the pro bowl is voted on by not only peers, but fans as well

you notice how many more fans we have this year? a lot of those fans are just bandwagon fans and a lot of the votes that goodwin got as well as most of our players, are bandwagon votes

i believe he made the pro bowl because of the success of the team.....not because of his ability as a player

As far as money is concerned, making more money doesn't mean you're the better player.

not necessarily.....but usually you can tell who the better players are by who makes the most money.....you wouldnt expect a good player to make the least and you wouldnt expect a terrible player to make a lot

there is a very good reason why faine was paid so much and goodwin comes a lot cheaper

Now while I feel Faine is the better center, prior to him coming here, he was in Cleveland and really wasn't that good. Not until he played here with Drew, did he start getting recognition in the league.

does anybody in cleveland get the recognition or respect they deserve? the short answer is NO......faine was part of a good line here in new orleans but he was the only bright spot on the offensive line in cleveland.....

his last year in cleveland he helped reuben droughns become the first 1000 yard rusher in new era browns history......even tho you didnt hear of him....i still watched him in cleveland and people that know football were not happy to see him go because we was so good

coming to new orleans didnt make him good....it just made him recognizeable....faine is a top 5 center in the league and he gets paid like it

Now if you're going to ask me who would I rather have right now, Faine or Goodwin? Goodwin... no hesitation. Why? He's a ProBowler; we're 14-3 with the chance to make it to the Superbowl; we've run the ball effectively with him all year long; lastly he cost WAY less than his counterpart.

other than the pro bowl thing, this portion of your post has nothing to do with goodwin......all you are sayin is that you are happy with how our team has played and you wouldnt make any significant changes to the team......in fact....the only part that has to do with goodwin....the pro bowl part.....also doesnt prove that he is better

you probably didnt know that faine was in fact a pro bowler despite all the hate he got from posters here in 2007

This is all so baffling. One day Goodwin... it happened with PT, it could happen for you. One day. Bottom 5... bottom 5. Ridiculous.

because i was wrong about pierre you think im wrong about everybody......

i was man enough to admit how wrong i was about PT.....why wouldnt i do the same thing about goodwin if in fact he did prove me wrong? i dont have any kind of grudge against goodwin.....i want him to play well and when/if he does, i'll give him all the credit he deserves

until then, name me 5 starting centers that are worse than him
