What...no Lions???

3 VIKES on defensive line. Jared Allen is an outstanding pass rusher. Can't run through this line. NFC MLB Patrick Willis has really stepped up his game under head coach Mike Singletary. Some great talent here.

brett favre? seriously? being on a good team doesnt make you a pro bowler. and being on a bad team shouldnt hold you back.

calvin johnson shoudl be on there. 2nd best wr in the nfc after steve smith.

4th in yards in the nfc. 2nd in touchdowns. all this with 4 guys rotating at the qb position and being double and triple teamed all year.

 

[AverageAllStar]

Dallas Clark should be going instead of Antonio Gates.

 

[young_guns]

rivers should be on, steve slaton, calvin johnson

Dallas Clark should be going instead of Antonio Gates.

i disagree...gates has better numbers...and clark has been hurt throughout the season

Jets = Good
Chargers = Suck

Plus, the voting is done primarily by moron fans who do nothing but vote in their favorite players, as opposed to the best players who deserve to go.

That's exactly why the NFL Pro Bowl and the MLB All-Star Game are nothing but jokes.

ahem. have you heard of the nfc.

houston plays in the afc

truth. but i can still complain.

brett is farve from good. eh ohhhhh

Clark 63 receptions 684 yds. 5 TD
Gates 53 receptions 612 yds. 6 TD

Unless you weigh a single touchdown as overshadowing receptions and yardage, I'd say Clark has a slight edge. He hasn't missed a game all year either so I don't know where you are getting the "hurt throughout the season" take.

That said, I'd say both players are deserving with the edge to Clark in my book.

ahem. have you heard of the nfc.

LOL....sorry dude. Dyslexia must be getting worse. My bad....

greg jennings? he's having a awesome year...

I agree!

[cabey]

maybe this will settle the witten / TO debacle

 

[Magnet]

Only 5 cowboys? Down quite a bit from last year when we have 13!

Bradie James should have made it. He has been amazing all year.

I cant believe DeAngelo Williams didnt make it. He is fourth in rushing yards, tied for second in touchdowns. Also averaging 5.5 yards per carry.

Seems like the voting was complete at about mid-way through the season. Seeing in how some of the guys who had hot starts to the season then fizzled out made the pro bowl but many of the guys who got hot later in the season didnt make it.

 

[bonkers69]

at least the 2 broncos who maybe deserve to go got votes, and got in. Jay Cutler with time will be one of the greats, and same as Brandon Marshall if he can keep his head out of his ass

One could argue that Gates has it tougher because they have defensive schemes made up partialy to stop him. Clark also has Manning throwing to him and Harrison and Wane to take off some of the pressure, while on the other hand LdT's perfromance has dramatically fallen off. I wonder how many times Clark has even seen a double team because of that.
