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:

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
