Patriots' Pro Bowl-caliber players

[Avenger]

Ridley is #3 in rushing yards in the AFC, he will probably get in, Welker and Gronk are no brainers, Vollmer and Mankins maybe, possibly Solder, Tom Brady will get in Manning will be the starter due to media ball washing.

Mayo and Spikes have chances, Wilfork will get in, Jones might, Ninkovich is a possibility.

Slater, McCourty and Cole are possibilities

You guys are crazy. Chandler Jones? No freakin' way. Actually nobody from our defense to be honest.

Brady, Gronk, Vollmer are the locks.

Welker a solid probability.

The rest? None of them DESERVE to be on there, but you could make a case for a bunch I guess.

Worthy of serious considerstion:
- Brady
- Ridley
- Gronk
- Welker
- Solder
- Vollmer

Worthy of discussion:
- Wilfork (though a liability in pass rush)
- Jones (pray that he doesn't hit the Rookie Wall)

Worthy if 2nd half > 1st half:
- Hernandez (has missed too many games so far)
- Lloyd (just too much competition throughout the league & in NE)
- Spikes (run defense & hitting HOF-caliber, pass coverage barely NFL-caliber)
- McCourty (position switch hurts stock, unless INTs pile up)

No Feckin Way:
- Mankin$ (breaking down before our eyes; days of Pro Bowls are ovah)
- Ninko (passrushing too inconsistent due to lack of explosion & power)
- Mayo (too many missed/late tackles, too few negative plays)

Nobody else on Offense (sorry, Wendell & Connolly) or especially Defense is worthy of even the slightest mention; the specialists are adequate, but nothing special, including our ST "Ace"(snicker).

Seriously? What does he deserve credit for? The Jets are 1-6 without Revis and have allowed 25.5 points per game.
So Cromartie gets credit because they had Revis but stink without him?

When did it become Cromartie's fault that they suck in every phase of the game? He, individually, does an excellent job. Not his fault that the rest of the team around him is terrible.

Mayo has a decent shot, he has been one of our few bright spots
Mankins has a good chance if he stays relatively healthy
Ninko has an outside chance as a backup/replacement if his play continues to rise.

I came here to post about Solder and i see a few people have mentioned him.

Dude has been pretty damn solid for us in pass protection and is a tough run blocker.
