Superman(DH23) Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Apparently Chicago got the message loud and clear as they have turned around the vote in the probowl. QB Mitch Trubisky - 3rd C Cody Whitehair - 4th OLB Khalil Mack 1st DT Akiem Hicks 4th ILB Roquan Smith 2nd CB Kyle Fuller 1st S Eddie Jackson 1st RS Tarik Cohen 1st If voting holds this way for 1 more week it is almost certain that all of these guys are going to make it. Fan voting is 1/3, Coaches and player votes each have 1/3 as well. Results will be announced live on Dec 18 Ryan Pace has yet to have a player he drafted or signed voted to the probowl in earnest (not an alternate). The Bears have not had a QB voted to the probowl since Jim McMahon. On the downside, none of our guys will be able to participate as they will be preparing for the Superbowl.

Realistically I'd say hes 3rd. Donald obviously is going to be #1 with the flashy sack numbers. Fletcher Cox #2 bc of name recognition and SuperBowl factor.

The Bears still get a few returnable kickoffs every game and I’d much rather see Cohen back there than Mizzell or Cunningham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I could not care less about the Pro Bowl as a game, it is completely and utterly terrible any more. BUT - I do care about the players getting recognition, and as we have had several players like Hicks be critically undervalued it is great to see them get listed in the top of the voting like this. I care far more about the All Pro listing, but I would love to finally see the Bears heavily represented in the Pro Bowl ballot. Long would be listed there as well, but I am not surprised Leno doesn't seem to get any love. LT is a damn hard spot to crack with the name recognition alone from being a top 5 draft pick, let alone established guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because on the voting Hicks is listed as a DE, and when compared to other DE's he doesn't have the pure sack numbers, so common fans don't know his impact on the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damikeeeee Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Is Roquan overrated or are there just no good ILBs in the NFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been getting better, but I wouldn't say is playing at a pro bowl level yet. I couldn't even name 10 other NFC ILBs off top of my head. ILB is kind of the throw away position in the NFL these days even though it is important. It may be college reputation. A lot of talking heads predicted he would be DROY. That plays a part too. People like to be correct in their predictions and opinions. I think we see a different Roquan next year with a full offseason more in line with what people were expecting.
