Who gives a shit about the pro bowl. It's a popularity contest.

And you can thank Tim Tebow for Von Miller making the pro bowl. They get so much pub that people noticed.

One thing I'll add: Brian Urlacher is probably the most overrated player of his generation.

Maybe I've got my homer glasses on, but I'd put DJ as a top 3 or 4 ILB in the NFL at this point. He really has blossomed. Hope he has a solid 4 or 5 years left.

Unique player. Covers a gigantic middle zone in pass coverage better than any M/I LB in NFL history. Is fast and can really get to the corner. Where he is weak is basic M/I LB duty, interior run stuff. Is easily washed by OLs.

LOL No kidding. Gates missed a 1/3 of the season and Rivers throws a bajillion INTs.

Fletcher >>>>> urlacher

If it is a popularity contest, how come Matt Cassel made it twice?

I can't believe that Matt Cassel didnt make the Pro bowl what a joke

... in basic interior run stuff, absolutely.

In coverage, get real. Fletcher is not a coverage guy. Urlacher was a college safety.

How many times was he voted in and not brought on as an alternated?

ah, details...

Rivers and Gates ROFL I'm sure there were douches that voted for Ocho Stinko as well.

Fair, dont know why I didnt think of coverage.

Urlacher is the greatest coverage LB in NFL history. As a run stuff guy, he has great range, but his tall frame is easily blocked.

Eh, there was nobody to rob. There were only 2 deserving when Manning missed the year and Schaub got hurt. It was Rivers, Dalton, or Tebow for the 3rd spot.
