2011 Pro Bowl Rosters Announced; Titans Shut Out

by Jimmy on Dec 27, 2011 6:14 PM CST in NFL News

The NFL has announced the 2011 Pro Bowl rosters tonight and the Tennessee Titans do not have a representative on the team. This really does not come as a surprise because there really is not anyone on the team that you can point to and say they deserve a spot.

It is interesting though that, by my count, the Titans are the only team left with any playoff hopes in the AFC that do not have at least one representative on the team.

Of course these rosters are very fluid because half of the guys you see on that list will not end up playing in the game for one reason or another.

I do find it interesting that Philip Rivers is the third quarterback for the AFC behind Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger. All I know about Rivers really is that I drafted him high in a couple of fantasy leagues and he let me down all year long.

Finnegan or Bironas could have made it

But no one outside of Tennessee ever sees these guys play really

Don't worry, he'll be there.

As the 15th Pro Bowl QB once everyone else drops out.

Not surprising.

More proof that the Pro Bowl is just a popularity contest.

Somewhat

But my Niners got 8 picked this year, and they haven’t had a lot of hype around them. Looking at they Titans it’s just hard to pick anyone who has excelled this year. They’re all pretty good, but none exactly above and beyond. Kenny Britt might have been the best pick if he hadn’t gotten hurt.

Just based on stats,

Brady, Rapistfucker, and Rivers were easily the top 3 QB’s in the AFC. There is a clear cutoff after Brady and then after Roethlisberger and Rivers, before the tier that includes Dalton, Fitzpatrick, Hasselbeck, Flacco, and Sanchez.

LOL Rivers as a pro bowler

Yeah he's been very good this year, what with his career-high in interceptions and all.

Who do you take over him though?

Just looking at the numbers, Rivers is clearly above all AFC QB’s who haven’t committed multiple rapes or won multiple Super Bowls. I guess you could mayybe argue Dalton or Flacco, but as much as I dislike all three, I have to admit that Brady, Roethlisberger, and Rivers are the clear-cut top 3 (in my opinion, of course).

Rivers has more turnovers than TDs

that is all

False.

He has 25 TDs to 24 TOs. But your point still stands. I was basing my argument only on his passing numbers. Didn’t realize he’s fumbled 9 times!

However, when you look at the other guys I mentioned, Hasselbeck has only 1 more TD than INT, Flacco only 2, Dalton 5, and Sanchez 7.

QB’s all across the board in the AFC – with the exception of Brady – are down this year. Upon reconsideration, I think it should come down to Rivers and Dalton. Dalton is probably more efficient, but Rivers has put up huge passing yardage numbers this year.

He has 25 TDs to 24 TOs.

HOLY SHIT HE'S DEFINITELY A PRO BOWLER

And just out of curiosity...

who would you vote for as #3, and why?

by sm00thBlue on Dec 28, 2011 2:12 AM CST up reply actions

Dalton.

Dude has passed for 3,000+ yards in his rookie season, even at times without AJ Green. When you play in the AFC North, that’s impressive.

He also has 20 TD’s to only 13 INT’s.

Rivers has talented players around him and plays in a very weak division, and largely because of his play, are currently eliminated from the playoffs and have a losing record going into the final week of the season.

Dalton has the Bengals in the wildcard lead… and hopefully, for our sakes, that doesn’t stick… but either way, he deserves to be #3 more than Rivers does.

However.. Rivers is a pretty-boy finesse QB in a flashy Californian city with Christian family values and a comical inability to swear, who has the media constantly hyping him up and slobbering all over everything he does. I’d expect him to make the pro bowl even when he has a terribly inconsistent season such as this one.

Dalton or Schaub

FOTUD covered Dalton.

I’d rather have Schaub and the games he was injured for than the terrible stretch Rivers had from week 7 – week 11.
5 games, 10 INTs, 5 losses. that’s why the Chargers aren’t in the playoffs. he has 8 multi-INT games!

i might even entertain Flacco over Rivers, if only because the AFC North is way harder on QBs and Flacco hasn’t had nearly as many WTF games as Rivers has.
