Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
I thought that Nick Fairley clearly had a pro bowl season. He's been consistently in the backfield this year. I was hoping he would be solid when we signed him, but instead he finally started living up to his draft hype. I don't care how many sacks he has, either. He did the job that elite DT's are supposed to do.
Brees not making it isn't shocking to me, but a little surprising. The yardage and TD's say he belongs in. But he's turned the ball over in bunches and the team has not been very good. It's a political world, even in sports. I knew he had the numbers to get the nod, but I stopped paying much attention to individual accolades when it became apparent, years ago, that more emphasis was placed on superficial factors. The Saints have been losing for too long and Brees has, at least for now, lost his "winner" status. Good players on bad teams can sometimes make it if they play at a less sexy position. At least that has been my observation. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
Btw regarding the browns probowler..........was that Terrelle Pryor? If it was, it was a comeback story for someone who transitioned from qb to wr and did it successfully. Up until RgBust came back, he was the defacto number 1 receiver.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
My mavericks have not been winning for years like they should but instead of quitting I just don't invest in them right now. But at least I can see they have a reason for losing. Players don't want to play for them even when they had the money to afford them. Look what Deandre Howard and Blake Griffin did to them in 2014? That's as cruel as it gets in a sport like that. I only followe NBA for DFS purposes. The saints are not the mavs.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
I am just saying that the mavs are in a no-win situation other than tanking for a high draft pick(but Dirk will take them to a 8 seed watch). Basically I meant DeAndre Jordan. He was about to sign with Dallas and then decided not to. Blake posted a twitter pic of a chair blocking a door which was directed at us.
The point I am making is the saints have taken the hard way out trying to get back to winning where compared to the mavs the saints actions frustrate me more. |
