Jon Beason makes the Pro Bowl after all

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.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
