Potential Pro Bowlers?

[Catalyst]

It's early yet, but who are some potential Pro Bowlers from the Panthers?

I think with our offense playing so well we could see more than you'd expect from a non-playoff team, which I believe we'll be. Fantasy points go a long way in this day and age in fan voting. On defense, I expect only Charles Johnson will have a shot, even if Gamble has been playing well enough to deserve it. Godfrey probably has an outside chance.

I'm thinking:

Cam Newton - Kind of an outside chance, but if he keeps it up I see no reason why he shouldn't at least be a 1st or 2nd alternate, which means he'd likely end up being selected as one or more QB's always skip the PB.

Steve Smith - As close to a lock as we have. He's going to finish the year with monster numbers and has a shot to be the league's leading receiver. I'd be shocked if he didn't make it.

Greg Olsen - Has a chance, but likely as an alternate. Although, didn't I read that if he does make the Pro Bowl we'll owe the Bears a 2nd rounder instead of a 1st?

Jordan Gross - If he made it last year, there's no reason he can't this year on one of the league's best overall offenses.

Ryan Kalil - Same as Gross. I can see Kalil becoming one of those every year 'locks' based on reputation and consistency.

Charles Johnson - A lot of under the radar players only end up making it once their name makes the news when they hit free agency and/or get a huge contract. He's on pace for 16 sacks, and Trent Cole being hurt will help his chances. Should at least be an alternate.

Chris Gamble - An outside shot, but corners usually make it based off reputation/picks, which Gamble has neither of despite playing very well.

Charles Godfrey - With Nick Collins out for the season, he has a shot, but it'll likely be tied to his pick total for the year. If he ends up with 5-6 INT's he could get in.

Smith and Olsen. Newton would be competing against Brees, Rodgers, and Vick who are basically sure-things. He could have an outside chance at an alternate spot if he keeps playing well assuming Matt Ryan doesn't start to heat up.

Why do we want our players to be pro bowlers? It means very little with fan voting.

[bauss]

I'd rather them be super bowlers.

Based on this year, Vick isn't a sure thing especially if he can't make it through the season.

Id be happy if godfrey got in. That dudes came a LONG way since he was drafted, hopefully hell continue to improve and be that safety weve been missing since minter

[rayzor]

this team has enough hype offensively that we will probably wind up with a couple. probably newton and smitty and either kalil or gross.

on defense we won't have anyone.

still...the probowl is just a joke and selections are based on hype rather than actual talent or performance.

Cam could be an alternate at this pace.

Im pretty sure the Olsen trade wasn't conditional. I think it was just a straight 3rd.

[Catalyst]

I hope so. I can't find any link that says otherwise, it's just something I thought I read when we made the deal.

This is why the Pro-Bowl sucks balls. Vick is terrible.
