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.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By TD alt · Posted

      One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.

      Moton Meets the Press

      I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
