Redskins Dominating in Pro Bowl Voting

RMSkins · 11-18-2008, 03:17 PM

ESPN - Fitzgerald seventh in Pro Bowl voting - NFL Nation
It seems like the "Vote the Redskins Ticket" campaign is working. A Redskins player leads the fan vote at virtually every position. I thought this might be of some interest to people around here. I like that the fans are out voting for our players, but guys like Heyer, Springs, Taylor, and Plackemeier definitely don't deserve to be in the Pro Bowl. On the flip side guys that actually deserve it like Fletcher, Portis, Sellers, Horton, and Samuels all lead by a healthy margin.

Add in Deangelo Hall and he might get in too.

I like the comment on the bottom of the page about Redskins fans. What a hater. I like what I see though. There should have been more burg and gold in the Pro Bowl last year.

That is insanity. I guess that is what happens when DS throws some money at an issue. You can also consider it blow back for the thirteen Cowboys that made the Pro Bowl last year. Hopefully London will finally get the much deserved nod that has eluded him his entire career.

lol, that's great. love the comments.

For what it's worth, I only voted for Redskins that I believe are worthy:

Portis
Sellers (FB)
Cooley
Samuels
Moss
Campbell
Fletcher
Rogers
Horton

I feel strongly that it cheapens the honor to vote for an entire "team ticket" the way the FO is marketing fans to do.

Plus when it come to navigating the site that pop up becomes a constant pian.

Keep in mind the fan voting only accounts for 1/3 of the votes to get players in. The coaches and players have votes for the other 2/3.

BrunellMVP? · 11-18-2008, 04:51 PM

See, i'm not of the belief that we should vote our guys in...
all it does is drive up the cost of our own players when we want to resign them and it COULD (not will) foster complacency. I like my guys hungry and motivated. While being motivated and a pro-bowler is NOT mutually exclusive, it is certainly a possibility...

I'm all for Redskins players being in the Pro Bowl, so long as they deserve it. Guys like London Fletcher, C-Po, Santana Moss, and them deserve it. People on other teams are trying to get recognized too, and it's not fair to no recognize them due to homerism.

Agree 100%. I would actually be kinda mad if some of those guys got in from us. I just hope Fletcher finally makes it, guy has been great.

TheSmurfs22 · 11-18-2008, 08:37 PM

Fletcher needs to be there along with Portis and Moss.

I agree. And being able to vote multiple times reminds me of the shady voting practices that robbed Chief Zee of his trophy last summer.

I've voted Fletch and Sellers repeatedly. Portis, Carlos, Samuels, Campbell, Moss, Landry, and Cooley occasionally. Even Horton and Kendall a couple of times. Fletcher and Sellers have been snubbed to long. But like Matty said, our vote only counts 1/3, the players and the coaches take care of the rest. I don't think some of our players deserve it, and probably won't go anyway with only 1/3 of the vote.

hooskins · 11-18-2008, 09:38 PM

Personally I dont see anything wrong in voting for your Skins. Again, as mentioned, it's only weighted as 1/3
