I wish the All-Pro rankings were held in higher esteem than the ProBowl. ProBowl is too easily corrupted by big name players and the hot teams. I mean I can understand why the Pro-Bowl selections are made, but they need to quit holding pro-bowls in such high esteem.

I think the ProBowl should be seen as a reward for being on a successful team. All-Pro is much less biased and I think holds more water. Having stupid fans voting messes everything up. The guys who produce the most and perform the best deserve to go each year. Too many great players on bad teams or small market teams get snubbed. Even players on good teams get snubbed, Will Smith this year and Deangelo Williams last year are examples.

Really it should be the other way around, fans should have no say in the pro-bowl. Let the fans vote on something that doesn't matter.

Well said....All-Pro should be held above all in a career stat ...not "He was a 5 time pro-bowler."

People complain about the fan vote and large metro populations win out for the most part. The player vote is very corrupt as their own agents dictate to their clients who to vote for....other clients! Bonus money for the the players and the agent gets huge commissions.

At least it is not the NBA fan vote where Allen Iverson is on the starting roster.:rofl:

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
