This year greenbay has improved to have 1 player in the probowl, which is a big step from NONE the previous season.

Oh boy, I can just hear PackCan now!<BR>

What a ****ing rip...it's all political...

12-14-2000, 12:16 PM

I can hear Mike Keck quacking from here.....

It's not political. It's STUPID fans that don't know football. You should be required to pass a simple football knowledge test prior to your ballot being accepted, IMHO.

I agree with a few of you here that the probowl is mostly popularity and how well your team does the the individual players and how well they have been doing.

Griese might be more deserving if he wasn't injured most the season. Kearse was not having a very impressive year. There are a few that the article mentions as well.

For Gannon's sake he better have his coach as the coach, otherwise he could look really bad.

Another reason why direct popular vote doesn't work!

I'm all for coaches or players (peers) picking the ProBowl rosters...<BR>

58Forever · 12-14-2000, 12:22 PM

Kloster, that's what I'm saying...it's just like the Baseball Allstar game...the idiot fans vote for the names they recognize...that's what I mean by political...

KCTitus · 12-14-2000, 12:22 PM

This is exactly why I place very little value in the Probowl.

It's not a true measure of a player's season. It's a popularity contest.

Gruden can't be the coach of the AFC squad. It will be the coach of the Colts, Jets, or Steelers - whichever team comes closest but ultimately fails to reach the playoffs.

We're all whining now but nobody was crying in 95 & 97, were we? Bono pro-bowl bound? Please....

**morphius** · 12-14-2000, 12:32 PM

Kphob - Those are the coaches that do the Senior Bowl, are they not? I wouldn't think that they would do both the Senior and the Probowl.

bishop_74 · 12-14-2000, 12:39 PM

Well, I guess we can thank the coaching staff for blowing some wonderful opportunities for some of our talented players. This pi*#es me off!!! They deserve to be recognized for their hard work and talent.

I thought the coaches that do the Senior bowl were the losers of the Conference Championship game. I might have it backwards though.

Cannibal · 12-14-2000, 12:45 PM

The coaches of the Senior Bowl, are the coaches of the teams that finished with best records in each conference, but failed to make the playoffs.

That's why last's years Senior Bowl coaches were Cunningham and Seifert.
