As of right now NO pro bowl for panthers.

Panthers rookie Luke Kuechly is 4th Pro Bowl alternate at inside LB. If SF makes Super Bowl, it would knock out starters Bowman and Willis.

Maybe he'll get a hangnail, claim injury and sit out the game while enjoying the sunshine and weather of Hawaii.... like 70% of the starters do anyway...

Seriously you guys would rather our players NOT make the pro bowl?

smh

can't take at least half of you guys seriously

Tolbert, Hardy, and CJ should all made the team as reserves and Tolbert should be starting and it's a shame no panthers are on the roster (as of now)

yes. absolutely.

it's an increasingly hollow honor based on fan votes being unlimited in the amount of times they can vote and fans of hyped players/teams creating macros to allow them to vote millions of times if they wish.

based on players from two teams being eliminated due to playing in the superbowl, effectively watering down the talent even further and causing more alternates to go.

based on top players refusing to go.

based on the "game" being seen as a poor excuse for a game that very few care to watch.

and then there's the nightmare it is for GMs to deal with from players wanting to cash in on their status and agents trying to use it as a reason to try and get their players either better contracts or better situations and other agents trying to steal players taking advantage of the unrestricted access to players participating in or just there as a spectator.

and then there's the fact that while most players tend to take it easy, some try to use it as an opportunity to show off and piss players off who in turn quit taking it easy and catch someone unsuspecting potentially causing serious injury...or just those clowns wanting to make a statement and making unnecessarily hard hits on players not expecting anyone to take it seriously.

players getting named as all- pros....i'll take that all day. legit honor. pro- bowl, tho....not so much.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
