The Biggest Probowl Snub?

I know Jon Beason probably should have made the pro bowl and up until Thomas Davis got hurt he was definitely playing on that level. Heck, even Gamble deserves some consideration...but the biggest pro bowl snub of the season for the Panthers has to be Ryan Kalil. I voted for the center from Dallas and Kalil everytime that I voted and I can't believe he didn't make it as a backup at least. He has been the rock of a line that has been through some big time injuries this season, a line that has had to very inexperienced starters over the last few weeks, and let's also add that this is a line that boasts TWO 1000 yard rushers for crying out loud!!! To me you have to let someone off a line that accomplishes that to the probowl...I would even say Wharton deserves a shot because he has played two positions on a line that has been so dominant in the run game this year. It amazes me that people talk so highly about the Panthers and our run game yet no one off the offensive line made the pro bowl. Maybe he or Travelle are an alternate but I haven't seen that list yet.

That to me Ryan Kalil not making it was our biggest probowl snub this year...right up there with DeAngelo not making it a year ago. Any thoughts?

Kalil is one of our most unheralded player and a steal in the draft. Otah is really close behind him in terms or being a top player at his position. He definitely deserves to be in Hawaii.

Hurney and the Scouting dept are responsible for some serious misses: D Jarrett, K Colbert, Corvey Irvin(you know he will suck!), Eric Shelton, Evan Mathis and Atiyyah Ellison but get wayy too much blame as all organizations miss at the same level or higher...look at the Pats last few drafts!

Hurney and staff has some great hits they get little credit for: trading down twice to avoid overpaying for a Free Safety and getting Jon Beason, Ryan Kalil, Jonathan Sterwart, Jeff Otah, and I feel like Everett Brown will be great although I would trade him for Terrance Cody in this draft in a minute).

The last three drafts I think have been huge wins...with possible reservations for Goodson (why draft him so high when we have other needs to address at the time??)

Geoff Schwartz, Mackenzy Bernadeau, Duke Robinson, Fiametta, Capin, Charles Johnson, and Sherrod Martin look like they will be on the right path to be possibe starters or high level back-ups.

so yes, I like Kalil....in other words.

He

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
