ain't no big deal.

increasingly shallow honor that goes to the most hyped teams and players. being popular is more important than being good.

and the game has been a joke for years. players not being allowed to go because of being in the superbowl and alternates going dilutes the supposed talent in the game and then you've got people not wanting to bother with it at all.

and then there's the potential of serious injury do to someone taking it seriously when most don't and the fact that it's in a game that doesn't matter. look at the way the defense went after cam when the OL was half assing it and tell me you weren't worried about him getting hurt and missing time.

and then there's all the stuff that brandt talked about here: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/the-pro-bowl-problem.html

doesn't bother me at all that panther players don't make the pro-bowl, in fact i prefer it.

Honestly, I have 0 problems with this. Washington IMO should be a pro-bowler and Fletcher had a great season, especially down the stretch.

Keek is a rookie, he'll have a bunch of chances to be in the pro bowl and more importantly the All Pro team.

What makes you say that? He led the NFL in tackles as a rookie and got hardly no attention, what makes you think when he does it again but as a veteran, will get him more attention. Cam got all the attention last year, and hardly any this year even with being statistically better and a better w/l....the truth is the nfl is a joke when it comes to small market teams

if we win games, more people will notice...esp. if we win games early in the season rather than late.

hype comes with winning for the non-massive market teams.

Rayzor pretty much said what most of what I was going to say. Remember he'll only get better as a player too. We've only scratched the surface of Keek. He'll get better at diagnosing plays and knowing when not to crash the LOS, and get sucked into play action like he did this year. He will improve when covering big TEs. He can also develop his effectiveness on blitzes where he rushes the QB.

      After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
