One more Pro Bowl thought from the airport: Joe Mixon over James Cook is silly. Cook blows him away in every meaningful rushing metric, including DVOA, where he’s 2nd (!) behind Henry.

Did a bunch of people vote for the less qualified choice and now we all have to suffer under their lack of knowledge? Hmmm…seems to be a pattern with the American voter. 🤔
has she ever made a significant wager on any of her opinions?! doubt it?! all talk, like all the rest of the clowns over at the Network?! prove me wrong?! #NFL #ESPN @ESPN
I know a lot of money is tied to these selections but like MVP- As a fan I don’t care about anything but the big one- as a Lions fan I am head down and full steam ahead
But there was that time he led the team to the State Championship when Lance Harper went down. And the Lance Harper found his calling when Jon Voight was booted off the team....
Cook's consistency is part of the reason why the Bills' offence is so good this year. Mixon's inconsistency is part of the reason why the Texans offence isn't good. Neither are the main drivers of the team's success, but one of them had a far bigger hand in why their teams have surprised this year.
Cook with every meaningful metric over Mixon gives my vote to Cook. Just like Lamar has almost all meaningful metrics with a head to head vote with Josh Allen.
You know what? I retract my previous statement. Only Lamar is actually having a better season than Goff. Goff's been better than Allen or Burrow, you're correct.
Also, pretty sure Cook didn’t punch a woman in the face in college. Glad Mixon is out of the AFC North so I don’t have to see him play the Steelers twice a year.
True we need to keep thugs like Joe Mixon out of the sport. We need more class acts to be role models for our children like Ben Rothleisburger, Antonio Brown, and James Harrison
I feel like James Cook suffers from not looking “running backy” enough. I don’t agree with it, but he has that Jerick McKinnon factor of being long and lean. Both of them make up for it in shiftiness/field vision, but I think people just make a judgement off their first look.
Won't most of the "snubs" eventually make the roster when guys opt out of the game or are playing in the Super Bowl? I may be misremembering past years, but I feel like that happens a lot with the Pro Bowl.
I enjoyed it as a kid in the 90s. I could care less now. So many people drop out. When tyler huntley made it after 4 starts, i stopped looking who even made it.
So Jackson plays with a pro bowl WR, RB, FB, C and 4 guys on D while Allen is only playing with a pro bowl OT. it really a question which one should be the MVP?
National media always treats the Bills badly. Not enough money in Buffalo to make them vote for the Bills players. Dallas has all the money so Dallas gets all the votes.
Pro Bowl votes are silly and this is part of the reason why. Cook doesn't get volume like other guys so he'll almost never have the opportunity to put up the counting stats these other RBs do.
I'm a Buffalo Bills fan I love the bills go bills my dad's from Detroit so I have little a big spot in my heart for the Lions the Buffalo Bills Detroit Lions Super Bowl would be amazing with the bills winning that's the only thing we care about right now is Bill's fans
I always think of someone saying you often “get selected one year too late & get voted one year too many” (past prime). Wish I could give credit to the right person but this applies here for sure!
I have questions about the pro bowl. How is that the Eagles have the #1 pass defense in yards per game and #2 in passer rating allowed but have no players from the secondary in the pro bowl? And no Jordan Mailata?

Signed,
My Fantasy Team
Efficiency numbers take a DIVE with increased volume. Cook has 64% of the carries of Henry
McConkey avg 13.7 Y/R compared to Chase’s 13.8. Ladd is 10.1 Y/T to 10 Y/T too. Ladd has 70% of the targets of Chase.
Not similar players
The fact advanced stats like that are not used should be concerning.
Pro Bowl or NFL100?
