapp open his mouth I'm a little worried about some of their judgement.

Well he is. Probowl is about name recognition.

Dan Morgan tried to do this in his argument about Moore. Just because a guy is popular among fans doesn't give you the right to discredit his achievements...plain and simple. You could make the argument for other players to go. The probowl is a farce, but it doesn't make all the players that go scrubs.

I don't think Travelle Wharton gets enough respect. We have more big plays rushing left and up the middle than any other team in the NFL. He's an athletic guard who has stepped up his game and done a fine job subbing in as a LT and protecting Matt Moore's blindside.

Honestly, Wharton doesn't get enough respect even from Panthers fans. The guy is a beast, and I'm one of the few who was happy to see us lock him up long-term. I still think he'd have done a good job for us as the full time LT, but I'm not upset we have who we have in place. Magz is a freakin good coach.

As for who makes it, none of our guys do. It's not that unusual to have no probowlers from teams that are sub-500 make it, thanks to idiotic fans who chomp on tidbits from ESPN like Agustus Gloop hoovers chocolate. I wish fan-voting would only account for about 1/10 of consideration for pro-bowls, then it wouldn't be the joke it is now.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
