Could the Panthers send 3 Olinemen to the Pro Bowl?

I was watching the camp preview for the offensive line on panthers.com, and one of the hosts was talking about how the Panthers could very well send 2 or 3 players to the Pro-Bowl this year.

Jordan Gross is considered to be a top player at his position, while Kalil is being touted by some analysts as the 2nd or 3rd best player at his position in the entire league. Jeff Otah has been phenomenal for us, and I think this year he will step into that "top-talent" role on the team.

Travelle Wharton has been very good for us since his return to LG a few seasons as well, so even he could have a shot if he plays well this season.

What do YOU guys think?

Can the Panthers send 3 O-Linemen to the Pro Bowl this year?

(Yes, yes, I know the Pro Bowl is nothing more than a popularity contest, but still, it's the offseason)

the pro bowl is a joke
this^^^ and count me in among those who don't want our players to go to the pro-bowl. not that great of an honor anymore...crap game...just a popularity contest. it doesn't have much to do with how talented they are, just how many fans you can get to vote a hundred times for players on your team.
i think if the Panthers send 3 o-linemen to the probowl none of them will play because we'll be preparing for the super bowl.

also, the guys you send will go right in to the FO with their agent demanding more money becauyse they now can be considered "pro-bowlers" and that takes away from the money that you can spend on other talent.

imo, both have an equal chance of happening (not that i'm saying it's a huge chance).

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
