Pro Bowl snub for Dez Bryant?

Giants receiver Victor Cruz is in the Pro Bowl with 82 catches for 1,040 yards and 9 touchdowns.

Bryant is out with 88 catches for 1,311 yards and 12 touchdowns. I know Bryant has had some off-field issues, but to me, this is a joke. What are your thoughts?

    I actually agree. JPP was a questionable pick, too. Only 6.5 sacks this year. It's a popularity contest.

    Everyone loves the Giants cuz they play for New York. Victor Cruz is overhyped. But look on the bright side, Dez Bryant won't have to participate in that joke-of a-football-game.

    Dez Bryant has been carrying the offense, But the entire Pro-Bowl is a joke, its a popularity contest among players not who actually is the best player.

    Richard Sherman is the biggest evidence of that..

    Also Green Bays Center Jeff Saturday is on the pro-bowl, didnt he get benched or something???

    The Pro Bowl is pointless. The most popular players make it over the ones who truly deserve it.

    Like when Cam and Eli made it over Stafford (5038 yards 41 TDs) last year.

    Dez has been one of the best NFC WRs this year but like you said his off the field issues killed him. I'm sure he doesn't really care seeing as how this game is a joke anyways.

    I consider you on DA and NB, yet wasn't the pro-bowl balloting past to Fred Taylor's final 3 video games the place he's blown up? I advise he did mediocre at appropriate for the 1st 11 video games of the season. What did he straightforward 2.2 yards in line with carry and a pair of TDs? i might argue that Wes Welker merits to be there besides. there are various human beings i might want to have seen get a bid, however the certainty of the situation, for me, is that maximum every physique on the pro-bowl merits to be there. i'm of the mindset that extra newbies could be enable in in the event that they are putting up around the comparable stats as consitant professional-bowlers, yet on the comparable time TJ Houtz sells extra tickets than Welker.

    Dez should definitely be in before Cruz. It's the Salsa dude, has people around the nation hypnotized.

    the pro bowl itself is a joke. any time you have the fans involved, its a popularity contest rather than a question of who are the best at each position.

    i agree but anyone who thinks all Probowl players are in based on merit doesn't understand how it works.
