-RG3

Happy for the players. As a fan, BFD.

Notice how RG3 got in as a 'first ballot' pro bowler and had to leave because of injury; whereas Russell Wilson and Luck were 2nd and 3rd alternates and only got in because of injuries to the other QBs; translation RG3 is clearly better than them in the fan/player/coaches eyes.

Um....I've been a Kerrigan backer since day one but how did he get in the pro bowl?
Seems to me he got shut down a lot the last half of the season.

We were expecting a monster year from Kerrigan and it didn't quite happen, but he did have an outstanding year.

54 tackes, 4 TFL, 8.5 sacks, 2 FF, 1 recovery, 1 INT, 8 pass deflections, another defensive TD.

Maybe Orakpo's absense allowed the opposition to concentrate more on him with double teams. When Rak is on the field, they both deserve a double, but that's impossible. They help each other just by being on the field together.

I did see Kerrigan being held by the neck all year, of course uncalled. Orakpo gets the same treatment.

No, I notice how Russell and Luck are there because they are smarter making decisions on the field as QB's whereas RG3 runs around recklessly and then selfishly plays on a severely compromised knee, saying dumb things like "bring it on!" to NFL Defenses that did just that... Translation RG3 will watch the "alternatives" on TV in the Pro Bowl. RG3 has great raw talent, but a lot to learn...

4/5 of those players deserve to be in the pro bowl. Anthony Spencer deserved the pro bowl bid more than Kerrigan. Still glad to see London get respect.

Things have changed the last few years. Fletch gets a ton of respect from fans and media. I think since the skins have gotten more attention(basically rg3) and since Fletchers starting streak has grown, people are paying him the long overdue attention he deserved.

Wow, what a turn-around. We haven't seen many PBers in recent years.

Sadly, the most-deserving Redskin not named RGIII isn't in. Alfred Morris was second in the NFL in rushing and didn't make it? Explain that.

The game is a meaningless joke anyway. Tom Brady is sitting out with another "undisclosed injury"...must be a bruised ego again.

I think he just doesn't want to risk injury. As you said the game is a joke so if you're Brady why risk it? Peyton always plays in it though....

Brady cares most about himself.

Peyton actually shows some appreciation towards his fans.

That is why Brady has played in so many SB's, He's smart, he protects himself for the most important thing, playing football at a high level with no serious injury.

Payton is great, I actually like him better than Brady as a QB but at the end of the day, both will do what is best for themselves.

Give me a QB that stays healthy and wins SB's for the Skins and I could care less if he shows me any appreciation as a fan...
