Nelson and Ebron make the pro bowl
 

No surprise there. Surprised Leonard didn't make it.

I get Mahomes, but Rivers and Cheaty over Luck is just dumb.

I think Tom Brady would make the pro bowl even if he was out there for the year.

Chargers are 11-3 and rivers is having a good year. No surprise there.

Also 5 alternates Named.....

Among those who have been selected as Pro Bowl alternates for this year's game: defensive tackle Denico Autry, wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, center Ryan Kelly, linebacker Darius Leonard and quarterback Andrew Luck.

Which is bullshit.

Rivers is not playing better than Luck.

Leonard and Luck shouldn't have to be alternates.

It's always been a popularity contest first. Always more deserving players get left out

The Colts were 1-5 coming out of the gate and Luck was ok. Then he got hot.

Leonard has been hot all flipping year, he got screwed

I'll try and find the positive here...

You know this is just gonna make Leonard play even harder down the stretch. :D

More fuel for the Maniac's fire. Getting snubbed is what got him here.

It is a crowded field anymore in the AFC with QBs.

Rivers
Luck
Watson
Roethlisberger
Brady
Mahomes


You only get 3, and they all have their merits, as much as I hate some of them.

Luck should be in the top 3 their though, really second behind Mahomes.

Certainly ahead of Watson, Roethlisberger, and Brady.

Rivers is having an amazing year. The gap between he, Mahomes, and Luck and then the rest of the AFC quarterbacks is wide.

Brady sucks.

eh. I dont watch chargers games but from what I have seen on highlights and stats, rivers and luck are playing basically playing at the same level and his team has a better record.

Rk Player Team Pos Comp Att Pct Att/G Yds Avg Yds/G TD Int 1st 1st% Lng 20+ 40+ Sck Rate

7 Andrew Luck IND QB 375 557 67.3 39.8 3,951 7.1 282.2 34 13 202 36.3 68T 43 5 16 98.4
7 Philip Rivers LAC QB 310 447 69.4 31.9 3,951 8.8 282.2 31 8 193 43.2 75T 59 10 28 112.4

Same yards on 100 fewer throws, better comp %, better TD to INT ratio...

I will say that with all the bitching on this board about how Ballard just shit the bed by not spending any money on free agents he did land one pro-bowler and one pro-bowl alternate thru free agency last year. Is the bitch about results or the fact that he didn't spend a lot of money?

The pro bowl has turned into a game of two hand touch, so who gives a shit!

The players that win get $64k and the losers get $32k... not a bad payday for playing some two hand touch.... so the players that got snubbed might give a shit.

I'll also add... why the fuck does Brady get selected? He turns his nose up at it every year and then he hasn't played that well this year but still gets in.

Oh I forgot Brady and Kraft suck a lot of ducks to get what they want.

You're probably right about the players, but the fans don't, there will be a lot of people who go to that game disguised as empty seats

I'm sure you meant something other than " ducks"

They didn't watch him when he was in SD

Meh, Rivers does have a slightly better stat line, but should lose a ton of points for being the biggest douchebag in the NFL.

Haha fucking auto correct

If being a douchebag disqualified you from the Pro Bowl no Pats player would ever make it.

Really though Brady is the one that does not belong this year. If it was Luck, Mahommes and Rivers, would be fine with it

For me, Rivers is right up there with Cheaty for shitty overrated QBs. I'd also be fine with the group you listed, but also fuck Philip Rivers.

A little more fuel for Leonard's fire - here's an article from NFL.com listing the biggest pro bowl "snubs". Leonard makes the list at fifth, but he's four spots behind the supposed worst snub - LOGAN VANDER ESCH:

Thank you for the link, Chaka.

That writer is all sorts of confused. He didn't even have Luck or OBJ on his list of snubs. Plus to have Leonard below VanDerDeusch is just stupid.

Damn NFL media just love a white linebacker huh?

Who gives a shit? We beat the cowgirls 23-0.

Generally I agree Rivers as a player, and the Chargers as a team, are ones that never seem to live up to the hype.

Rivers is generally a good but not great QB. He is not a QB of the caliber of Manning, Rodgers, I hate to say it but Brady, Roethlisberger. The people who mention him as a HOFer are delusional. Of his era he is like a low end top 10 QB, not HOF material in the least.

But he has had a great season

And we will see if the Chargers can live up to their reputation and record in the playoffs

I'd personally love for the Colts to have a chance for the Chargers in the playoffs as the underdogs this time.

Like 1995....

On the topic of Pro-Bowl snubbs, here is a stat that I found incredible:
Holy crud, really? 7 sacks in only 38 pass rush attempts? Incredible.

I love this kid. A true home run by Ballard.

Walk Worthy,

Because of the fact that I am thoroughly enjoying the emergence of the Colts' defense, offensive line, and streak of having won 7 out of their last 8 games, I don't care about the awards, either.

I repeat myself but Ballard also hit a home run in free agency this year. As good a draft and free agent class as I can ever remember the Colts (or really anyone else) having

Just ridiculous. I hope this is plastered all over twitter.

Logan? That's not a sissy name like Leighton. Be sure to put the sissified name in the future.

May as well be Gaylord Vander-douche.

I've watched a few of his games. He looks like a Rob Morris 2.0 that is hyped because he is a Cowgirl...

No he isn't that bad lol.. but they are hyping him more than he is.

It really doesn't matter because his given name is as pretentious as his team and its followers.

Very true

Agree 100%, I read that it was his staff that put him on the board, Ballard had to be convinced. I cant find the article anymore.

With the amount of " home runs " Ballard has in regards to th draft, maybe we should nickname him "Babe" .
