pwny Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 The more I think about Fred getting treated like a second class citizen because "no pro bowls" the angrier I get. In 1998, Taylor has 40 more yards and 11 more TDs than Eddie George. George gets into the Pro Bowl, Taylor doesn't. In 2000, Taylor has 40 more yards and 7 more TDs than Corry Dillon, Dillon gets into the Pro Bowl, Taylor doesn't. Then throw in the NFC players that he was better than... In 1998, Emmitt Smith gets a Pro Bowl nod in the NFC despite fewer yards and fewer TDs. In 2000, Stephen Davis gets a Pro Bowl nod in the NFC despite fewer yards and fewer TDs. In 2002, Ahman Green and Michael Bennet get a Pro Bowl nod in the NFC despite fewer yards and fewer TDs. In 2003, Stephen Davis has over 300 fewer yards, but one more TD and he gets a Pro Bowl nod. If he had gotten the Pro Bowl nods in the years he was legitimately better than players who made the Pro Bowl, this argument is something no one is making. It's complete BS. He should have been a 3 time Pro Bowler, and if the rosters weren't split/he played in the NFC, he should have had at least 5. And you could probably get him to 7 if he played in a large market that gave him the edge that other guys got over him in voting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s even more insulting is he only made that one Pro Bowl because Willie Parker pulled out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why even keep including them if your gonna keep putting in every first time nominee instead? It feels insulting. Like they know they're gonna put through some others, first time nominees through instead...so they toss a Jaguar or two on there as "filler" on the ballot. Like they're throwing Jacksonville fans a bone or something. Which is just disrespectful, when there's no apparent intent to actually induct them.

pwny Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 And yet again, Boselli didn’t get elected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Buzz Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Sounds like he was top 10 again. With Faneca now in, and no other elite OL in the horizon (Kreutz maybe?), think there's a real shot next year. However, as I've said, I'll believe it when I see it.
