That doesn't mean he won't be able to get to the pro bowl. Still a long time left. Holmes has 447 yards in 6 games. Braylon has almost 600 in 10 games. Neither will make it, but Holmes would be the one with more popularity, and much higher production per game.
Its just so people can announce them as "Pro Bowler _____" I'd rather they announce them as "Super Bowl winning _____"
I didn't think Mangold had been playing up to his normal standard this year until recently. I think the injury he was playing with was really holding him back.
Yeah, he had a good year. Sanchez is doing fantastic, but he has to beat out Rivers, Brady, and Manning. It won't happen. Do not worry about the pro bowl. Its not the validation we are looking for.

Sanchez is playing well, but no way is he at a pro bowl level.... ~81 QB rating is in the bottom third of the league, and 55% completion percentage is the third worst among qualifiers. Edwards is also only twelfth in receiving yards. Also Folk is a top five kicker in the AFC? lol Let's take our green glasses off for a second....
I said CURRENTLY playing at a pro bowl level, not deserve the Pro Bowl or should/will be in it. Not sure why you are using the entire season's statistics when I said "are playing at that level" right now....not "should be in it" In my opinion leading your team to 3 straight comeback victories and winning the AFC offensive player of the week means that you are playing at that level. 5 kickers don't make the Pro Bowl.
Of all the guys on our team seriously deserving. Harris Cromartie Moore Maybe some other love on our Oline but thats about it. By the end of the year youll probably be able to add Revis to that list as well. As amazing as Holmes and Braylon have been, theres no way you can even consider putting them above Lloyd, Andre Johnson, Bowe, or dare I say the slouch TO (lets be honest this is the best year hes had in forever) And LT has been a stud recieving out of the bacfield but you cant put him in the same category (this year) as Arian Foster, Chris Johnson, MJD and I dont know if hes even been better than Charles, Mendenhall, Hillis. Our team as a whole has been fricken awesome but on an individual basis there arent too many guys who are just wow above and beyond others @ their position this year.
I gotcha the true measure of a QB is completion percentage and QB rating. So Chad Pennington is a perennial All-Pro? Clutch wins and making spectacular throws to win a game have no bearing according to you? Sanchez isn't a Pro Bowl QB because Rivers, Brady and Manning are better. To say he isn't because of QB rating and completion % is a complete joke.
Stats are everything. They are the exact measure of a good QB. Due to Sanchez's stats he is maybe the worst QB that gets so much praise I have ever seen. What a fucking bust!!!!1111 Fire Tanny we should have kept chad!
I haven't seen a single punter come close to the almost metronomic regularity with which Weatherford has been dropping his kicks into the opposition ten from a great height - he has been absolutely mustard all season.
I voted a few weeks ago, all Jets. If nobody makes the Pro-Bowl from the Jets, oh well. In 2008 we had about 7 which was a franchise record and didn't even make the playoffs. I'd rather play the FIRST Sunday in February. That's right, they do the Pro-Bowl in between the Championship game and the SB. Our guys couldn't play anyway ;-)
