Feel bad for DB. All these accolades feel like popularity contests at this point. How in the actual *** is Micah 1st team over Burns??

Bijan making first team and second team lol

I expect a career game from Brown today...  gut vibe after 2 snubs and having an immobile  HOF qb in sight...

It's an interesting question. Parsons was having an excellent season prior to the injury. I am assuming they probably give Parsons credit for how teams literally have to solely scheme around him versus Burns where that isn't as often the case.

That seems sketchy. Do I get two All Pro bonus checks? I mean...I made it twice.

[Moonraker]

Also, can we get rid of the All Pro Fullback position? There's like, 2 fullbacks in the league now. Talk about an automatic win.

‘All purpose’ ? Has that always been a thing or did they invent a spot to avoid a CMC snub?

It’s relatively new, probably coincided with fantasy leagues adding flex positions. Dumb though

The All Pro voting is way more meaningful than Pro Bowl but it’s definitely flawed and skews towards big markets and successful teams too much, and also name recognition/past success. Brown should 100% be All Pro, shame he isn’t.

Probably because Brian Burns was, still is, and always will be a net negative against the run.  I'll always say he's just a better version of Mario addison

All purpose category is legitimately hilarious.

Just a way to get their boy CMC in there.

Burns has more tackles than Parsons I thought? I'm no Burns homer...I was glad we traded him, even though we blew the actual trade. Idk whatever I really don't even care I just wonder if these awards are all based on "vibes"

Correct, Burns had 26 more tackles. He had better stats in almost every metric than Parsons.

I expect DB to channel some JP level rage today
