Also overlooked, Koren Robinson going to the Pro Bowl! I guess a career riddled with drugs and drops plus a change of scenery and a move to special teams gets you a trip to Hawaii.

I think Dunn's deserving, but I agree Jones is the better selection. I've already mentioned what a complete joke it is that Vick was selected but Galloway not getting picked is pretty pathetic too. Guys like Brunell and Galloway who are having huge years late in their career deserve to be picked.Before the season I said I didn't think Sharper would be a Pro Bowler for the Vikings. While it's interesting to note the Packers' pass defense has gotten better without Sharper that doesn't change the fact he's had a Pro Bowl season. I was wrong about him.Weak. Despite a few bad games, Drew Bledsoe deserves to play in the Pro Bowl. I'm also a bit disappointed that Thomas Jones didn't get the nod at running back. He's been far more valuable to Chicago's limited offense than Warrick Dunn was to his (not taking anything away from how great Dunn is).
another naysayer about Joey Porter. he has come on a bit in the last few weeks, but by and large his play has hurt the team most of this year. i could think of five more worthy defenders on the steelers alone (the whole D-line, farrior, ike taylor). his selection is more ridiculous than Vick who at least has flashes of brilliance. Porter has had flashes of mediocrity of late and that's an improvement over his brutal first half of the year.

For me it would be Fitzgerald and as tough as it is to do this maybe Holt. Fitzgerald's having a fine year but I agree with the earlier comment that I'd take Boldin ahead of Fitz. But neither one should go ahead of Galloway in my opinion.

You could argue that Galloway made based upon stats only since his are slightly better than Holt's but Holt missed a couple games.5 Joey Galloway TB 71 1152 16.2 8 80
6 Torry Holt STL 88 1128 12.8 8 44
Holt is still the better pick IMO.

I think Moss would be another candidate to take off. He got off to a hot start on the season but has been putting up really mediocre numbers in the second half. Holt has played at a high level all season other than the couple of weeks he was injured and has only lately been limited by the Boy Genius experiment with Bulger out. That said, there is a real glut of talent at the WR position in the NFC this year and somebody worthy is going to get snubbed. Same with AFC RB's with Edge and Tomlinson being no brainers and leaving one of Larry Johnson, Rudi, and a couple of others left out. Rudi has definitely been putting up amazing stats the last several weeks, but unfortunately for him LJ has been putting up even better ones over the same stretch.

That was Kickoff returner Willie Ponder who led the league this year and last. The job is now sure handed Mortons.

And with Merriman making it on the AFC side I think Thurman and Tatupu can kiss the DROY goodbye, though with still 2 games left to make a last impression.He'll make it in there next year then. He's the strong presence we've needed inside for a long time. Whether he's DROY or not, I'm damn glad to have him and expect to see him in Hawaii often.

But Stone-Hands K42oRo made it. Good for him in the long run, hopefully it'll help him get over his outside ####. But as a Hawks fan it pisses me off to see him excel on another team. Thanks for showing up for us.

Hasselbeck, Alexander, Tiki, and the stronger set of receivers. I think the NFC will more than hold their own.

NFC much stronger?
After Hesselback they don't have QB that can get it done. LJ in the 4th will wear anyone out after James and LT....

Delhomme has a much better completion percentage (60.9 to 52.5) and yards per attempt (7.8 to 6.7) and a slightly better TD ratio (5.2 per 100 attempts to 4.5). Eli has turned it over two less times (18 to 20) than Delhomme. They are each the QB of a 10-4 team.

WHY is vick a probowler? most of the NFC QBs are better statistically and there are more with better records. he is 27th in qb rating, 22nd in yards passing, 20th in tds, 10th in ints thrown (meaning 9 people have thrown more ints)hes 35th in rushing yards. even real football guys cant defend this pick. i dont care if you have to prepare for him. You have to prepare for a lot of players. His record isnt even that good this year.

What BS?
-Everyone in the NFC is better than Rod Smith
-Chambers has only recently come on. He deserves to be there, but hasn't exactly been the epitome of consistency
-CJ is almost as good as he thinks he is
-Harrison is in a class by himself
While the RB trio in the AFC does have the edge, all the WRs in the NFC have outplayed the AFC wideouts with the possible exception of Santana Moss! Hell, Torry Holt has remained productive with an injured Marc Bulger, a vomiting Jamie Martin, and a nauseating Ryan Fitzpatrick! I'd like to see an AFC WR have similar stats under those circumstances.

Are people actually arguing over the outcome of the pro-bowl? I don't think they should even actually play the game.WR: Harrison, R.Smith, C.Johnson, ChambersVSHasselbeck, Alexander, Tiki, and the stronger set of receivers. I think the NFC will more than hold their own.

Vick in the probowl is ridiculous. The guy has no business being on the ballot. He is not a good QB at all and barely has his team in contention for the playoffs. How he makes it over Hasselback is beyond me. That is just plain ridiculous. My favorite player in the NFL is Roy Williams, the safety from Dallas. The guy can step up and blast you when supporting the run and that is what I love about him, that is the only thing I love about him. He can't play in coverage and he gets burned or caught out of position at least once a quarter. He has no business being in the pro bowl. The entire Bears defense should represent the NFC.

It's nice to see another FB make it other than Alstott. He is majorly overrated. The only reason he gets noticed more is because he scores TDs. It's nice to see a FB that doesn't always take the glory make it in.:X Koren Robinson :X
No Alstott
