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.

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      I don't think working from memory is going to be very productive or useful. You would need to compare them all, which is far easier to do from the breakdowns of each game. That has tiered charts that give real data.  But, even then that wouldn't substitute for a trained eye(s) doing detailed film analysis to attempt to determine if we are modifying the offense dramatically for Bryce.

      I think front office and general team culture under new ownership is sort of on the right track. The rookies all look incredible compared to where you'd expect each one of them to be right now. Lee's in game coaching is awful, he might be ok as a culture and developmental guy but that can't outweigh the in-game miscues and bad game plans. If LaMelo can't figure out the ankles then I think you gotta trade him for a haul, can't keep having your seasons lost every year because he can't stay on the court. And I say that as a big fan of him. Miller I think is unlucky, he looks likely to be an elite core player for us, but if he can't put together a stretch of healthy seasons he would trend towards LaMelo and need to be moved. I used to like Miles on the court a lot more but nowadays he's just an empty stat guy who needs to go. The short lived hot start to the season was fun but unless LaMelo and Miller both get and stay healthy within the next few weeks I can't even see us being a play-in team this year. And even if they do get healthy, we're probably looking at play-in at best, maybe barely compete for that fringe 6th seed.
