You don't think fan votes are a popularity contest? You should have seen AL All-Star balloting this season, where the only player outside of NY and Boston to lead balloting for his position was Vlad Guerrero.

No, he will be pleased to see how far this league has gotten since he left. Probably not. All its turned into is whos more popular is going to win awards and get GM Jobs not the ones who deserve it. Popularity? Please tell me in which poll the best player isn't winning.

Leroy a lot of people like T.O and he is so great of a player you cant leave him out.. Theres a difference when a player puts up top-2 or 3 numbers in the NFL as a WR when theyre are over a hundred of them thats a lock for the Pro Bowl..

YAC doesn't really matter if you have less yard in total though.. and he only has one more pancake, it should totally be Beast

Sexxxy had a big game against us in week 12 to make it close. Before then, Beast was blowing him away all season in catches and yards.

Listen, for the TE's...it comes down to what the voters think make a good TE. It's regarding what has happened the entire season (so that "1 good game in week 12" combined with several pretty good games throughout the season adds up.)
Pretty much, QB is the only really really close ballot. Statistically, it's evident that Manning is "the Man" but Lipton has the Victories plus some padded stats. Is Manning the most popular QB in this league? Or do we (the voters) have our subjective viewpoint (based on FACTUAL statistics) that cause us to vote a certain way. In the case of Sexxxy vs. Beast vs. Lewis...the TD differential of Sexxxy vs. Beast is what put my teammate over the top. They were fairly comparable in all other categories. Is this a knock against Beast or Lewis...who is more of a third Tackle in the game? No, not really. It is who I feel is the #1 TE in the game based on the statistics that I feel are important. I could care less who any of you are. If you produce, you get my vote. I (Brunxa) have any votes as a FB. He started late in the season and hasn't done much to warrant any sort of recognition. So I didn't vote for myself...
Just because you feel you are being slighted doesn't necessarily mean that it's biased against you. When I voted, I looked at the stats before me...found which ones I liked the best...then saw the name attached.
Mr. Schust...TO is voted in to the Pro Bowl because TO puts up Pro Bowl numbers. He might be an @$$ off the field, but when he steps on the field, he's a tenacious blocker (for a WR) catches the ball in traffic and is a threat to score every time the ball is in his hands. He's big, fast, catches well, runs decent routes and (generally) opens up the game for whatever team he is playing for. I don't like TO the person...but he gets my vote as a Pro Bowler because he produces.

The Pro-Bowl is about a 95% popularity contest......
Michael Vick SUCKS and gets in almost every year.
Last year, Anquan Boldin was tied for the 2nd best #'s in the NFC; yet, he doesn't get in.....

Look at his turnovers man, Vick may bring unpredictablity, but he injures easily, and often takes unnesacerry risks, causing many turnovers..
