Dallas Cowboys Best Team in the NFL?

Wilson didn't even make the pro bowl. Coaches & players who actually know a thing or two about the sport selected better QBs ahead of him such as Aaron Rodgers & Tony Romo, So much for Wilson being the greatest of all time if the coaches & players won't even vote for him.

It's really not all about wins, especially when you have a tremendous supporting cast to make your job easy. A great defense, defensive & offensive coaches, Marshawn Lynch, an architect that designed an upside down canoe to generate noise due to the utter lack of enthusiastic & knowledgeable fans in the puget sound. Perhaps, Wilson is the weak link on the Seahawk team. Imagine how good the Seahawks would be if they had someone like oh, Roethlisberger, Romo, or Ryan.

You do realize that Seattle is the defending Super Bowl champs and current favorites to repeat....don't you?

I thought the Redskins won last year. Well, that changes everything then!

Snubs

Russell Wilson, QB: This is quite possibly the biggest snub in the NFL this season among Pro Bowl candidates; Wilson was chosen only as an alternate. He became the only QB in NFL history to rush for 100 yards and pass for 300 in the same game, which he did Oct. 19 in St. Louis. He is the fifth QB in NFL history to rush for 100 yards with a TD and pass for 200 with a TD in the same game, which he did at Washington on Oct. 6. That night, he also set a Monday night quarterback record with 122 yards rushing. Wilson has rushed for 842 yards this season, for a 7.5-yard average, and he leads all QBs with six rushing TDs. Wilson also has passed for 3,236 yards with 20 TDs and only six interceptions, despite being under constant pressure from on offensive line that has struggled at times with pass blocking. Wilson passed for 339 yards in the 35-6 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday night and rushed for 88 yards, including a 55-yard run. He might lead his team to a second consecutive Super Bowl. What more does the man have to do?

Whom he should have beaten out: Ben Roethlisberger of Pittsburgh and Tony Romo of Dallas are having seasons that rank among their career bests

Quarterbacking is about getting the ball into the end zone. Folks on here getting their panties in a bunch about passing yardage are focused on the wrong thing. Wilson is not a one trick pony and gets it done by throwing, running, scrambling and creating plays where you thought none exists and throwing short passes to get yardage. It is not hyperbole to say he's redefining QBing.

Randall Cunningham could do everything Wilson does with one leg and 3 total fingers. If it is about getting the ball in the end zone, who do you think has led more touchdown drives? Romo or Wilson? Who is going to the pro bowl? Romo or Wilson?

Who has played for only three seasons? Think about that.

Pro Bowl? You've gone full retard. Wilson was busy preparing for the Super Bowl.

Hmmmm. Some made-for-tv scrimmage or the championship game. Tough choice.

I swear some of the posters here don't even watch the game. Players take a lot of pride & are honored to be invited to the pro bowl. Not only do fans make up some of the vote, but there fellow players & coaches vote as well. The coaches, players, & fans didn't think Wilson was a top 6 QB. Most of the pro bowl invites don't care about the actual game itself, but the invite is something that goes on their resume, & is mentioned often throughout their career.

Announcer: And at cornerback you have Miller who is a 4 time pro-bowler.

Of course every team & player is striving to win as many games as possible to make it to the super bowl & a by product of this is a pro bowl selection. Also, the Super Bowl is more of a team effort & pro bowl is more of an individual thing. If the pro bowl invite doesn't mean anything, then why was Richard Sherman so ticked off yesterday when some of his teammates didn't make it?

Why would I/anyone watch?

People get "snubbed" all the time.

Because Sherman is trying to be selfless. Being nominated is a nice recognition, I guess, but they all know February is what matters.

Practically the whole LoB was nominated. That's awful nice of Sherman to encourage the other guys.

I have to repeat myself I guess. It is not about the actual pro bowl game, it is about the nomination. A lot of players won't even play in it, but they will be honored to be voted in by their peers.

Nice display of stupidity. Grouping Rodgers and Romo together?

You can say the same thing for the 3rd string QB and back up punter

Not really, since most teams don't have those players on their active rosters. And they're certainly not the most important player on the field.

fine, I think "Tarvaris Jackson, Super Bowl Champion" makes a good enough point.

I believe the point is that it's harder to be a SB champ than it to be selected for the Pro Bowl.

Time to update the rankings!

And I'll take the chance to lose to Seattle in the NFC Championship game just get us there first.

The Dallas game vs Washington means nothing. Only way (barring ties) for us to get a bye is if Seattle and Arizona both lose this week. And if that happens it doesn't matter if the Cowboys win.

Here's the latest:

Dallas moves up to #5 but given only a 5% chance to win the Super Bowl. Seattle (32%) and New England (26%) remain far and away the top two teams.

No surprise there, looks like those two are in a collision course. Then again it's the nfl so who the hell knows.

As for the Romo/Wilson debate: a lot of you can't seem to grasp a couple things.

1) the actual game doesn't matter, but being a "pro bowler" is a huge deal.

2) arguing that the super bowl is better is retarded, retarded. Of course it is. But a super bowl is won by a team of 52 players, coaches, executives, etc. The pro bowl allows us to look at individual players to see who is better. The super bowl shows us what team is better. Using a super bowl is a great way to argue about teams. Stats, awards, and pro bowls are a great way to argue about players.

Players don't get to the Probowl on their own. It's a team game and everyone has teammates to thank for their success.
