NFL 2025-2026 Season

How ridiculos ....
After playing 7 games Wonder boy Sheddur Sanders is making the Pro Bowl (no wonder no one watches or plays in it)
Sheddur is replacing Maye because Maye is playing in another game, called the Super Bowl.

You mean Sheddur played so well that he's ahead of all the other QBs in the AFC ?
Please .... this is how players get gift Pro Bowl selections on thier resume.

Just so you know, Sheddur played only 7 game .... threw 7 TD's and 10 interceptions and a 56% completion percentage.

Wonder how that happened .... Things that make you go hmmm ....

I know its a replacement vote, but still, theres not an established QB thats better thats not in the SB ?????
Allen, Burrow, Mahomes ect ectect ...

Presumably they said no. The Pro Bowl is meaningless anyway. They should just name a first and second team and call it a day.

Sanders in the Pro Bowl seems crazy, but if you look at the stats... yeah... it makes no sense. He should be pretty far down the list. Granted, when you do look at the stats, the better stats are in the NFC. But still, the Cleveland Browns QB for half a season or so and not great stats? He does have a fanbase, which I don't quite understand either.

The Pro Bowl is about money. And with other QBs either disinterested or injured, apparently maybe even I could make a Pro Bowl appearance.

Pro Bowl rosters are determined by a combination of one-third fan voting, one-third player voting and one-third coach voting. Selected players can decline to participate if they choose. Other likely contenders from the AFC include two playoff quarterbacks, Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars) and Aaron Rodgers (Pittsburgh Steelers), along with Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens) and Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals).

Sanders has a base and he got the vote out (is that too political?). Seriously though, as long as he doesn't make a big deal of it and works on improving next year, this is an oddity, and nothing more. His base is rabid and irrational, but as far as I can tell Sanders hasn't been a head case. He has been a lot more settled than Manziel was. He might not be the QB of the future for Cleveland (he'd join a very large family of former QBs at that), but the Browns were doomed for a few years post the end of the Watson draft pick consequence.

They may as well make it a fastest this and that / football skills now.

Do they actually Play the game anymore ?

It hasn't been a real (tackle football, and barely that) game for 4 years. Since then it's been... wait for it... skills competitions and a flag football game.

It doesn't matter how rabid his 'base' was - they are at most 1/3 of the voting. Who cares about his swagger (well, apparently some are sensitive and they are, lol), if he doesn't have the output he'll be out of the league in a couple years.

My reference that you quoted was referring to 'season accomplishments' as an additional litmus test when it has nothing to do with the selection process. Then again, you could make a case that stats in general have no bearing either, it's a literal popularity contest among the 3 tranches.

I'm also not sure we even know how far down the voting he was, it's possible he wasn't #4 on the list, he could have been behind numerous injured quarterbacks like Mahomes, Nix and Jones.

I'm not disagreeing with you, more along the lines of just following up what you said. Though I can see apparently how that could have been interpreted based on my quotes.

As far as swagger, I'm not into swagger, but prefer performance. Sanders has a rabid base, but there are is a good deal of anti-Sanders sentiment as well. We'll see how Sanders does next year, if at all. The Browns are snake bitten by bad ownership decisions and mediocre coaching.

Meanwhile, in the world of actual injustice:

Sources: Bill Belichick will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer

Bill Belichick, the eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach, will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, sources told ESPN.

If thats the case then as another mentioned, they should just do a 1st and 2nd team and be done with it, it mean absolutely nothing.

This is all about the large pile of spy moles that was uncovered in 2021, isn't it?! There are no rules against genetically modifying moles to burrow under the opposition sideline and spy on them.

And don't give me any grief over the "controversy" of Belichick getting Stuxnet installed on computer systems of every person, coach, player associated in the NFL. That amount of data was entirely useless without a super computer, that he only accidentally logged into and operated an algorithm that designed his game plans for 10 of his years in the NFL. That could have happened to anyone.

This is an outrage!

Wow! I had no idea. How little I have paid attention to it.

I remember back when young RB Robert Edwards blew out his knee playing in a rookie flag football game over during the Pro-Bowl break. He was very promising for the Pats and it took him 3 years to get back into pro-football and another 3 years to get up to good enough shape to play a full season... in the CFL.

Isn't that exactly what they do for the All-Pro Team? Pro Bowl selection has never meant much more than a participation trophy, to me at least.

Thats true, but what gets me is when they are talking about a player, they will say, 8 time All Pro ... which according to the actual Pro Bowl game means nothing.
