Tell me why Seymour and Bru should be in the pro bowl using stats and fact. I'm not a jets fan, I'm honest. Bru is not even close to a good NFL lb, nm a pro bowler at this time.

This is not a stat driven defense, so the stats do not mean much... not sure about Bruschi, but Seymour deserves it.. some people like to argue for the sake of argument, others read and learn... Seymour is having a pro bowl year.

i can believe philip rivers isn't in the running because the first results are fan voting

but the guy is statistically the best qb in the afc, and #2 in the entire nfl

just proves the pro bowl from the fans portion, is a farce

the players and coaches do a much fairer job

Seymour is having his best statistical season yet, on pace for 62.4 tackles and 9.6 sacks as a 3-4 defensive end. He's likely to get a spot because he has name value and strong stats and the reason he's in the running is because he's been extremely good this year.

It could be worse, it could be the NBA:
Do you remember when Kobe STARTED the ALL STAR GAME when he wasn't even a starter on his OWN team.

Of course, the NFL had their own version of that last year when Marion Barber made the team after not starting all season.

Fan voting is an even bigger joke than the OP even realized .... Redskins marketing department has the entire roster stocked with Skins ...

20 Redskins in Pro Bowl? Look at voting - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Leave No Doubt

They can have the marketing savvy, we'll take the field savvy any day

From the article:

"The Redskins’ campaign has been so effective that the NFL felt the need to raise the issue in an e-mail sent last week to the digital media departments of all 32 teams by George Scott, the league’s general manager, club sites, at NFL Digital Media.

“As it stands right now, the Redskins are leading the NFC ballots in 16 of 19 positions,” said the e-mail, a copy of which was provided to The Associated Press. “It’s no surprise, given that they have been promoting this all season long. … This would be a great weekend to promote Pro Bowl voting to your fans. Let me know if you need any ideas or support from the league (or the Redskins) in this important initiative.”

But some of the leads—including Sellers’—are so large they could be tough to surmount under the complex formula the NFL uses for apportioning votes. The situation is somewhat reminiscent of last season, when the ever-popular Dallas Cowboys sent 13 players to Hawaii."

bruschi definitely shouldnt be. moss, i guess you could make an argument, but i dont think he should make it

So last year we have eight and this year it looks like we are going to have none.

The Pro Bowl is a waste of time. Nobody watches it and the players only go because they get a bonus paycheck and a nice vacation in Hawaii. The NFL should get rid of it.
