lol I don't get it either, remember when he had the shotgun snapping issue where he was tossing them over the QB's head all the time? How this guy is a multiple Pro Bowl player is beyond me.

What's interesting is that once offensive linemen, particularly centers, get selected once they just keep getting selected to the Pro Bowl, even if they have shitty seasons. I think you'll rarely find a center that has had like one or two Pro Bowl appearances. It's usually like 3-5 over the span of a career.

I mean, Chris Samuels probably got in once or twice when he didn't really deserve it. So I think it's just one of those things akin to unseating the incumbent in politics or dethroning the champ in boxing. Weird.

It's seems fairly simple to me; play makers get in, and the rest don't. Simple as that. Hall, regardless of what we think of his coverage skills, is a ball hawk and play maker. I can only think of a handful of plays, if that, when London turned the game in our favor or gave us momentum.

Fletcher is smart, he's solid in the middle, a high character guy and all of that, but he's an average play maker at best. I'm just saying.

Ochocinco has earned the respect he gets for being a good WR. So has Moss, what has Miles Austin done to get the lovefest he gets.

Dirtbag59 · 01-01-2011, 03:38 PM

Actually I think that this time next year Brandon Lloyd will grab that honor to. I'm also tempted to call Welker overrated but the fact that he's played this year has been a miracle in and of itself. I'll wait till next year as well to reserve judgement.

Ocho and moss Were great players key word were. Miles Austin Is a top 10 WR and I don't think any would argue that.

Go!

I think Austin would have been a lock if romo stayed healthy.. Their offense went to a run first and short pass game with kitna.. Either way he's in the top 10.

He's the best all around WR in the NFC East IMO With nicks a close 2nd

tryfuhl · 01-19-2011, 04:41 AM

Yeah.. if Chi wins Fletcher is in too

hooskins · 01-19-2011, 09:14 AM

Obviously this is a stats league, but not including Fletch is a huge snub.

hooskins · 01-19-2011, 09:15 AM

In fact, I take him over Rack and Rodgers.

hooskins · 01-19-2011, 09:15 AM

Hall***

My sig says it all... most people including Skins fans don't give Hall the credit he deserves.

hooskins · 01-19-2011, 09:30 AM

Yeah he deserves so much credit. I haven't seen people get burned like him in ages. Comparing him to Deion is a joke.

He had two great games this year, one of which was handed to him by Cutler. He lost games for us too. Tampa was the last one I remember.
