Hi, I'm super sorry I havent posted in awhile but I'm gonna try to start posting more in the next bit of the season. I've missed a lot and I hope you have watched a lot of football, but today, the pro bowl teams were announced and I am going to be writing about players I think should have made it, and players that were good picks into the pro bowl. If you want to see the pro bowl teams, check it out @: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000760503/article/nfl-announces-2017-pro-bowl-rosters
Here it is:
DESERVED TO MAKE IT AND MADE IT:
DeMarco Murray, RB, Titans:
After a Offensive Player of the Year winning year with the Cowboys in 2014, Murray had a huge slump year last year with the Eagles before coming to the Titans this season and playing out of his mind. Murray has been one of the best players this season and it would have been just stupid if he didn't make the pro bowl.
Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons:
Ryan has always been a decent QB, but this year he has been insane. Ryan is a top MVP candidate and has lead the Falcons to a playoff team. Ryan has been playing like an elite QB and it would have been a sad surprise if he didn't end up making the pro bowl.
Other good picks: Travis Fredrick C Cowboys, Lorenzo Alexander LB Bills, Tyreek Hill returner Chiefs
THE ROOKIES:
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott, and Chiefs WR/Returner Tyreek Hill were the only rookies to make the pro bowl, did they deserve it over some of the leagues best veterans?
For sure, these are 3 of the best rookies this season and they deserved it. Zeke Elliott is leading the league in rushing and has a LOT OF rushing TD's, Dak Prescott has been a crazy surprise and has quarterbacked the Cowboys to the top NFC team, and Tyreek Hill has lead the Chiefs offense and return team to a playoff team. Hill has blazing speed and has scored a bunch of TD's and set some records while he was at it.
SHOULD HAVE MADE IT, BUT DIDN'T:
Terelle Pryor WR, Browns: After a few seasons with different teams as a backup QB, this off-season, Pryor apparently became "obsessed" with catching footballs and decided he wanted to convert positions to play receiver. After a amazing pre-season, Pryor became the no. 1 receiver in Cleveland, playing great even with terrible QB's. Pryor should have made the Pro Bowl because he lead the worst team in the league and gives them a little hope. If the Browns had good QB's, imagine how much even BETTER Pryor could be. WHO HE COULD HAVE REPLACED: Amari Cooper, Raiders
Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans:
As a rookie last season, having lead his team to being the worst team in the league ending up with the first pick in the draft and in one season change his team to a playoff contender is really hard to do, and he did it. He has had an insane year with lots of TD's and not many interceptions and giving the Titans a great year for one of the first times in a long time and they could easily still make the playoffs barely losing a first place division tie with the Houston Texans. WHO HE COULD HAVE REPLACED: Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers
Kam Chancellor, Seahawks:
Chancellor in my mind, was a lock to make the pro bowl. On the Seahawks D, Kam makes play after play after play for them which sometimes even wins them insanely close games like when they upset the white hot Patriots in New England which everyone thought was impossible. Chancellor is a great safety and is one of the biggest playmakers in the league. WHO HE COULD HAVE REPLACED: Landon Collins, Giants
Other Snubs: Jimmy Graham TE Seahawks, LeGarrette Blount RB Patriots
SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT:
Ben Roethlisberger, QB Steelers:
Sure he had a decent season, but there are some much better AFC QB's who deserved to make it. Marcus Mariota with his insane turn around year, Andrew Luck with yet another GREAT season, even maybe Andy Dalton who is having an under the radar great season. Ben has put up decent stats but the Steelers haven't been looking their best in the passing game this season and Ben is just a fan favorite so he made it.
Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Cardinals:
I know since everyone thinks that this will be Larry's last season they are trying to get him in the Pro Bowl, even if it is his last season, don't put Fitz in the pro bowl. Fitz has had a pretty bad season, especially compared to the great one he had last year with MVP candidate Carson Palmer playing great, now their age is catching up on both of the star Cardinals and so they shouldn't have made it. The fans didn't put Carson Palmer in which was a relief, but still when there are receivers like Dez Bryant who didn't make it because of some old receiver that has had a pretty bad year, its kinda annoying.
Devonta Freeman, RB, Falcons:
I was surprised when I saw Freeman's name on the Pro Bowl list. Freeman didn't really deserve the pro bowl this season after seeing how well some of the other NFC RB's have been playing. Freeman had a monster season last year making me think he was the best RB in the league but after a somewhat disappointing year this year, I don't think he should be playing in Hawaii this year.
Other bad picks: Ha Ha Clinton-Dix S Packers, Amari Cooper WR Raiders
Thanks for reading and I will try hard to start posting a lot again! :)
