Only CJ makes the roster. Stafford get's snubbed for Eli Manning. If Brees of Rodgers makes the Super Bowl, Stafford could still get in.

It's because of they are not on the radar and of their recent reputation. I consider it a positive development.

The way things are I wouldnt be that surprised if Cam got it before Staff did. Even though Staff deserves it.

Stafford is listed as the alternate, so he'll get in 1st. Cam had a great year too with the 14 rushing TDs on top of his passing stats.

The Pro Bowl is pointless. I'd rather our guys not play in it, so I'm not heartbroken that they weren't chosen.

Calvin won't get to play with the Super Bowl being the following week

Holy crap, I am now hearing that Stafford is the 2nd alternate behind Cam Newton, so there's little chance he gets in.

I mean seriously? Stafford is the 5th best QB in the NFC this year? WTF?

Good. I'm glad they all got snubbed. Maybe that will give them some extra motivation for the playoffs. Seriously, I don't care if Stafford had thrown for 6000 yards and 60 td's and got snubbed. It's a meaningless all star game that no one watches. I just can't get upset about guys not making all star teams.

Seriously, who gives a shit?

If my team won a championship and had no pro bowlers, I wouldn't care about the pro bowl.

Coincidentally

If my team had 12 pro-bowlers and got ass raped in the first round, I wouldn't care about the pro bowl either.


5, 10, 20 years from now are these worthless selections in an irrelevant game going to mean anything?

When Stafford is being elected to the hall of fame with only 14 pro bowls instead of 15, it may just hurt his chances to not make first ballot.

Fuck a pro bowl. NFL.com basically tells me that i can vote a trillion times if i want to. Not to mention that an objective decision is not a requirement.

 

[motown1958]

based on numbers alone he should have gotten the nod over cam and eli. but who cares. Suh didnt get in either so obviously its not a real determination of how good a player is.

Pro Bowl or no Pro Bowl you gotta love this kid's talent. And the fact is I wouldn't trade him for Eki even if we got a #1 pick with it.

 

[themadbomber]

Most of the guys on NFL Network all say it's a shame that Stafford didn't make the team, and from the shows I've watched he the unanimous biggest snub

Oh well

If it wasn't for the "Glove Games" his numbers would be undeniable. Unfortunately he threw 64% of his INTs in those three games.
