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.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year.

      Kicker

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
