Fred Taylor to replace FWP on the AFC pro-bowl (1 Viewer)

wouldn't this count as old news ? I mean we all knew Fred Taylor was first in line if someone bowed out or was forced out due to injury and I would hope people realized that seeing FWP broke his leg that Fred Taylor was finally going to get a pro bowl.

 
Ironic, as he should have been there instead of FWP anyway. :shrug:
FWP was leading the NFL in rushing when he went down -- that usually gets you in.
Fair enough - I'm just saying that there had been strong sentiment that Taylor should have been there too. Certainly I am not celebrating the injury, I just found it ironic.
This is a by-product of confusing the lines between FF and the NFL. Owners hated FWP for taking him so early and not getting the TD production out of him that they were expecting, and that leads to some unfounded opinion that he doesn't desere the probowl. But the Steelers were getting what they wanted/needed out of him and he was leading the league in rushing. They didn't care who got them into the end zone. And if you rush more than anyone else, it's pretty hard to argue that anyone else was doing a better job of rushing.
