2012 Pro Bowl Rosters or an inside joke?

http://www.nfl.com/probowl/story/0ap1000000117432/article/2013-pro-bowl-rosters-afc-nfc

Among the highlights, Richard Sherman missing out, Jeff Saturday is in despite being benched this week, the Chiefs having more pro bowlers than wins

Seems every year these are hilarious, but this years seems especially hilarious.

I don't see why you think it's a joke. There's a very good reason why no Iggles got voted for. Only selection I'm questioning is Blair Walsh over Steve Weatherford.

I wouldn't have voted for any Eagles either

Questioning a kicker over a punter?

Oops, I meant Morstead, my fingers typed Walsh.

Evan Mathis should have got in for Philly at guard.

The whole Pro Bowl is a joke. Needs revamping or replacing asap

Eh Mathis wasnt that great

Allowed only one sack all season, and Philly run behind him a lot. Read up on Pro Football Focus about him, it's pretty impressive

Not shocked that Sherman wasn't picked after being accused of ped use, deserves it as a player, but he is an idiot so nobody really cares. Surprised that Cromartie wasn't picked, easily one of the top cb's this year. Don't think Daryl Washington got in either, not quite Willis or Bowman but still had a lights out season

Pff love Mathis because he acknowledges him. They're pretty biased

Check again, he's there.

great!, don't know why I missed him

The Pro Bowl has always partially been a popularity contest but to be fair this year 90% of those chosen are there on merit. Saturday is definitely the biggest joke but I can understand the reluctance to vote Sherman in considering he had the drugs speculation lingering over his head till today

Move along nothing to see here.

Cruz over Vincent Jackson and Dez Bryant is an absolute joke. Other than that I wouldn't have many problems on the NFC side, Saturday the obvious one.


Eric Berry is living off his rookie reputation despite the fact that he has been shoite for a while.

CJ Spiller has been screwed as well. Man is having an absolute beast of a season!

Spiller is being affected by getting realtively small touches but yes he has been unreal with the ball in hand.


Would argue for one of Morris/Martin (probably Morris) ahead of Gore who has been okay but not spectacular in my view.

Gore has had a good season on the ground but hasn't got the TD's or receiving game that say a Martin has produced this season.

Lets face it, it's a complete waste of time and a farce. It's painful to watch

Julio Jones isn't even the best receiver on his team, let alone in the AFC.

To be fair on Jones he would be the greatest of all time if he could be the best receiver in a conference he doesn't even play in Pr4wn............

Glad to see Dawson finally make it to the Pro Bowl! Thomas makes it 6 years in a row think that's the longest streak for a tackle.

Got that wrong Anthony Munoz and Jonathan Ogden went 11 straight, just didn't make it their rookie years.

Don't be a douche, you knew what I meant.

I was joking Pr4wn, thought that was implied. Apologies.

Ex Replacement Ref ‏@ObliviousNFLRef
The awkward moment when the 2-13 Kansas City Chiefs has more pro bowlers than the 13-2 Atlanta Falcons.

Pretty much sums the Pro Bowl up

Berry has been living off his reputation as a rookie he has been pretty poor for the last couple of seasons, Charles deserves to go, maybe Johnson but that would be pretty much it.

Hali is there isn't he? Ain't even the best LB on his own team, who are 2-14

Vikings have been screwed over a bit. Sullivan and Kalil definitely have been among the best at their positions. And despite Barron being the top drafted safet., I think Harrison Smith surprised people by being easily the best rookie safety this year

Think that could be down to neutral voters doing a homer pick and then picking those with high sack numbers.

I'm surprised Trent Williams is included given up 5 penalties, and 5.5 sacks compared to Kalil's 4 penalties and 4.5 sacks with a less mobile QB.
