this probowl is garbage...that was stupid to have it before the superbowl...good for the miami economy, bad for having all 3rd alternates on the teams

Why would moving it before the superbowl have any ramifications on players who are not playing in the superbowl.

There is no justifiable reason for players dropping out unles they are in the Superbowl or injured.

Isn't that what he's getting at? That it would be preferable to see the players who were actually voted in playing?

it is usually after the superbowl correct? and the superbowl is two weeks after the conf championships correct? that gives 2 weeks extra for some players who had brawling conf championship games to get ready for it and collect on their probowl bonuses. There has never been so many probowl dropouts.

So the majority of the probowl is made up of two of 32 teams? :rolleyes:

I appreciate that missing those teams out is not ideal, but it seems a lot of players from OTHER teams than the superbowl teams are dropping out for seemingly no reason.

I completely understand moving it before the Superbowl. It really made no sense having it after it. The Superbowl is the pinacle of the seaon and when the Pro Bowl was after it, it was just a glorified holiday for the players.

The point is, he made that statement after Willis dropped out, who plays for the 49ers, who wouldnt not have been practicing for several weeks, has suddenly picked up an injury.

Yes, Minnesota and Washington. ;)

It does seem like a lot of players are dropping out, but I thought the vast majority of them were doing so because of injuries.

The Pro Bowl has never been the most competitive game, so I really don't think it matters if it's before or after the Super Bowl. We're still going to see the same mildly-entertaining game regardless.

I do think it's ridiculous to require players from Super Bowl teams to attend the event, even if they're not playing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
