Redskins Pro Bowl Selections: Alexander, Griffin III, Williams, Fletcher, Kerrigan

[KERRAKPO9198]

BS, Kerrigan, Fletcher, and Morris should all be in the Pro Bowl.

Dez Bryant didn't get in either and he is having a monster season. Makes you want to smack your momma. Oh wait, nevermind that last statement. Forgot who I was talking about.

It's tough because we are all happy RG III, Trent and Lorenzo made the Pro Bowl but the Pro Bowl in itself is a complete farce so how great is it???

It can easily be said that Alfred, Will Montgomery, Kai, London could have made the roster.

But all that anyone needs to know about the Pro Bowl is that JEFF SATURDAY made it ---

For those who don't follow the Packers, Jeff Saturday is the worst member of an overall terrible offensive line. The Packers don't have a good running game and Rodgers is usually running for his life or getting sacked.

Jeff Saturday was SO BAD that he got benched this past week for poor play.

Any credibility the Pro Bowl had is completely gone when a player such as Jeff Saturday makes it...

Let me guess, Ray Lewis made it in.

...
Griffin III is the first rookie quarterback selected to the Pro Bowl in Redskins history. Prior to 2012, only six rookie quarterbacks in NFL history had been named to the Pro Bowl. He is the first offensive rookie for the Redskins to be selected to the Pro Bowl since running back Larry Brown in 1969. Griffin III is the first Redskin quarterback of any experience level to earn a Pro Bowl selection since Brad Johnson following the 1999 season. His selection is the 21st by a Redskins quarterback, joining Johnson, Gus Frerotte (1996), Mark Rypien (1989, 91), Jay Schroeder (1986), Joe Theismann (1982-83), Billy Kilmer (1972), Sonny Jurgensen (1964, 66-67, 69), Norm Snead (1963), Eddie LeBaron (1955, 57-58), Al Dorow (1956), Harry Gilmer (1950, 52) and Sammy Baugh (1951).

...

It occurs to me that today's selection also ends the longest drought the franchise has ever had in a Redskins QB not making a pro bowl - twelve seasons.

Its always been a glorified popularity contest but it's still nice to win those. Besides no Redskin got in who didn't deserve it so let's look at it with some nuance.

Congrat to all 3 of them.... Well deserved!!

Scratching my head as to how Gore makes it in over Morris....WTF?!?!? Am I missing something?

[ADF]

Both of them (Griffin, Morris) weren't going to make it. I was thinking that Morris would get in and Griffin would be the first alternate. Can't win 'em all.

I was thinking the same thing. I was bracing myself for Griff not making it. The Pro Bowl is notorious for cronyism as we can see by some of the selections this year. I knew he was popular with the fans but it is great to see that the coaches and players respect him because you never know.

Dude, I don't use twitter and could not care less about hash tags. Could you use English when posting!?!

Seriously - if someone could please telegraph me when we have changes I'd be appreciative. Stupid Pony Express hasn't been working in these parts in years.

wrong thread

Alfred was snubbed. He deserved the nod over Al Gore.

Fletch was also robbed, again. I guess he needs a stupid dance or an allegation of homicide.

****in Laron Landry made it. Straight up joke.

[SonOfWashington]

Eh, Fletch hasn't been all that good this year. No biggie there.

Well Willis has had a worse year statistically. He only got in because the SF hype train is running full speed ahead.

[Farbod21]

RG3 and Dan Marino only rookie QBs to be named to original Pro Bwol roster. Others later got elevated from alternates.

Congrats to all our Pro Bowl bound Redskins!!! I hope they all miss the Pro Bowl due an unexpected Super Bowl appearance.
