So is Beason going to the pro-bowl now?

[Ricky Spanish]

Since the saints won and everything, is Beason going to take Vilma's spot on the pro bowl roster?

he should.

[E CaT PanTHer]

already been discussed. London Fletcher is the 1st alternative so probably not.

[Ricky Spanish]

this is bullshit!

Yup thats why Beason was so pissed. He was dissed big time...... Gotta love big market teams.

You mean London Fletcher-Baker right..... LOL

[Acewalker]

Yep, even though only Patrick Willis was the only linebacker that performed better statistically, Beason doesn't even make Pro-bowl. Stupidity at its finest.

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:

beason said if they called him to replace someone, he would not go anyways.

[GoreMetalJunkie]

exactly. can't blame him whatsoever, the man has integrity.

[LaChance87]

I wish Beason had mad it... no doubt he should be there... But in another sense I feel bad for London Fletcher he's never been to a probowl either and he's deserved to go many times... Hopefully Beason wont be over passed as many times as Fletcher has.
