what a joke. not sure why pro bowl voting is open already but it is, you can vote as many times as you want. i suggest we all go ahead and vote for philip rivers..

there's no way of telling how his season will go from here, but hell, i saw we skew the poll!

10/17/2008 4:18:58 PM

I thought this was a pro bowling thread.

i had to vote in Dan Orlovsky as one of the NFC QB's because of his sweet safety last week

10/17/2008 4:29:15 PM

lots of State players on there I voted for...Rivers, Holt, Cotchery, Mario, Manny, Tulloch, Tyler, Adrian

no deangelo or phillip is a travesty.

12/16/2008 4:16:15 PM

Kasay got shafted, gg Mario, Deangelo got hosed but if most people voted say, a month ago, I have no problem with AP, Turner and Portis going over him

12/16/2008 4:21:47 PM

2 nc state players only one unc...............

12/16/2008 4:23:56 PM

Why is Steve Smith a reserve?

12/16/2008 4:24:00 PM

b/c he's an elite receiver

12/16/2008 4:25:47 PM

peyton, favre and cutler as the AFC QB reps?

I guess the main criteria was how many interceptions you have thrown?

How about rivers, roflsberger??.. Hell, I'd rather have thigpen or flacco on my team than the interception machine combo of favre and cutler

^^^^^Although seeing Deangelo on the team would have been nice, I can't really argue with any of the NFC RB picks.

I think being "elite" would mean that he's far and away the best of the best. According to Pro Bowl voters he's no better than third in his own conference. Maybe it's just the Arizona media bias...

12/16/2008 4:29:30 PM

"elite" means no such thing

You're making yourself sound dumber everyday

and please, retort with yet another ECU comment

12/16/2008 4:35:01 PM

clearly Antonio Gates is not an elite tight end since the fan's didn't vote him as a starter

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what it means

"singular or plural in construction : the best of a class"

You're pretty much asking for me to crack on your second-rate education if you don't know the definition of elite.

12/16/2008 4:38:50 PM

will you fucks kindly take your steve smith circle jerk to the other thread already about that. christ.

12/16/2008 4:39:40 PM

Isn't that what the purpose of the pro bowl is?

To showcase the elite players?

12/16/2008 4:43:26 PM

First LOL at quoting a free online dictionary in a failed attempt to display your supposedly superior vernacular

Second LOL at fishing thru multiple entries of said definition to find the one that best supports your otherwise futile argument

Third and final LOL at implying that NC State's education is first rate

Actually, tack a Fourth and Fifth LOL on for that final point


Five LOLs from Ernie

Even from you, that's pretty good

Gates didn't really have a great year. I would've voted Gonzalez and Clark ahead of him.

12/16/2008 4:43:58 PM

that's not what he asked. he asked whether or not Gates was an Elite tight end

It was Merriam fucking Webster

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elite

I quoted a dictionary because you don't know the definition of elite, I thought that might help

It was only the second entry, but the first ("the choice part") works pretty well, too

You're right State is probably a second-rate school, I guess ECU is a third-rate school

we are talking about pro bowl players in a pro bowl thread. You are the one mentioning players that have nothing to do with the pro bowl....LOL Thigpen and Flacco?

12/16/2008 4:47:06 PM

They're both actually about 4th or 5th rate on a relative level

But that differentiation is probably trivial to someone who likely frames their NCSU degree like a badge of honor for all the world to see

Tom Brady is no longer an elite QB, even if he comes back next year 100% healthy and throws 50 TDs

Man, I hate the Panthers SO MUCH, I won't even give an NFL superstar on that team credit, ever

12/16/2008 4:51:27 PM

I can see how you, an ECU grad, would have trouble understanding how someone would take pride in their university.

No, you are having the same retarded argument about the definition of the word "elite" with regards to steve smith that is already in the other thread.

This thread is for talking about the rosters... who made it, who should have, who got shafted.

You don't read anything, do you?

I gave Smith his due in the other thread countless times

He's a great receiver, he's not an elite receiver

Jerry Rice is elite

Moss is elite

Owens is elite

Smith is good

12/16/2008 4:53:47 PM

Gates isn't an elite tight end

12/16/2008 4:54:14 PM

I love how hard Ernie's cock gets when he's defending the academic prowess of at best the 6th best college in the state

12/16/2008 4:54:34 PM

we're the #1 best college in the state in football

Ernie gets all hard over hating on the local team

When Ernie talks about the Panthers, he's about as objective as the exact opposite of what Jaybee claims to be

Since this thread is trashed

What are the five NC schools that you'd put ahead of State academically? I can only think of four.

Either way, please don't try to put ECU on State's level. ECU is a glorified community college.

Of the 25 most targeted receivers in the NFL thus far this season, onlt 2 have less than half as many catches as targets...Braylon Edwards & Terrell Owens

Doesn't sound elite to me. If you're talking about career, then I think you may be in the wrong thread as this is about Pro Bowl voting, not Hall of Fame voting.

i really can't believe phillip rivers got sodomized like that.

12/16/2008 5:05:57 PM

Rivers didn't make it cause most fans see him as a shit-talker (due to the Colts fan episode & his 'feud' w/ Cutler). He's simply not well-liked by the public plus most NFL fans equate QB success w/ wins, as they do with pitchers in MLB (despite both being flawed measurements of success)

Philip got Norv Turnered this season.

And short of a miracle, he will probably get Norved again next season.

12/16/2008 5:13:31 PM

and for the smitty hater...

smith was the last receiver to get the triple crown of receiving, in 2005. most receptions, yards, and touchdowns. it's only been accomplished 3 times ever, by jerry rice, smith, and sterling sharpe

he did it on a team that ran more than it passed. a team that still runs more than it passes.

elite

I'll refer you to what I said four months ago

Quote :

"Smith had one awesome season, 2005. Before or since, he hasn't been in the top 10 in a single category."

Also, it's nitpicking, but he was tied for most receptions and TD in 05 with Fitzgerald and Harrison, respectively

He's third in yardage this season, 15th in receptions and tied for 13th in TDs

Crown him

also, favre??? does anyone watch football that voted???
and no deangelo or kasay???? deangelo is avg 5.5 a carry, kasay has missed one kick, a 58 yarder


complete and utter bullshit

[Edited on December 16, 2008 at 5:22 PM. Reason : ]

12/16/2008 5:22:09 PM

deangelo is also 2nd in the NFC in TDs (14 vs. turner's 15)
while sharing the other 1/3 of the load with stewart (who has 8 TDs)

i think he should have made it, but yea a lot of the voting was done a few weeks ago

12/16/2008 5:23:47 PM

Plus let's be honest, everyone voted in will try to get out of playing, so another 8-12 players will get asked to go to take their places.

12/16/2008 5:25:37 PM

Rivers not getting in despite leading the league in passer rating and touchdowns is a pretty big snub.

I'm holding out hope for a miracle, that the Chargers win on Sunday and the Broncos lose so that the week 17 matchup between the Chargers and Broncos will decide the division.
